No one told him to put Lowndes into the wall.. He dropped it into the tyres all on his own then chose to have another crash. The pit lane penalty was s
t but spinning Simona and taking Lowndes out was all his own doing and he’d got to a position to be champion when he did it.
He wouldn't have been in that position without the penalty, which the team were adamant was unjustified. t but spinning Simona and taking Lowndes out was all his own doing and he’d got to a position to be champion when he did it. Lowndes on fresh tyres looked ominous though didn't he.
As the commentators said, if Mclaughlin was speeding, SVG must have been seeing as he closed up in that section when he was hidden from the speed camera by SM.
Thrilling race, really wanted Scott to win, he's been the quickest all year but reliability has cost him dearly. The championship is over 26 races and you need regular points to win it, but it certainly made for an exciting finale.
The penalty was a joke & it's that decision that cost SM the championship everything that happened afterwards was a consequence of that penalty.
It certainly made it a thriller, that DNF at Bathurst was very costly & very smart by 888 to get JW out so he could at least get some points.

Thanks for running the 2017 thread, you did a great job, astonishing that it's only 9 pages (just) for 26 races when one dreary F1 race can generate 40 pages (30 of them petty arguments 
), I think difficulty in finding quality coverage plays its part but still surprising.
Remember to call it just 'Supercars' for the 2018 thread, looking forward to it already.
Cheers, Cheddar.
I think the coverage for those that didn't get Superview was still good if Motorsport TV weren't showing it Live they showed the full races the weekend after & it'll be the same in 2018. ), I think difficulty in finding quality coverage plays its part but still surprising.Remember to call it just 'Supercars' for the 2018 thread, looking forward to it already.

Glad you liked the thread, oh yea the 2018 thread will be called V8 (with guest V6TT) Supercars
