If he does run out, it will be the second time. I only want him to win so that Lowndes wins.

Good work to clear the track but can’t see the result changing

Holden supporters saying that is as predictable as west coast supporters bringing up the past after any loss

32

Can win them all, just the majority

33

It would of been way more interesting without the safety car

34

McL wins

35

Unreal stuff, what a day and race it is

36

McL fully deserved the win. Had the speed all week. A pity that it came down to a safety car with only 3 laps to go, l would have liked to see more actual racing, but a great result.

Things have taken a turn, DJR/Penske have been slapped with a charge for the Coulthard holding up the field on a safety car play. Very naughty of you @theDJR

Scott McLaughlin’s maiden Bathurst victory could be ripped from his grasp after officials slapped a team orders rule breach charge against DJR/Team Penske.

The charge was handed down after an inquiry into the “disgraceful” actions taken by Supercars driver Fabian Coulthard during a late safety car period at the Bathurst 1000.

Officials originally hit Coulthard with a drive-through penalty during the race for breach of safety car procedures which saw him bunch and hold up the field as McLaughlin pitted for fuel for the final laps.

Coulthard’s actions saw McLaughlin’s lead increase from one second out to 47 after the yellow flags where first waved.

Heavy backlash flowed with Coulthard hitting back as he was just doing what he was told.

“It was a directive from the team,” Coulthard told Supercars.com.

“The team said to me ‘take extreme caution, the engine is hot’.

“I’m actually reading my phone now and I’m getting smashed for something I’ve been told to do.

“I’m a little bit ■■■■■■ off. I did what I was told and I’m getting murdered for it.”
