Round 1 - Newcastle Spoliers

[skaifeman]

Shane's 10th now so I guess you just mean after race 1. 2004 looks like the last time it happened, with Steven Johnson climbing to 10th during the year after a crappy Adelaide.

Supercars website show SVG in 11th (but equal in points with Pye so 10th equal?).

But yes thought it would have been many many years ago.

Supercars fail. Shane would be higher on count back, given his R2 win.

Probably because Pye has completed 2 races. SVG only one.

Supercars' table matches Natsoft which also has SVG in 11th, but maybe there's no logic behind it. They also have Fullwood below Payne and Slade below Hazelwood even though Fullwood and Slade achieved the higher placings (presumably why they were entered the other way around on Wikipedia).

In the case of a tie, the driver with the most wins is placed higher. Rule D14.1.6.1. but it only matters at the end of the year anyway.

Of the two, I thought vanGizbergen had the highest win total.

Or possibly to decide who gets the orange number on their car if there's a tie at the top of the table.

Why did Brad Jones Racing cop a 30 Point Penalty? some time during Round 1?

Why did Brad Jones Racing cop a 30 Point Penalty? some time during Round 1?

Looking back, if SVG loses this Championship by less than 159pts, the ice-box decision by 888 was a big one!

True.  To a point.

Had he NOT been DQd, and kept the points, Erebus on the other hand may have raced him differently throughout the year for they would then been playing catchup.  888 has had all year to come back from that DQ, too.

But do not forgot Townsville where SVG was asked to move over and let Broc Feeney take a race win.  Less loss of points than Newcastle, but still a loss.
