    Australia’s Number 1 Shock Absorber, Steering and Suspension Specialists We’re just wrapped up the first chunk of the V8 Supercar season. We all have varying opinions on the umpire calls. The only decision I’ve not For the first time I can recall we’re actually in series recess now until September. backed was the most recent one in relation to the contact between team mates Steven Johnson and James Courtney in Townsville. I know a lot of you have a motor sport passion and therefore you know how much time and effort is invested in racing by those close to the coal-face. Sporting law, rules, should apply no matter what colours you’re wearing. The break is for 2 reasons. I had a vigourous debate with the Chairman of the Stewards, Steven Chopping after their determination to find James guilty of careless driving with no penalty. 1. To give the ‘000’s of people who work in the Series a break from the 24/7 nature of the caper. My issue with the decision is this. If James hit Garth Tander or Jamie or anyone else in the field a penalty would have been issued instantly. 2. To distance us from the AFL calendar clashes that dog the series. Don’t misunderstand me. I like James, we’re friends but these issues need to When we restart, the AFL and NRL are about to wind-down. For television be judged correctly with no fear or favour. audiences and track attendances - this helps. Equally, James and his guys would have been squealing if they had been tagged My report card for the first half reads well.

  • Simoncelli, Di Meglio and Dunlop Celebrate in Style!
    THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF DUNLOP MOTORSPORT IN TOUCH [ www.injection.tv ] ISSUE TEN, NOVEMBER 2008 Simoncelli, di Meglio and Dunlop celebrate in style! Marco Simoncelli and Alvaro Bautista have been the most consistent finishers in the MotoGP 250cc category, each scoring in 13 of the 15 races this year and are first and second in the riders' standings with one race remaining, in Valencia at the end of October. With his third place finish in Malaysia mid-October, seconds behind Bautista at the chequered flag, it was Simoncelli who was crowned the 2008 250cc champion and the Italian celebrated by completing a helmet-less victory lap around the track. Simoncelli has scored five wins to Bautista's four so far this year, but the Italian has consistently finished on the podium. Mid-season he was on devastating form, finishing second to Mika Kallio in France, and then winning the Spanish and German Grands Prix, finishing second in Britain, and third at the Dutch Grand Prix. Bautista had fallen far behind by the time the bikes lined up in Spain, having scored one win, but just 16 more points in the Mike di Meglio wins the Australian 125cc race and Dunlop's 12th straight category title opening six races. The Spaniard worked hard during the second half of the year, starting on his home ground where he was second to Simoncelli, and that led Dunlop celebrates another successful to a run of six straight podium finishes, culminating in victory in South Africa.
