And a new rule is added to the manual in 3... 2...

Great burnout, especially enjoyed the drift around the trophy (even if it took two attempts :-D) -- I think the only thing he hasn't done is figure out how to actually 'skid' his signature on the road. Maybe next year!

And on the rule, thing... I recall Ingall got in a fair bit of trouble for hanging out of the rolling car back in '05, and Gizzy also inspired rule changes at the Gold Coast after he did a similar stationary burnout a few years back (that was for the burnout, nothing safety related on that day). We'll see if stewards reports punish SVG for his burnout today!

yeah he'll cop a 10k fine at least. leaving a car revving against the wall while your 20m away getting a trophy is dangerous as fuck hahaha. he won't give a shit though and it looked mad on tele so that's all that matters.

Don’t reckon I’ve ever seen that before. Skaife sounded like he was trying to let him know. Haha

The sickest burnout I've seen in my entire life and got a huge roar of applause from the entire grandstand.

Did they bring in a new rule that weekend at Eastern Creek/SMP where he was putting his wheels onto the grass along the front straight to cool them off?

I don't think that it specifically resulted in a rule change (at least, I can't find one in the manual) but I believe it may have been a note for the driver's briefings - something to the effect of "if anyone does this, it could be grounds for careless or reckless driving." It would be a situation that would be complicated to enforce as a lot of it could be very subjective on the part of the officials and stewards.

On that line, I want to say it was Courtney (I may be wrong, someone definitely did it) that caused the "track is declared wet" process, because running at the back of the field after a bad day they fitted wet tires on a dry track in order to save their slicks for the next day.

He did make a comment in an interview that he is never going to run the #1 again.

There was a crowd of people a bit further down the straight. If a tire blows and the car turns a bit and decides to leave without the driver there might be a drama.

That was probably the best way to end a season I think I have seen. Ingall's out the door is still very cool, but shit, he left the car and grabbed the silver wear while still dropping a burnout hahaha

You smash the competition like he did this year, you get to celebrate however the hell you want. He’s a legend.
