There were a few wrecks driving around which should have been black flagged.

Didnt see the kangaroo on the TV on race day, but seen it on internet since.
Thats why KAYO is hopeless at the track its 1 min later than live. Probably less of an issue at Bathurst due to long lap but a PITA at shorter tracks.

Think Lowndsey killed one a few years back on live tv and everyone got upset and protested. I was there one time and saw one get whacked and it was not on TV either. There is a lot of fences there, but they always find a way through.

This footage didn't make the race day live broadcast and was only released afterwards.

Or Chaz's little drink after retiring....
Oscar should do that next time McLaren order him to stop and let NOR win.

You mean swear on live TV? Or just retire the car in favour of a cheeky bevvy with the fans?

If NOR passes him because the car blows up or McLaren orders it I think he will do BOTH.
