Perhaps Morris has all the money in the world to keep repairing wrecks, but there is a point, given you see at times some of the drivers being gentlemen and stepping out of the way of faster cars. All it takes these days is for a Whincup, Lowndes etc. to stcik a car down the inside of someone and racing room is left wide open.
If a few drivers were allowed to block a bit more, this would really force a pass and we could see where it is clear that someone has been punted.
Drivers should try to take risks at times for the reward of a place, instead of playing follow the leader for fear of a drive through.
The flipside is good clean racing like we saw with Bright and Courtney earlier in the year, not like Morris in Perth, that was just pathetic. His pass on Jane in Townsville was also mistimed.
Leaving it to drivers to sort out may be ok when you have 5 spare cars in the shed like Nascar, but not quite simple for our V8s.
Id say leave the drive throughs alone and penalise on points after a race instead.
Adopting the Nascar point system but using larger penalties for accidents may see better racing and not result in some guys having to run from the back to pick up points after a drive through, as some have said, the punishment does not always fit the crime.
