Paul is simply stating the facts regarding the likely American reaction. Watch a Nascar race, any race, Sprint Cup, Nationwide, doesn't matter.....then wait for a driver to get a "drive through penalty" for a "bump & run" move. You'll be waiting forever!!!!
These tactics are fully accepted by all in the U.S.....drivers, spectators & commentators . When a bump & run occurs (deliberate or not) they don't franticly shout out "Oooooh he'd better redress(!) that or he'll get a drive through!!" They simply continue on commentating.......the only time they make a deal out of it is if the drivers involved have had a history, but even then there's no drive through & they simply say "well that'll get back!"

So Paul is correct in saying the Americans won't understand why V8SC drivers get penalised for this style of racing as they see it all the time.

Bring back the early years of V8SC (pre 96), good old fashion "leave it on the track" style racing, not this textbook B pillar garbarge.....
