The four Albert Park sprints were littered with incidents, a handful of which drew either in-race or post-race penalties.<\/p>\n
For those starting deeper in the pack, the races were largely a matter of survival.<\/p>\n
David Reynolds was among those caught up in the Turn 1 melee on Sunday, declaring that he \u201cqualified in the mosh pit and got trampled on\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Team 18 star had driven through from 20th on the grid to seventh in the Saturday evening race, later noting he\u2019d benefited from some misplaced youthful enthusiasm.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were a lot of dickheads that crashed. These young kids these days, holy shit, man, they are stupid,\u201d he said on the Cool Down Lap.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are so dumb, it\u2019s so funny. Like, if you just roll around and stay out of trouble, you\u2019ll make spots just through other people\u2019s stupidity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Triple Eight star Will Brown was in the thick of the action for much of the weekend, drawing a penalty for contact with Cooper Murray in the Friday race.<\/p>\n
\u2018Gut-wrenching\u2019: Murray, Bates recount Feeney \u2018flick-spin\u2019 shunt<\/a><\/p>\n Saturday\u2019s heat included involvement in a three-wide squeeze with Murray and Jack Le Brocq and a subsequent tangle with Aaron Cameron that spun both Mustangs.<\/p>\n \u201cFeels like, to be honest, everyone\u2019s just out there using their doors and their bumpers,\u201d Brown said at the end of the weekend.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s pretty much what the racing has come to, it\u2019s that if you can\u2019t get by them easily then just run into them, and that\u2019s what everyone\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n Brown shared the Sunday podium with winner Brodie Kostecki and third-placed Thomas Randle, who had been the biggest victim of the Saturday chaos.<\/p>\n Randle\u2019s Tickford Racing Mustang suffered heavy damage after a tap from Ryan Wood\u2019s Toyota at Turn 5 put him into the outside wall.<\/p>\n Wood was slapped with a 30-second penalty and later apologised for the incident<\/a>, having also been involved in a similar clash last year that spun Le Brocq.<\/p>\n \u201cI think there are a few elements to it,\u201d surmised Randle of the weekend\u2019s wild racing.<\/p>\n \u201cThe nature of this circuit is so wide and the corners lead on to really long straights with decent braking zones, so it\u2019s easy to lose momentum or get a run on someone.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd there are no pit stops, so the only way to make up positions is by doing it on the track. I mean, it\u2019s awesome racing to watch.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the driving standards across the couple of days from people have been questionable, but everyone wants the same bit of real estate. You\u2019re all trying to go for the win.\u201d<\/p>\n
