Actually that's old news with Kyle. Paid the fine. Got the slap on the wrist from all parties. I don't even remember if his team (not the series) parked him or not. If they did it was probably only a week.
Quick search pops up he was in a truck at Bristol the weekend after his court date.

From that piece.
"Local F1 hero Mark Webber castigated Australia's harsh road rules at the time and said the country was a Nanny State. He argued that Aussies have to "…read an instruction book just to get out of bed..." "

Knew I liked Webber for a reason.

Not if you had to drive in the Northern Territory or Northern Queensland, where people hit 130mph on some remote sealed and unsealed roads. I disagree with Weber they brought the laws in for a reason. " Hooning" is a national pastime in the remote parts of Australia

All this shows is your and the author's lack of comprehension of the English language. Indefinite is synonymous with undetermined or uncertain. The ban isn't for life. They're gonna think about it. SST wasn't scheduled to be back in Australia again in 2017.

Found out the contract for SST's runs out after the Townsville round.

The remarks from the judge are laughable. "I'd take your profesional license if I could" lol.
He's not in a street car.
This is a glorified marketing event and bonanza. It was on the street when it happened. Which looked empty.
He did it for the people there to build a fan base.

Not a douche in a big turbo ute just trying to show off.

Judge was pretty angry about his attitude that I can do anything I want because I own the series

He was driving on the street not a racetrack..big difference

Typical Robby; his entire career the problems he endured were ALWAYS someone else's fault. lol

@Robert, historically YOU have been Mr. Negative Robby Gordon. Hell ,I have my criticisms , but you my friend can't say anything positive. Ask yourself, why am I a member of PlanetRobby?
'Hooning' what ever that means in the North American version of English? I've read a lot of comments from Australian's the last couple days. Australia was the only destination outside of North America, I had until a couple days ago. Not so much anymore. Never ever.
Indefinitely does not mean 'forever' , it means until Eugene retires, pass's away or Australian racing moves away from CARB. How much influence does V-8 SuperCar have? They could say f-u CARB, we are our own sanctioning body.

In the US we have a say'n , If you can't say something nice ,don't say it at all. We're less PC than that, if you are a RG hater tell your mum, because we don't want to hear it.

Mel we have a saying sticking your fingers in your ears, is not going to make a problem go away. Outside of NA what venues.? V8Supercar has a lot of clout with CAMS, but like ACCUS in the US CAMS are the people who did the banning. What destinations? Think about it for a minute. If your Organiser has been banned what message does this send to others?

If Bernie Ecclestone and the F1 circus was banned F1 would be no more
