Yeah thats a shame about the donuts - what is with the fun police? A few donuts wouldnt hurt anyone, Ryan Briscoe was allowed! Anyhoo nice to see Jamie having some fun anyway in the cool down lap! Congrats on a fantastic round Jamie, great driving!

The donuts will look much better at oran park!!!
For the final time- Bring back oran park in future!!!

At least Jamie had fun on the cool down lap. After 3 pressure races he needed to let off some steam, lets hope he will be doing the donuts at Oran Park
gone bye everyone. 7:02 pm October 26th 2008
AI88 I’ve heard Oran Park is closing and being turned into a housing estate.
Maybe they can run the Sydney 400 there instead of Olympic Park lol.

I know what a shame i would have loved to have seen Jamie let loose! I agree they’ll look a heap better after the final round!

Andrew Robinson 8:47 pm October 26th 2008

i heard it was coz his tyres were reusable?
Muz 9:02 pm October 26th 2008
I heard it’s because Tim Schenkin is a pussy!!! :p seriously though, would have been good to see him let loose, although it was pretty cool what he came up with.

I think Ryan Briscoe was allowed to do donuts cause his tyres are not allowed to leave Aussie cause there is no import duty/gst on them so there fore most teams analyse their tyres then shred them, where JW would of been able to be used again for practice days/corporate rides, if Im wrong let me know, I think this is the case
would of liked to see a few donuts myself though after hard racing like that, why not let him do a couple
Richard Johns 6:07 am October 27th 2008
no donuts but the slides around the corners and snakies down the straight were pretty good though
Kate 8:21 am October 27th 2008
I did have a chuckle at “thats a negative Jamie a negative, the procedure is bring it back nice and easy”!
I am stoked with the results although some circle work after would have been excellent i would rather see them use the tyres and get another trifecta next round!
Darren Barnes 8:57 am October 27th 2008
Yeah I agree Kate, far out talk about killjoys, after all his hard work some circle work wouldve been awesome , but he had it fairly sideways around every corner on the cool down lap.
It was just great driving by Jamie I think he has matured & driving even better, what a star.
Candy 10:04 am October 27th 2008
yeh poor Jamie. It was pretty funny but. Matt White was just like “Jamie pretend you didnt hear him”
But the track is not that wide so i guess they would rather not c the #88 car in the wall after doing some donuts.
Stuie Crawford 2:30 pm October 27th 2008
lets have some donuts when jamie wins the big one at oran park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jack 3:11 pm October 27th 2008
Great work Jamie that is slack that they wouldn’t let you do burn outs
David Wood 3:36 pm October 27th 2008
i thought it was a fair request ? let j-dub have a bit of fun…
I would be reckoning that the reason for the ‘negative’ would be the tyre situation. Donuts = 2 less tyres in the tyre bank for the remainder of the season. Remember that teams rely on their tyre bank to do practice sessions at rounds. They only get their brand newies for that round for Qualifying and racing.

nice work Jamie.
if you cant go sick with donuts,
just plant it round the corners
Legend!
hope to see them at Oran Park!
