Waters, Edwards irate over penalty

Cam Waters and Tim Edwards have both voiced their grievances over the former's penalty in Race 11.

Waters crossed the line first in Perth, but was classified fourth after a time penalty was applied.

The Tickford Racing driver was adjudged to have gained a lasting advantage over eventual winner Will Davison.

Davison made ground on Waters after the stops, and made an overtake attempt on lap 25.

Waters ran wide at Turn 7 and returned ahead of Davison; nine laps later, Waters was handed the penalty.

A late Safety Car eroded Waters' margin, with Davison classified as the victor.

An irate Waters was blunt in his immediate post-race comments: "First of all, I wouldn't be out there if I didn't get doored.

"I'm all for hard racing, I love that part of it.

"I've been racing for years, and everyone's been doing that.

"We got a penalty for it; we're the first one."

It left a bittersweet taste for Waters, who made his 200th race start; he later posted to social media, claiming he was "robbed".

During the race, team boss Edwards didn't mince his words: "Total bullshit.

"Clearly Will drove him off the track... we're always going to have a difference of opinion.

"There's two sides to that, he should not have got a five-second penalty.

"It's bullshit."

The Bunnings Trade Perth SuperNight will conclude with Race 12 at 3:35pm local time.
