i don't like the bloke that much but you can't take away the fact that he is one of the best drivers ever i know he's been a bit naughty in the past, but lets be honest i'm sure most of us have done something dodgy in the past to get a job done, his only problem is that when he did it he was watched by millions all over the world

Oh, and there's that word CHEAT again - think there's been far more cheating going on more recently....let his driving do the talking.

Anyone fancy a bet?

Edited for factual correctness.

Statistically yes, but in the eyes of those that know, we all know the true GOAT!

What are you saying George?

We managed to win this year fully within the rules, and plan to go back and do it again next year, again fully with in the rules. Maximising your position within the rules is just doing things well.

Have a read through the MLR500 threads on the MLR site and you will find a whole host of reasons/excuses as to why we won, but not one suggestion of cheating.

Neil, I wasn't suggesting anyone cheated.

The OP suggested that cheating is ok to get something you want (as with the schmacher hero), I was just asking weather something like the MLR500 could be such a thing

Personally, if you need to cheat to get something (again meaning schumacher) I don't see the point of trying in the first place.
I'd strip him of the 5 titles he didn't deserve

You are just getting confused Tiny first of all you were banned by Lakesides equivalent of the FIA ( LKR ).
Then you are told it was actually just a fellow competitor that banned you.
Oh hang on a minute now I`m confused aswell.
I reckon you must been in the wrong team.

Nothing untoward implied here.
