In a stunning twist, there is still hope Jamie Whincup could be crowned 2016 Bathurst 1000 champion after his Supercars team finally lodged an official appeal over the controversial Great Race finish.Governing body Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) has refused to rule out any possible outcome at Whincups hearing in Melbourne on Tuesday night when the Holden star will appeal a time penalty that cost him a fifth Bathurst 1000 win.Contrary to media reports, the result of the Bathurst 1000 is still subject to the courts final determination, a CAMS statement said.The court has the power to impose its own penalty which may or may not include time penalties.The drama began when Whincup crossed the line first in Sundays Great Race, only to be relegated to 11th after copping a 15 second time penalty for his role in a late incident that ended the winning chances of Volvos Scott McLaughlin and Holdens Garth Tander.Holdens Will Davison received the winners Peter Brock Trophy last weekend and looked set to hold onto it after Red Bull Racing suffered a setback on Friday.An interim ruling by the National Court of Appeal knocked back RBRs request to amend their appeal in a bid to have the charge dropped or the incident re-investigated.As a result, RBR can now only appeal the severity of Whincups time penalty at Tuesday nights hearing at the County Court of Victoria.A Supercars statement said at best, Whincups punishment could be cut to a 10-second penalty, earning him eighth place in the Great Race and 38 extra championship points.That would have ensured no change to the Bathurst podium.However, CAMS have not ruled out any possible outcome including Whincup being installed as a belated Bathurst winner after RBR officially lodged their appeal by the 1755 AEDT Friday deadline, after receiving a 24 hour extension from the governing body.It is believed if RBR have the punishment successfully downgraded to a 10 second time penalty they can argue that Whincup redressed his race position behind McLaughlin before the spectacular lap 150 incident that cost the Volvo driver and Tander.If they can prove that, Whincups penalty will be served and he will receive the Bathurst 1000 crown.Supercars boss James Warburton said he preferred the Bathurst 1000 winner be decided on a race track, not a court room.Supercars Australia respects the right of all teams to appeal the decisions of stewards, he said.However, it also recognises the groundswell of opinion from teams, drivers and fans who have expressed a strong desire to see one of Australias biggest sporting events decided on the racetrack and not in a court room.Either way, Whincups fate is not expected to be known until early next month.A verdict may not be handed down until 14 days after the appeal is heard - in this case as late as November 2.If unsuccessful, RBR can appeal through the FIA International Court of Appeal.Custom Rays Jersey China .
