Stadium Super Truck racer Robby Gordon has been handed an indefinite visa ban by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) for doing doughnuts on a public road last Saturday.
He was also fined more than $4000 (Aus) by the courts for the very unsubtle bit of hooning you see above. CAMS has condemned Gordon - who also happens to be the owner and founder the Stadium Super Trucks series - and will prevent him from getting a visa to be able to compete in Australia indefinitely.
“Such irresponsible behaviour in a racing vehicle and in an uncontrolled environment on a public road is simply inexcusable,” the CAMS statement reads, “and it has the potential to harm the reputation and integrity of our sport across all levels.”
In court, the judge said it was important to keep motorsport and public road driving separate.
“So-called ‘hoon’ behaviour is not respective of our values, and won’t be tolerated,” he said. “We are disappointed that this incident is not demonstrative of the requisite level of professionalism demanded by modern motorsport.”

Banned from racing becouse he is too cool
Kinda reminds me of someone
Oh yea Dodge
Is Austrialia controlled by leftists now?
Speaking as an Australian, it’s usually bastards like these doing burnouts on the street fcking over any car culture we have because immediately after cops decide to a*hole many modified car.
4000$ aus? That’s a coffee at McDonald’s in the US?
Kinda have to agree that this is not for public streets but this looks like a typical “let’s make an example of this guy” case.
It’s guys like this that make the government and police think we’re all the same here in Australia…
“So-called ‘hoon’ behavior is not respective of our values, and won’t be tolerated,”
I don’t understand this, Australians are like the closest you’ll ever get to a proper “Hoonigan”, I mean they have stinking burnout competitions and everything.
Aus does not equal U.S.
F*cking Aussie police again!!! Biggest load of petty kill-joys ever
u just don’t understand why robby decided do to this on a street. you HAVE all the possibilities to do it legally, he races these on a racetrack with jumps in them ffs. australia has the biggest and best burnout competitions in the world. they made hooning into a god damn sport so why in the hell would you still go ahead and do stuff like this on the open road?
