They were among the big questions that came out of a sometimes wet and always wild weekend on the Gold Coast.
With Anton De Pasquale greatly benefitting from not one, but two unscheduled late stops from fellow Chevrolet drivers to make the Sandown semi-final, they are all relevant queries.
But is there a smoking gun that quashes the manipulation theory?
Former Legend and AVL debate the matter at length in the latest Full Credit to the Noise.
They also delve into the rest of the Gold Coast action, discuss F1 in Austin and MotoGP at Phillip Island (sort of) and a whole lot more.

The Gold Coast 500 ended in a cloud of controversy as the field for the second round of the Supercars Finals Series was set.

Was this a manipulation of the result? Or simply a coincidence?
Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus discuss the fallout on the Sunday edition of Speedcafe’s daily podcast.
