Ford stars fume over NZ safety car chaos

Furious Ford star Cameron Waters believes no championship points should have been awarded for Sunday's Supercars race in New Zealand.

Waters was one of three Tickford Racing drivers, livid at the end of the 200km race, after a chaotic safety car period cost them several positions in the field.

Holden's Jamie Whincup was penalised for passing the safety car illegally during the race, while Waters and teammates Lee Holdsworth and Will Davison had to settle for mid-pack finishes after dropping several places during the safety period.

Ford's Scott McLaughlin eventually won the race but Waters said the event shouldn't count towards the championship standings.
