Supercars officials have ordered a full review in to the tyre chaos that has marred the weekend's Phillip Island round.
At least 11 drivers were impacted by 15 tyre blowouts in Saturday's shortened race.
At one point, a safety car was called on just to deal with the rubber and debris on the track.
Early casualty Fabian Coulthard was able to rebound to claim the race win and the championship lead.
Behind him was a trail of chaos, and the sport's organisers are keen to know why and how it happened.
"Supercars and Dunlop will conduct a full investigation into the tyre issues from today's race," Supercars sporting and technical director David Stuart said in a statement.
Craig Lowndes suffered a high-speed crash in practice on Friday, careering into a tyre wall that threw his Commodore into the air.
It was a farcical situation, and veteran Nissan driver Rick Kelly took to Twitter to show his displeasure.
"Glad no one was injured from the tyre failures. Very lucky. Tyre stickers should say 'for display purposes only'," he wrote.
Garth Tander - who ran a conservative setup and recorded his first podium for new team Garry Rogers Motorsport as a result - said organisers erred by not conducting a tyre test at the circuit.
"That's what should have happened before we got here. This is easily the most tyre-sensitive circuit any category in Australia goes to," he said.
Second-placed finisher Jamie Whincup says the burden to managing tyres fell to teams.
"You can be ultra aggressive on setup and driving style and you can blow one out no troubles at all or you can be conservative ... that's up to all the teams," he said.
"Should the category make it so you can't get it wrong? Maybe.
"I think Supercars can do a better job allowing teams not to make the mistake but at the moment it's up to them."
Mobil 1 HSV Racing called Saturday's race an "absolute disaster from start to finish" after both of their drivers endured dour days.
Scott Pye was hit by two blow-outs and James Courtney suffered one of his own before being turned around by Cameron Waters.
