A PERVERT in a wheelchair faces a nationwide ban from V8 Supercars circuits after being caught snapping photos up the skirts of grid girls.
Police detained and ejected the male from yesterday's Sydney 500 season finale at Olympic Park, following complaints from four models.
Speaking on behalf of the models, Becky Lamb - the partner of championship driver Fabian Coulthard - said the girls were disgusted over the incident. It occurred about three hours before the 3pm race start in the team garages, where the cars are serviced away from pit lane.

The girls were doing promotional work for Holden Racing Team (HRT) when they noticed the man behind them at close quarters.
Ms Lamb said she immediately felt uncomfortable because he resembled a stalker who was ejected from the Bathurst 1000 for the same offence three years ago.
"We had been taking some photos with fans in front of the truck and started to walk away," Ms Lamb said.
"I then noticed this man in a wheelchair following us very close behind.

When she confronted their pursuer, Ms Lamb noticed an SLR camera pointed upwards from the man's lap.
"The first thing I saw was him flashing away up one of the girl's skirts," she said.
Ms Lamb verbally challenged the man.
"I said, 'That's inappropriate and I don't take this kind of thing lightly because it's sexual harassment'," she said. "I told him I'd be taking it further. He just said 'OK, OK' and went off."
Ms Lamb then reported the incident to HRT's security personnel who alerted police. The man was apprehended a short distance away within about 10 minutes, according to one onlooker.
"I noticed about eight police officers surrounding this guy in a wheelchair, who happened to be an amputee," the onlooker said.
"It was a bit ugly, because they were talking to him very, very sternly. But then I discovered he'd been taking these photographs, so it was understandable."
The man was taken to the circuit's mobile police HQ and eventually ejected.
No charges have been laid as yet, however that could change pending a review of memory cards seized from the digital camera.
"It is definitely an option that we could ban him pending the outcome," a V8 Supercars spokesman said.
Ms Lamb said all grid girls were aware of the potential for such encounters.
"We know what the job entails, but there's a point it can be taken too far," Ms Lamb said. "No one should tolerate sexual harassment in the workplace."
