lol that will slow em down

[Kel]

haha forest elbow has a forest on it!

[Duncan]

I hate seeing that sort of thing - what the hell was herridge doing? yellow flags everywhere and he still drives into the rear of a stranded car at full pace.

people have to take yellow flags seriously, they are not a chance to catch up they are a safety warning

[Duncan]

no shit, that evo's boot wing is higher than it's roof now.

gald they are both OK

[benm]

Yellow flags have been a complete waste of time in all forms of motorsport for atleast the last 15yrs.

[Duncan]

yes....but only because officals don't enforce the rules and because drivers and teams choose to ignore safety.

they are spot on about bringing back double waved (saying where the major incident is) but that doesn't take away the driver's ultimate responsibility for safety.

[LSX-438]

gee wonder who's leading!

[Duncan]

lol too slow duncan...they've been leading all day but got taken just before the yellow flags apparently

[Duncan]

oh this is turning into a funny afternoon. I would black flag and disqualify salmon for ignoring safety car orders.

lol too slow duncan...they've been leading all day but got taken just before the yellow flags apparently

too true. how interesting is this though. as usual the mountain throws up all sorts of shenanigans.

[MBS206]

Go the R8 wagon!

[LSX-438]

what a race, and streaming it via my TV browser worked well. that's the future of TV.

[benm]

Im surprised it was even allowed to be streamed considering Ch7 had the rights.

It was a massive weekend I can tell you!! Was up there helping improved production category and car 24 walden motorsports..we unfortunately didnt finish due to mechanical issues so upsetting as we were doing so well up to lap 68!!!

Its a fantastic event and well worth coming up for a looksee.

Well done to all that competed the conditions were incrediable it all happens at bathurst

[benm]

I was actually planning on heading up but on second thoughts didnt want to sit in 12hrs of rain
