The latest one in Western Australia?

I really have gotten into this series. great racing, and great action.

However:



WHAT the hell? What safety measures are they missing that let that happen?

Driver is okay, but a bit crisper than normal.

This is a great series. What NASCAR should be in the states. The drivers are excellent, and some of the races are just insane. There was one race recently where the amount of air they were getting going over the curbs was just crazy. I was waiting for something to break.

Glad speed is picking this up.

Its a compressed telecast, but I really enjoy it. Its interesting as watching this makes me want to go racing more than watching F1. F1 for me is a technical exercise, and I love it. V8SCs is "I gotta get out there"

Off the point, but just catching up to GP2 - an expected start to the race (flying cars) for all the new changes.

BC,
Tech specs and safety are very serious in this series and the front running teams spend millions each season. Fuel cell is currently situated behind rear axle line and when the car stalled on the grid it was rear ended by another car travelling about 80mph. The impact squashed the fuel cell with such force that it ruptured and sprayed fuel all over the place which resulted in the fireball. I believe that the tech regs are changing for next season and the fuel cells will be placed ahead of the rear axle line for increased impact protection.
Cheers, Charles
