Stirlingmac - I was very surprised that the safety car was deployed after Richards sand trap expedition considering where his car ended up. The cynic in me wondered how much the ratings would improve with a Ford and a Holden going head to head over the last few laps.........
exactly - it was hardly presenting a danger in that position, and anything still going fast enough by the time it got there to be a potential risk, would have issues wit the fence/wall anyway!
and then not to deploy the safety car with 2 laps remaining with a crashed car in exactly the same position as a previous safety car period earlier in the race
The race was a stage-managed farce in that respect - ie to produce an exciting finish.
The most fitting ending would have been for the race to finish under safety car - the Chysler deserved to be first across the line as much as anyone else!
either that or for the safety car to have crashed too - and he had a try coming out of pit lane! With everyone else crashing, it would have been very amusing to see the safety car in a decent bingle too!
I think it was 16 finishers - and these are supposed to be the level 1 teams! I've never seen so many single vehicle accidents at Bathurst before!
and only 31 starters - Group A and Group C used to see grids lined up back around Murray's corner! V8 Supercabs suck
