Agreed. Lowndesy is da man, still cant work out why he teamed with Skaife...... Stuck between wanting Craig to kick ass and wanting Skaife to crash out.

The video is blocked in my country. :(

Good thing

Out of all those I think watching the Don McTavish one made me feel quite ill.
Cant imagine how the poor bastard felt when he hit him.

This was a special crash if once can say that, was not a fatal, Lowndes wasnt even really hurt, but demonstrates how a simple roll over can escalate, The G -Forces must be extreme.
-
got that right Rob...
and Lowndsy is currently leading ;D ;D ;D
16 laps left
it is a 161 lap Road Race on what is normally an every day Public road
-
He is but howmany people have lost on the last lap LOL.
BTW speaking of crashes made me think of the japanese porche and ferrari one.
Theres two videos, can beleive they both survived although one had horrific burns
part 1
part 2
-
Not circle track, but here's a few bad crashes.

WHOOOO Holden 1, 2, 3, 4 only 2 Fords in the top 10

Thats because they base Bathurst on UN rules and have to allow a certain amount of imports in other wise its declared discrimination.
Dunno whats worse Fords in the top ten or a boat load of ragheads off the coast, least with ragheads you can say theyre terrorists and shoot them guilt free.

Speed TV usually shows AV8SC races! That is one I missed. I don't believe they are shown live but taped. They are my second favorite series behind a Japanese series...can't remember exactly what it's called but they can destroy a car quicker than they can bow to the emperor and are sooooo agressive. Speed used to show it also but haven't seen it in a few years.
FWIW

PS: Skaife is a has been...shame too!

OK, there's a reason you wankers got shipped to Oz, you ungrateful wretches!!!!! How dare you besmirch the name of Henry, who gave us the GT40 and (indirectly at least) the Cobra and the Cobra Daytona Coupe.
Shoot all the damn ragheads off the coast you want to, leave Ford out of the discussion! You've been warned! >:(
;)
;D

Silly women, call them Holden's, Opel's, Chevy's, whatever you like. Mad Max pi$$*$ them. ;D

This was without a doubt the absolute worst! Gordon Smiley died at Indy in this 1982 practice accident. Ground effects cars were just coming into their own back then, and Smiley was warned not to try and drive it like a dirt track car. He did, and the car broke loose in turn 3 at over 200 MPH. When he corrected it hooked up again and shot him head on into the wall. He never felt a thing. Bill T.

Killed something like 3 in 4 drivers. Spawned the movie "Le Mans".

Just found the Bathurst race is being televised on Speed at noon Eastern time Monday. Plan to record it so I can watch as I have time. From the comments here it should be enjoyable to watch.
