I can't help thinking there must be two GoPros facing right at each other, winking and flirting their little red lights at each other, yet never destined to be together and looking into each other's lenses. So near, yet so far.

I had a driver taken out of a race (road course, though) that same weekend and he stood near the side of the track on the grass to wag his finger as they came back around. I told him it was stupid at the time and he conceded that it was. The next morning we're all talking about the Stewart incident and he had the

"the guy who instigated in the video was spun by the 1 car"

That's not being alpha male. That's being a cock. If they want to be all 'tough' like neanderthals then knock each other around the car park with bare fists, don't throw powerful cars at each other and endanger spectators, track workers and other drivers who don't subscribe to the caveman model.

The "have at it boys" mentality just seeps into the lower classes and produces this kind of rubbish. Using the car as a weapon and deliberately coming back on track to interfere with a race is really dangerous. Any professional racing body would/should have banned those two twats for life. You'd only have to do it a

That moved the entire axle across the car. That's some impressive idiot-karma right there.

That's incredible. Strong as hell ladder, too.

Never underestimate the paralysing effect of panic. Especially when you are suddenly alerted to the fact the metal box you are in is on fire.

I saw this reported somewhere else - the talk of superhuman strength to bend the top of the door away is.... exaggerated somewhat. Anyone that has tried to get their locked door open with a wire coathanger knows it is surprisingly easy to not only bend the top of the door frame open, but also a bit TOO easy to bend it

Oh, it's possible, but not definite. Trees may be over growing them, some dick may have stolen/sprayed over them, the signs might have fallen off. I mean, apparently that's not the case, but it's only something you can add to the discussion if the signs actually ARE on the right side of the bridge.

"the bridge (which looks clearly marked from where this photographer's standing)"

Most anti-climactic post ever. 'Madness' would seem to be the most over-excitable description ever for this snore-fest. I've had more fun watching a piece of paper 'drift madly' over my desk when a gust of wind caught it.

I'm here this weekend - working. But I'll be done by around 11am tomorrow. I may have driven past you lot in a golf cart earlier this evening.

The FIA aren't really qualified to certify if the physics models are accurate, though. They demand that tracks are only FIA certified if they correspond to certain requirements, so they're basically saying that the game respects those requirements when the modelled the track. They're not even (as I read it) certifying

Valencia, not Velencia.

So basically a Group N race car with the interior left in then. Not so stock at all...

That was certainly why they started having them. Maybe they have moved to a more integrated airbag system now they have more, smaller air bags?

Yeah, but I bet it was just idiots that didn't want to wear seatbelts that said that. Also, early airbags were pretty violent anyway, but they were always designed to work with seat belts so 'murdering' sounds like un-founded hysteria to me.

That's not from me. That's directly from the Head of Crash Department of a major motor manufacturer in Europe and his knowledge of the regulations. The US government demand that airbags control non-restrained occupants. Based on US research numbers on seat belt wearing likelihood. It's not opinion, it's factual

Englishman, in Canada. Running on about 2 hours sleep in 48 hours, trying to cut across a wet car park in the dark..... I had my seat belt on, though.
