Just to show I was there yesterday.....
The winner....which was interesting as the Swiss car was trailing blue smoke for about the last 10 laps,and he also flat spotted the right front in the same corner on the last safety car restart...
Aeroplane on the track
And an interesting shot of the grandstand at the start of the sprint race...plenty of empty seats to spread out over...
Why was there another major meeting at Pukekohe on the same day as the A1?..
Nothing wrong with Taupo as a race track,theres plenty of passing in the support races,the problem with the A1 cars is they just aren't close enough to each other to pass.And the driver ability goes from future champion down to extremely woeful,with a lot of the drivers being the latter.
