hey Retro,
Has Brighty made any comment on twitter about his lap 1 problems?

Mixer · 7 Nov 2009, 22:22 (Ref:2577866)

Can't believe people are *****ing about Todd punting Brighty off, running someone clearly off the road at the dogleg is dangerous stuff!

Without seeing the incar footage from Todd's car. I'm not convinced that Todd made contact with Bright.

Mr Dumbrell to 3rd

Mr Kelly could easily have backed off.. he could see he was running out of road... and that the green car had track position

That was my take as well.

The Lowndes Kelly thing was exactly the same, two egos who couldn't separate the need to finish against the need to "hell or high water he isn't getting me".

I actually think Brighty did leave room, but by leaving room he had to go to the inside kerb. By doing this, you can see the car lurches uncomfortably to the left, and then he hits Todd, who clearly doesnt want to back off.

I see no contact between Todd and Jason on Turn 2, but Jason's car is clearly not stable when he applies the brakes. This is clearly as a result of the contact at the back end of turn one.

Coming from a Jason Bright fan - I'd say racing incident. But perhaps Todd could have backed off.... then again, he wasn't to know the kerb would have thrown JB so far out of shape.

Skaifey says in the commentary that Toddler tags the back of Brighty when he re-enters the track.

He was guessing Retro

**GTRMagic** · 8 Nov 2009, 01:46 (Ref:2577942)

Was this the plan all along?

Cromley did say his wife was ill.

Nice to see Mr Caruso shows his true self.... having a go at Mr Bright by suggesting that at least he (Mr Caruso) has a drive lined up next year

Sounds like some unpleasant niggle building between the current Fujitsu supported team, and the future one...

A sign of no class...

Of course, but the noise in the garages suggests that the CEO of the major sponsor may have just achieved his personal utopia right about now...

From Brightys press release...not sure what to make of this but it's suggesting he isn't happy...

The achievement was not lessened by Todd Kelly’s barging on lap one of the afternoon’s race, which sent Brighty off the track at turn three.

They definitely didn't look like they were on speaking terms...

Just watched that on Big Poo. They certainly gave a good impression of enemies didn't they.

Again, a sensational qualifying lap by Bright. Absolutely smashed the field.

A great reaction from his team in the pits as well. It makes you realise what a special sport we have when you see such emotions. It does for me, anyhow!

Go Will!

A nice look for the new sponsors coming on board

Gave his best impression of being a spoilt little brat

For all the doom and gloom v8 knockers...there are people there...
