I don't recall disagreeing with his take on things before but that TCM crash was just a shame and feel nobody was to blame. Little error at the front of a compressed starting pack of cars and it turned bad. Hate to see it happen too, but I think he let off a bit too much steam there.

That was my take on it. Simple accident with expensive consequences.

Ha, he's slowly settling down.
Hate to see the man in a hospital bed though.

No idea whether TCM has a DSO.
Series always seemed to look after itself, with driver and machinery respect, but you would think there is someone watching

I broke 3 last year and for an old bloke it is a long, slow recovery. I had all the drugs in the world and had to put a pillow under one side to push my weight off center just to sleep.

I think he'll be a while out of the cockpit.

And when you get paid/sponsored to drive cars, and you are unable to due to injury, its not brilliant.

Wasn't Mr Bowe booked to drive a 488 this weekend?

Maybe he should stick to hill climb or Time Attack where he doesn't have to worry about other cars or drivers on the track.

Is the "Red Mist" comment and JB calling someone a F ing idiot in relation to the Torana spinning, or Eddie in the Falcon giving him a push through turn two and then trying to go for a gap between the two Toranas that was rapidly closing which then pushed Gommersall back out into the middle of the pack.

JB Never caused a crash in his life ?

Im sure NONE of these guys want their cars smashed but hey that's racin.

No different to us pushing the limits in drag racing and not expect to blow up engines.

Yes It sad to see but happens from time to time Ask Lee Holdsworth

Blaming either driver, or anyone in that accident, is off the mark for JB

Gommersall had a lose all by himself on cold tyres, that is all. Sure it affected a lot of others severely, but it was just a racing accident, purely and simply.

If Mr Gommersall had turned someone around, spinning them into the pack, fair call.
