Any news on the investigation of the Chinese and Dutch cars? Would they lose (only) any points from the Sprint race or actual grid position penalties for the start of the Feature race?

Another dominating performance by Hulkenberg & he makes it look so easy!
Good to see that Hinchcliffe was okay after his shunt. Have no idea what vd Merwe was thinkng about and it reminded me of Shimoda's shunt at Monterrey last year. |

Just got home after being at the race, a great day. Sad about Robbies tyre problems in the sprint race, apparently he had a wood screw in it. I sat on the brown grass (as we have a drought here) at turn one and his car never looked settled through it, it was always squirming it's way through the fast sweeper.
Good news last2liftoff, he got out uninjured. |

I'm usually one to stick up for Eastern Creek, but the place looked terrible today
The complete lack of shade in the spectator area's in disgraceful (some covered area's near the bar isn't enough, all you could see was abit of the main straight) The place just looked tatty, even down to the paintwork on the walls in the pitlane and main straight. Abit trivial perhaps, but this is meant to be a track hosting an international motor racing series! The actual racing though was very good today from all four categories that were racing (A1, GT, F3 & Historic F2/Mondial) Last edited by racer69; 4 Feb 2007 at 07:31. |

The setup of the toe - leading up to t1 - from the chinese on the dutch driver was awesome. The pass itself was even better!

Awesome pass from Ho Pin Tung - that was the highlight of the feature race!

Great race yesterday, Nico put on yet ANOTHER great performance, and that Chinese car, well, he blew me away with that setup, and pas of Netherlands! That was what a world class open wheel race should be like! Shame for Ireland though, they were doing pretty good until the Swiss punted them off.

Yeah the Chinese car was brilliant. Best racing was found in the mid field. You know times are tough when the local fans went wild as Australia overtook Lebanon for 15th place.
Very enjoyable race though |

But I wish every driver could be as fluent as James when being interviewed, even after having such a nasty shunt. As he said, those Lolas are very strong, thank goodness. |

If you knew anything about racing, you would know that a enginner and a driver have to combine to go fast so just because you have a great enginneer and two exceptional talents in nico and jonny we should ban the engineer, come on there on top of there game the others need to lift there game to be competetive kebab |

I thought a racing incident, Singapore were almost side by side at one stage so Canada would have known he was there. What I haven't seen is a shot showing how much room Canada left Singapore at the point of impact, or did Singapore move slightly left for some reason then collide with Canada? The Creek was showing signs of looking like my lawn has for the past 3 years or so, very, very dry. It's a shame but at least the management are apparently abiding by the water restrictions that many seem to completely disregard. I thought there was a complete lack of civilised facilities for the spectator. Sure there are shade sails near the end of the grandstand, but what about tables and chairs to make it more inviting. I understand that at certain categories the spectators would turn them into missiles but please, we had an international show to put on. I sat on brown grass and dirt on the hill at turn one and when I went for a Bourbon and Coke I sat on level brown grass, whoopee, big improvement. The pass by China on Holland was brilliant and showed that Ho Pin Tung most certainly has a pair, a big pair at that. Re F3 being close, would it be if Ben Clukas (spelling?) was back in the series? He was at the Creek on the weekend with a mate of mine and can't raise the money. Sad to say another talent may be hindered by lack of funding. Last edited by David Towe; 5 Feb 2007 at 08:16. |

At the end of the TV broadcast they interviewed a member of the China team who said they changed something in the setup since Taupo, I wonder if it was between 3rd and 4th parts of qualifying as he lept into the top 10 suddenly and was really on it in the feature.
Perhaps they've caught on to what Supernova know (whatever that is). Does Astromega also run anyone else? |
