it is a shame about Craig not getting a drive at Adelaide but the reason is he will still be under contract to his current team (HRT) until midnight and as he has decided to leave the team for 2001 they decided to say no to letting him drive...very childish by this countries biggest and most sucessfull racing team ..after all it is a matter of hours so why not let the boy do it...this is one reason why Craig is leaving the team because he still wants to pursue other drives in other classes but HRT want him in their car and their car alone.
