Sparky should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Thanks Guys! That was pretty much the assuption I made myself, but I wanted other views on it.

I watched it with a friend, and all he could say was "Hey, Racin's racin', If you can't stand the heat, blah..blah...blah.."
I'm sure it's a little more involved than that.

I still remember Touring car racing when Patrick Watts raced a Mini 1275GT against the Jags and Capris and won the championship!

It seems it was a 'gentlemans' sport back then. If a collision occurred, it wasn't intended, or even described as 'door-handling' - it was an accident, not dirty tactics.

Now look at it. It's not bloody stock car racing - these are £200,000 racing cars. You could build an entire NASCAR for the price of a 6 speed sequential gearbox, and they treat 'em like bangers!

Unbelievable...
