I believe he did end up in it, so says the story about the crash anyway.
By the way the water was around 1 metre deep up against the tyre wall.
It was caused by earth works which allowed dirt to wash down and block the drains under the track and the water had to go somewhere as almost all the land along the front straight and infield drains through that drainage point to the dam between 3 & 6 and then over the cliff into Bass Strait.
They stopped qualifying when the water crossed the white line at the edge of the circuit.
Took several pumps and lots of shovel work to sort it all out.
