The powers that be gridding the 3rd race of the event on the back of the reverse grid race, which ran on a grid set by the cancelled race is plain stupid.
Being surprised that a driver and team who brings his own sponsor, manufacturer support and car ownership to the grid, and was the one most disadvantaged by the race cancellation… and pulls in on the formation lap with a healthy car… should not have been a shock!
R3 was nuts.. only because just about every car in the field was out of position, and crashing into everyone else seemed to be not only approved, but actively encouraged.
The series was definitely found wanting in leadership today.
Tony D’Alberto stood his ground, said principles trump anything else and stood down.
Stories go he may not be at the next round, in disgust.
Nice going GRM.

The third race was excellent. Certainly, the best tin top race this year, although Supercars have a chance to top that next weekend.
A pity Tony took the low road and decided not to race.
A mature handling of the situation would have been to get out on track and win.
It is worth recalling that had the first race not been red flagged, Tony would have been penalised for jumping the start.
Sometimes things fall your way (ie the red flag) and sometimes they don't............clearly a life lesson lost on Tony.
