I hope someone got a kick in the pants over that - we have seen what happens when an open wheeler goes off there, and I for one don't want to see it again. Bathurst is not a circuit for those sorts of risks. I wonder if James pitted at the paddock entrance on Mountain Straight, or cruised around to the pit entry - he must have seen the state of the tyres ...
