Lets not forget that one of our Touring Car Legends was rather successful in open wheeler racing, and did in fact race in F1 for a period in the 1970's.

Of course I refer the the Cowangie Kid, Larry Perkins.

He was winner of the 1971 TAA Formula Ford 'Driver to Europe' Championship, 1972 Australian Formula 2 Champion, 1975 European Formula Three Champion, started a dozen or so F1 GP's in 1976/77 and was the final Rothmans Series F5000 champion in 1979 in an Elfin MR8-Chev.(having finished 2nd and 3rd in that Championship in the preceding two years.)

He also drove at Le Mans, in 1988 where he was close to a podium finish, managing 4th overall driving for Uncle Tom (Walkinshaw)

peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
is the guy in the right the one that had a little tanty and decided to fix things up off the track or the other guy who made an error and was punished on the track for his error?

Poor form LH

Poor form, give me a break Pecker. He gets slammed and spends time in the pits getting repairs and the guy who did the damage gets a drive through and finishes 6 places and 16 points ahead of him.

Poor form and a tanty, he should have hit the p...k.

Sounds a lot like Rick and Lowndes 2006 ATCC finale at PI.

yes i noticed the way Russel came up and smacked craig around, after all Craig was even more stupid and russell sat on the sidelines for the rest of the race.

Remind me not to go racing with you Sizzle, you clearly have meat head tendancies.

So your suggest that next time a footballer gets tackeled in a slightly dodgy tackle, they should take it up after the game.

The difference being lowndes caused any damage to his car by driving forward 2 metres and parking on the race line. TK managed to get away without any damage, and lowndes could have done the same (very rare brainfade from lowndes, which happened at this very track aswell this year)

Compare apples with apples please (WD was the CAUSE of all the damage on LHs car)

oh please Stealthy, your making stuff up

Rick Kelly was the cause of of craigs accident. Craig was the cause of Ingalls accident at abuDhabi

Neither of therm felt the need to go and fight the other driver.

LH- meat head and a princess all in one

$14 for the best seats in the house, and the look of the place was still desolate.

The SMH article thought it was amusing that they were saving fuel in the oil rich zone they were racing in.....

I guess that 'saving fuel' explains why no-one seemed to run the full lap length, with most straightlining the corners and using the run off areas as short cuts, particularly the leaders at the end. No doubt running at limiter speeds behind the Safety Car for ages saved them a few litres as well.

Hey guys,

Unfortunately, my recorder got the 1st race of the weekend but failed to get the second race from abu dhabi. If anyone has a copy of the 2nd race, I would greatly appreciate a copy. Will cover all costs involved. Please PM me. Thanks in advance.
