Orrr just leave it as it is and keep a positive mindset. Besides, #bornforthis pretty much states that they're born for racing, it's a hashtag based on the love of the sport and racing.

And a hashtag they have used all year

I like it. They are racers and aren't giving up...despite a shocking year so far.

Must be of some concern that 3 of the 4 customer cars are hosing them on a regular basis.

Does anyone else find it ironic that the safety car comes out late and everyone gets excited about a sprint to the flag with all the pitstops done and dusted, particularly Crompton & Skaife....yet we were told all last year that sprint races aren't exciting and don't work, hence the Saturday format change this year?

I remember the days of short sprint races and cumulative grids.

Oh wait, Super2 has that, and the racing seems pretty decent.

Not sure Mr Gommersall would put it down to 'red mist'. However, he is apparently quite upset about the whole thing.

I feel it is the kind of mistake many TCM drivers could make - at the end of the day a lot of them are gentleman drivers in big horsepower machinery.

Lots of damage, I heard one of the Porsches was literally destroyed.

JB is normally fairly measured, but I am not sure he is being fair, it isn't like it was a stupid move gone wrong, or aggressive bumping, someone got a bit keen on the loud pedal on a track that had been washed clean. The circumstances made for the damage, not specifically the driver's action.

What do you all think?

Bloke makes a mistake. Hardly red mist, more like, and I'll paraphrase Larry here: "Old bloke, cold tyres, f&@ked up".

Mr Bowe is also injured, which likely isn't doing a lot for his mood

Watching the accident numerous times, Bowe's hit doesn't seem major?
