Okay here is my view of the incident, I believe Tander slowed dramatically to try to create a team 1-2 photo opportunity with R Kelly. Bairdo who was just about to cruise past Kelly suddenly found Tander's car directly in front of him and he has basically gone, oh **** and veered left.
Just my two cents worth Peter |

Actually the one thing they do do well is make Thexton look like a real Pro Maybe they should Hire Speedy, he couldnt do any worse.

Tander and Rick k said at the press conference they had no idea what happened - if it was a brake test the data will give Tander up.
Was he just talking on the radio and not paying attention?? - then that doesn't explain this medical condition. |

Baird just proved what we've all suspected for so long, your average WPS driver can't even drive in a straight line slowly safely.

Captain, whilst I agree we shouldn't put too much blame on the drivers, it is not just the results that have made this team a laughing stock. |

I really like the way the armchair critics are quick to rubbish drivers that are having problems. If the car isn't capable or the set up isn't right the driver won't perform. In the past both Baird and Besnard have shown quick speed in other cars, let's not blame the drivers when they are only part of the equation. I have no idea what caused this incident but the amount of cheap shots fired at this team and its drivers is getting tiresome. Give them a break guys, at least there out there having a go.

I think if you want to start a thread about there performance be my guest. What would you call it, "Life after SBR" or "The one that got away" Besnard was Ambrose team mate, and Baird was in that seat prior to Ambrose getting it,both left a trail of smouldering wrecks that were best remebered for the oozing of coolant off the end of the tilt tray , as they slide gracefully onto concrete out the front of the garages, just the sound of carbon fibre, fiberglass and $100 dollar notes breaking the silence. No, I think when you drive a race car at 75% or so returning to the pits after the race has concluded that they all would handle about the same, and be fairly equal in ability required to maintain a safe distance from the preceding car |
