Wow. Looks like the accordian giveth, and the accordian taketh away. Bummer deal Tristan, and all others involved.
On a lighter note, how was the powerplant working out this time?
Is that Greg's in-car and you're the vehicle that went flying by?

No it's the in-car from the #50 RX7. Yes I'm the missile in the grass.

Did you hit the guard rail which caused the other stuff?

It is stupid moves like this that tear up many good cars. I hope the stewards had something to say.

I agree it was a stupid move and won't be repeated.

Nope...I would have wrecked long before that point. Tristan did have a hell of a jump until...well...you know.
I was there dutifully playing the role of crew for Jeff Janoska's MARRS ITB CRX this weekend and didn't race, who ran very good races both days and came away with 3rd-place MARRS points on Saturday and 2nd-place points on Sunday.

Tristan,
I have a couple of questions. First, weren't you 5 spots in front of me on the grid? Which brings me to WTF were you thinking? Did you forget about the kink?
Watching this $#!& happen from P24, all I could think was "dear god.... i've found myself in the middle of a European Touring car race!"
The race cannot be won on the first lap, but it sure can be lost!

How did the car coming by on the inside have so much speed on the rest of the field only a second or two after the green?????????
The beginning grass part I may have done but it needed to get settled down way before you did. Ballsey move; glad no one got hurt and sounds like you learned from it. Gesh, especially with such a nice new car. More importantly other peoples' cars.

Dave- Your right, the grass was ok in some minds, but after that you should have settled down long before it becomes a video game... your playing with a lot more than just your car and your life. I hope you learned your lesson and the video maybe taught others a lesson also.
Two questions:
1) How did you get such a jump? you had to jump the start right?
2) What penalties did the stewards give you after the protests came pourig in?
