Here we go - the sprint race is away!

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:33

Ireland, USA, Netherlands and GB collide at the first corner and go out onto the grass.

Joe T · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:34

GB out already

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:34

USA are out.

Netherlands has broken rear left suspension

Pakistan have problems - locking up all over the place.

Oops, bit of a tangle into turn 1. GB & USA out...

Scott Speed needs a name change - he is Evil Kenevil in that suit.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:35

Again - live timing isn't working for us...

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:36

Scott Speeds fault that accident lookign at it - GB were down the inside and he closed the door on them.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:37

Pakistan - smoking is due to bodywork rubbing on the wheel.

Joe T · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:38

At least the live stream has a commentary this time.

rpstewart · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:38

They need to do something about all that bodywork...

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:39

Masses of debris on the racing line on the main straight.

Safety car on standby.

Hopefully they'll be able to clear the track between the races.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:39

Safety car has been deployed.

Joe T · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:40

safety car coming out

DragonHunter · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:40

nice safety car, not as posh looking as the F1 one though ^_~

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:41

Portugal pull into the pits and retires.

DragonHunter · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:42

hahaha brilliant. USA sitting out on the grass

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:43

Safety car in on this lap.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 12:45

Lebanon and china collide and eng up going over the gravel.

Lebanon's fault - was going far to quickly into the corner.

Malaysia, Italy and Canada all within 1 car length. Beautiful racing.
