If the car was uncontrollable he should have STOPPED!!

Omg Nick . Good thing is i think Danny Watts and Johnny Kane will be able to reopen the gap.

Kolles car with lots of damage, shame for them they were having a decent run considering they hadnt been out this season but crashing under the SC is a big no no.

An interesting fact is that last year a Kolles car crashed under SC and again this year!

Hopefully its clean out the gravel, new boots and go for Kane, Kane and Watts will soon make up the lost time to Highcroft.

I'm a little late to the party but another Safety Car suggestion would be to have the safety car that picks up the lead hold a consistent but slow pace. The two other safety cars can lead the remaining two packs around at a brisk pace, slowing for the cleanup area, until all three packs are together.

People talk about Grand-Am's artificial rules, well the biggest sports car race in the world is too important to have this artificial procedure cost teams a minute at a time.

This safety car rule is really bad. Minassian lost 1 minute to Wurz. And the Audi lost even more and they are now almost 2 laps down

so peugeot is about 2.5 seconds faster per lap and also, unlike with the r10 in 2008, now the 908 has slightly lower fuel consumption than the audi r15+. talk about efficiency... and about audi's chances to win. to be honest, it seems to me like audi will totally miss the podium this year, unless some dramatic stuff is to happen to peugeot.

Yes, I am afraid so. Before the safety car the Audis were about 3 minutes behind Wurz, but now the gap is 1 lap and 2 minutes. So they lost another 2 minutes with the 2nd SC, which make a total of 1 lap for both cautions

No, Audi drivers don't make mistakes, it was the curbs fault.

JMW Aston has been withdrawn, with no right rear wheel, brake disc and upright, and the right front wheel is hanging off.
