yes..gropu 4 was amazing...but highly lethal too, many deaths due to silly spectators and stupid officials allowing them to stand wherever they wanted..... but hey, it was banned for a good reason....shame the ford r40 never managed to get going tho..great car and now all group 4 cars rule rallycross worldwide...metros, quattros, etc etc....insane machines...check out a film called "
too fast to race".... awesome footage....
as for the grand prix...greatrace cut short by the inevitablilty of a monsoon which happens daily every evening in malaysia...wityh this knowledge it still seems odd the fia decided to run the race 2 hours late, ok, the europeans are out of bed an tv figures rocket up but at what cost.....
it seemed odd to me as well that the cars were ordered to the grid, drivers ordered to remain in cars and be ready for a restart when it was bloody obvious there wouldnt be one and if there was the drivers would refuse to race because it would have been suicide.... only to wait for the alloted 2 hours to elapse to declare the race over...it seemed dull and merely done to fill up the allocated worldwide tv schedule.. the race should have been declared done after about 20 minutes of red flag, it was obvious then that they couldnt have met half distance..... anyone who doubt the drivers ability to race in such conditions should think back to
adelaide in 1989...
great result tho..button and toyota look good and damn that red bull is a s quick as it is good looking.....roll on the next one! bahrain??? yeah bahrain..at least it will be dry!
