Sat down yesterday to watch the annual Bathurst 1000 race here in OZ.
GM 1-2 finish, but still good to watch.
Heres a clip of Fabian Coultard losing it big time in his commodore at 290kmh on lap 1.
Walked away without a scratch

It looks like something may have broke in the front suspension. If you watch around 0:24 in the video clip, you see the car break loose, and it looks pretty damn sharp. I can't imagine an experience driver turning so drastically before the actual turn in point.
 
He gave Jason Bargwana a little kiss on the starting grid which damaged the tyre valve on the left rear wheel.
When the tyre blew is when it broke loose.
$1.00 valve destroys scratches $600,000 car, but it should buff out.
They dont need the car for another 2 weeks.
