Morning freaks.

Mark Larkham explained the pit lane speed infringements were not detected by radar rather sensors in the ground at a set distance apart.

So they were all legit.

They use both, two of them were as a result of the hand-held radar reading. Regardless though what's to say that that it's all calibrated correctly? Surely that many professional drivers (most after being warned a few penalties were being issued) could fck up such a basic thing?

Poor old Ingall got a $15k smack this morning :pinch:

It was a fair sized penalty, but he also gave out a fair sized serving to the officials... they couldn't exactly take that lying down hahaha :busted1:

I'm surprised that's all he got to be honest. The way the cameras and journos flocked to him like flies on hot sh*t was priceless - they'd struck gold!

I was laughing fairly hard at his indignation.

The guy literally bumped TWO cars (not just one) from behind and partially off the track and way off the racing line, goes past them, and complains when he gets a DRIVER related drive-through penalty. It doesn't matter if you're faster; you still don't pass people illegally. :wild::stupid:

At least it makes for good sensationalism in the papers.

Putting the block on when you're the slower driver is just silly though.

Exactly

It's not like a science lesson in school

It's about understanding the universe and to marvel at wonders and natural beauty of the cosmos

Seth MacFarlane has done it again

Been meaning to d/l it as a mate told me it's a great series. Always tough to inform people about the universe without dumbing it down too much or making it too hard to comprehend.
