Erm....what the hell happened there? If it was an unscheduled stop,I might understand the antics,but if scheduled....that is the worst pitstop I have ever seen.
Irvine's stop at the Nurburgring was worse IMO. Especially considering it was Ferrari and it probably cost him the title.

Only one... minor point: it's a JH25. Can't pull the wool over my eyes.
If there's any footage anywhere of the JH24 (either in 1989 or 1990 spec), that'd be worth even more reject gold - it only ever made it to the race once...

I managed to get that wrong despite looking at the entry list as I was typing...

Crompo absolutely laying it into the top teams for their epic mismanagement of the situation is simply priceless. And then you had the HRT and Bundy cars mindlessly hitting each other for the umpteenth time that weekend while all the chaos was happening around them

Indeed. I still remember the 05 Bathurst 1000 where he spent the entire final hour ducking and weaving to find a way past Mark Skaife for the win while everyone else was losing their heads behind them.

Exactly what this thread is for! I've seen people being given bottles of water, but never something like this before! Commentators comment's were the icing on the cake

I remember this and loved it. This is why the V8 Supercar commentators are awesome!
Can you imagine that with Vettel, Horner and Marko? Webber would fit Luffy's role perfectly, of course
Although we finally get to see JDub actually display any sort of personality. And yes, I'd pay a crapload of money to see Triple 8 show up like this to the first race. I might actually forgive them for being so much better than everyone else as a result.

Also found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsAp7t-L6Qw don't know if that has been posted either. Now when seeing that car actually moving, i have to say it's not bad looking at all
This is neither F1-related nor on YouTube (and I would not usually read the Grauniad, either) but is incredibly rejectful driving, and carries a taste of what Signor Stramala can expect should his obsession with Italy take him there.
For the record, if this had been an original 500, three or four of the bikers could have picked it up and turned it round manually.
