Well, the WTCC were racing on streets of Pau today, and after a chaotic first lap the debris left on the circuit means the safety car is pulled out, and well...

Just watch and see what happens

Not something you see everyday, now is it.

Man, that's pretty stupid. I feel really sorry for Engstler

Maylander is pretty cool. He's won two races from four appearances in Formula One this season. Not bad for a guy who isn't driving a Formula One car...

What a dumbass, and a bizarre incident... was he trying to stop the leader from overtaking him or something? :hehe:

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

I see you remembered our "Safety car is allowed to win races" regulation from when we drafted the new FIA. :hehe:
