Rally GB
Bishops Finger:
Got back from Cheapfest to read this on ceefax
My thoughts go out to his family it must have been a hell of an impact
Total respect for Sebastian Loeb for loosing time so he wouldn't win in the aftermath of it
Bush Tucker Man:
Managed to catch the last 20minutes at work & saw the Pegeot press conferance.
I don't think Loeb & Citroen could have done anything else but accept a time-penalty, it was simply a gesture of respect.
It was similar to a few years ago when Casartelli (Ex-Olympic rider) crashed in the Tour DeFrance & all his Motorola team-mates (inc 6times winner Lance Armstrong) crossed the line together
Lets hope for the future of motor-sport, that it's accepted as an accident & the HSE vultures aren't involved.
Xtremeteam:
the last few years have been hard on rallying in gb,
first there was the navigator killed on otterburn bout 6 years ago when the mini they were in hit one of the 1/2 dozen trees on the ranges,then there was the young lad that was killed spectating in a freak incedent & last year a navigator on the border counties when the pug hit a tree & split it down the middle then this year lost a good mate at the start of the season to a heart attack in the stage,took the shine of the sport when i turned up to help the rescue unit & paramedics & found out who it was,then michael park yesterday,
TBH theres not alot they can do to make the sport any safer & as the sign on sheets say "motorsport IS dangerous",i feel a bandwagon approach going to happen in the near future which could kill the sport like what happened in 85 with henri toivenon,
My thoughts go out to Michael Parks family & relatives
