Thread: Plato - Enough is enough already

I also initially thought it was Plato's fault but before I said anymore I watched the replay a couple of times on Youtube. Plato went for a small gap, fair enough but a bit chancey, Shedden moved accross slightly, probably unaware that Plato had appeared so quickly and it was the slightest of movements to the left from Shedden that triggered it - definitely a racing incident.

Racing incident. If you looked at the move Giovanardi pulled on Jelley and Allison later in that race when he got the two of them at the same time at Surtees, then I think that was what Plato was trying to achieve, the gap just closed.
You lot still here?!

Its just a racing incident to me. The gap just closed ever so slightly and with the barrier being so close to the track, the impact was massive.My motorsport pics here on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/allyc85/sets/

The run from Graham Hill to Surtees provides for a lot of the biggest prangs at Brands. Remember Templeman in Clios a few years back!

It has been estimated that tom experienced 14g in the shunt, and yes we do build them like the proverbial brick toilet.

FUNKS : thanks for the extra bit of info on the reconfiguration of Graham Hill bend.
Side by side through there is clearly slower than single file which JP was. Used your picture as my screen saver for this week. Cheers!!!!
I actually thought Turkingtons move last lap last race on Jackson was a little risky!!!Indy cars says bye to Sky. Yeah baby.......

Racing incident. Plato has caused some crashes in the past so people are always quick to blame him but this one wasn't his fault. Shedden moved across on to him at the same time that Jason twitched to avoid the grass.
Seems ironic to have this thread when it concerns Onslow-Cole. I tend to think the bloke is a liability, a lot like a younger Plato.You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

How is Onslow-Cole a liability after that? He was minding his own business when Shedden fired into him and into the wall, had a very clean race meeting and put Neal in his place in race 2, he will star at times this year, mark my words.
In the past, the higher the number of spectators on the WRC stages, the more spectator-related problems there were, which often led to the WRC stage to being cancelled or the rally cars passing at...
