Apparently, the excuse this time is that "paint is always slippery." Of course, there is NO WAY it could have been complete driver error.
Love Kanaan's comment at the end... "The paint might be slippery, but its been there all weekend."
Based on that article, she pretty much admitted it was a stupid mistake. good for her - as long as she can accept blame as well as dish it out than I do not have a problem (not that what I think matters for a hill of beans!! ;) )
Well, maybe. Lets look at the stats.Quote:

Looking at the video, and being able to see it at the track from where I was sitting. The tire in question in DP's pits is her left rear it is not moving at all until Mutoh hits it. It has nothing to do with the spin and the paint excuse is the worst I have ever heard. There is paint all weekend and in every pit and DP is the only one that has that problem... haha right.
On the DP vs Legge argument. Yes in the top level DP has better results but Legge won a few races in Atlantics where DP could never finish in the top few spots so I could see her doing better, espically on road courses, then DP if she was in an AGR car.
three race wins ;)Quote:

Similar situation to other first season Audi drivers. It would be a treat to see her in an Audi LMP1 (ALMS) at Long Beach next season.Quote:
