Aus V8 SC - driving skills
Have the driving skills of the Aus V8 Super car drivers reduced in recent years or are the drivers just pushing harder than in the past ?
e.g Aus GP 2012.

The car which taps Whincup is James Courtney (HRT #22) and the tap is really quite subtle.
As for the question if driving skills have fallen off, then you need to ask what the likely steps driver could have taken to avoid the accident. Cars came around that corner three wide and virtually blind.
Ingall drove into a spot which only 6 frames beforehand was completely empty. I wager that it is quite difficult to pull a car up to a stop in less than 0.24 of a second. Cars which were following behind at distances of inches had virtually nowhere to go.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!
You probably remember this crazy jump Rosochackie (wild movies with Tanak jumping "through" trees) - it will go in opposite direction this year.
