Amusing..??? Ha ha, not for the drivers...Pondy in the tank of a Rover sliding into a tree, Derek Bell not listening to Mike Nicholson's notes ('oh, Derek...Derek') and Alen rolling slowly in Chatsworth....not forgetting the works Opel Kadetts all 'drowning' in a watersplash......In fact there are so many 'incidents' and lots on LiveTV....or for the highlights shows...
