Special judges award goes to the front right hand wheel launching into the stratosphere somewhere before the engine lets go!
That wheel should be landing sometime next Thursday by the looks of it!

Hmmm... that car looks awfully similar to the 3 MPS that was at Eastern Creek when Mania had their last track day there. As I recall, that MPS grazed a wall something solid and had to be towed away that day too...

there was an interview with the driver last night on TV, seems as though all that spinning wasn't too good for his eyes

Yeah, I wondered if it was the same car. If so, it certainly hasn't had a good run of luck.
