Now I remember why I don't race open wheel cars.

Also, one of the drivers left his pit before they got the fuel hose
disconnected & took it with him!

  Did  anyone else happen to catch the French GP2 race yesterday?



  I recorded it and started to watch it after work today.



  The front row had teammates who both decided to execute a blocking
maneuver
  at the start (only in opposite directions)  to keep anyone from going
around
  them and ended up taking each other out with no other cars involved.
I was
  so stunned that I almost missed another car going airborne and coming
down
  on top of the retaining wall on the car's right side just in front of
the
  driver.



  The race was stopped and then restarted after the mess was cleaned off
the
  circuit.  During pit stops one driver hit one of his pit crew members
  knocking him down but apparently he will be ok.  The driver who scaled
the
  wall is apparently ok but his car is broken severely.



  Usually GP2 races tend to be bordering on boring, but certainly not
this
  one.



  Cheers,

  Joe C.
