Layout of the track they'll use has changed since the last visit.
Rockingham is quite a good place, you can see everything from where-ever your sat! Hope this race is as exciting as the last!
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

Like a drowned rat in that last race. Was cursing the people exiting the covered grandstand at the end who were all nice, cosy and dry

Got some photos from the races at Donny. Bit late with the photos but never mind. They were taken with a cheap compact so you'll have to excuse the quality :P

Did anyone catch the Formula Renault crash today? He was lucky he didnt have some serious head injuries there, especially if he'd have dug into the ground, lucky guy . Speaking of luck though, I cant believe how unlucky Sheddon was lol. Two punctures, two seperate races, both on the same lap!
Cracking racing as always though between this and the F1, Sundays are now never boring (although maybe the F1 sometimes lets us down lol)
EDIT: AAAh found it!

Yea pretty nasty crash, see it live.
Chassis and helmet did their job nicely, although i think it looks worse than it actually was.
Was all Yamamoto's fault though, unless somthing broke on his car before hand? Otherwise seems like he just moved over thinking the other car was far enough behind him :/
