Danish Grand Prix - Copenhagen

Another case of rose-tinted glasses Mr Shovlar?!  :blink:  :D

 

I don't give a toss for what Sullivan does I don't support him at all in the GP's. Just thought it was totally infair and he was penalised by the Pole. Red light, Pole out and a rerun should have been the call.

Are they going to sort this bloody starting gate out or what, it makes the sport look so unprofessional  :mad:

Quite agree, disgusting for a meeting of this magnitude, the equipment should be the best of the best when being shown live on TV :rolleyes:

Anyone got someone out there watching they could text that is likely to have a can of WD40 in their bag?-May be worth ringing them-Will probably get a pit pass by the time it finishes.

 

Dont even think about replying LT-I know what you are thinking :blink:

Classic :D

But could you imagine a green light or elastic tape starts? Nightmare :blink:

Presumably the gate had been tested beforehand? If so, you'd think this problem could never occur. But since they can't rewind time, better to take time to sort the electrics than run the risk of having to use green light starts. As Stressed says, that would truly be a farce in an individual meeting where the starts are crucial.

Thinsg like this would never happen in F1.

They don't have bits of elastic in F1, and if they did I don't suppose F1 cars would stop if they were broken!

 

Has anyone ever tried motocross-style gates in speedway, where a metal barrier goes down? That might be dangerous, but I'm sure there must be some way to use the principle to prevent similar debacles with traditional starting gates.
