Paul Morris couldnt get back to the pits, and blocked pit lane for some time

A wheel off the Dumbrell car became airborne and hit the windscreen and leading edge of the roof of Lowndes car.
It is in the pits, front and rear screens are being taken out. The aerodynamics are going to be seriously affected, especially the airflow over the rear wing. And it is going to be bloody cold in the drivers seat

Julian, any word on how Tag and Marshall are doing?

Julian Mayo · Post by **Julian Mayo** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 11:47 am

Marshall/Tagliani have come from rear of grid to 15th, and are on the lead lap.
Ambrose went to the motor home when Luff took over. He was not game to watch, with all the chaos occuring
