Description Home, James! Take all the back roads and shortcuts you know... or not.

From today's V8 Supercar practice session at Queensland Raceway, James Courtney overcooks things a little in his Stone Brothers Falcon. I've used the most dramatic image as the main part and the 'anatomy' of the lose in the film strip below.

No it didn't. Not a happy bunny this morning, I'll tell you. Unless a miracle has occured today, and that's rather unlikely given the service I've received from Customs and Australia Post thus far, I won't have it for Sunday either.

Still, as you say, it didn't affect this series - and there are plenty others I'm more than happy with. I'll fill up my website with them once I resize and such...

Thanks very much! I was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time for this. Also caught Bargs and Morris doing a similar trick at the final turn. Either there was very little grip out there or drivers were pushing eleven tenths today, because there was plenty of locking up and apex-missing going on out there...
