00:001,600 championship, 4 years in a row, so won last year, 2024, 25, 23 and 2022 and it's something
00:07that he's incredibly proud of, that car of course with a lot of history, of course the 96 championship winning
00:15car there of Garth Tander, his boys Alex and Will driving that car as well back in the day, James
00:21Davison actually getting a start in that and we know where he's ended up, he's ended up at IndyCar leading
00:26in this, this is going to end up in the defence hard, oh my god,
00:30he's gone over, Peter Fitzgerald has gone over in a big way with contact from Adrian Wilkinson, so this is
00:35100% going to be a safety car, that is a massive shame to see, that's going to be huge
00:41damage to the rear of that car unfortunately, that gearbox will be punched through the back of the bell housing
00:47and we've gone red flag, we've gone red flag, we'll see, now Peter did look, we did fortunately see, yep
00:53he's out of the car, so we're really pleased to see that, a lot of safety equipment in a Formula
00:59Ford,
00:59so even the height of the roll hoop is designed and it is mandated that if they put a straight
01:06edge from the top of that roll hoop to there's another roll hoop at the steering wheel, that's got to
01:11be at least a 2 inch clearance to the helmet, so a lot of safety there and that all comes
01:16into play and as you saw, rollover, looks spectacular, looks nasty, Peter's got out of that unharmed, he'll be shaken,
01:25he'll obviously be, his hip pocket will be,
01:29a bit sore for that, but he is A-OK and we can fix cars, we always want to see
01:35the drivers happy and healthy.
01:36We saw his arms flailing in the air as the car went over and I was a little bit worried
01:40he might have a sore arm there, you can see him talking to the fantastic Victoria Fire and Rescue crew
01:46there that are just making sure this car is A-OK, so he's up the inside of Adrian Wilkinson here,
01:50and he's just sort of closed over his left front there and it's unfortunate the way it's gone heavy, heavy
01:57into the back of the gearbox there,
02:00so that's huge damage to that car.
02:02And no doubt the officials at the meeting will take a look at that, but it kind of looks like
02:08it's just one of those things that kind of narrows there,
02:10I don't think there was malice on either side, no one's done anything particularly silly there, it's just a very,
02:16very unfortunate racing incident, I think,
02:18but we'll leave that into the hands of the officials.
02:21Absolutely.
02:22And we see our wonderful flag marshals there.
02:25We'll see you next time.
