Todd Kelly vs Glenn Seton - Page 2

**GTRMagic** · 20 Mar 2005, 02:33 (Ref:1256425)

True enough, but Mr Kelly was hitting mr Seton on the way OUT of the corner, where the Westpoint car couldnt get traction... this normally doesnt unduly unsettle the car, unless it is totally stuffed for grip....

Watching the slow mo replays on channel 10, TK was nudging GS INTO, THROUGH and OUT of the corners.

Exactly right and that was shown more clearly on some of the footage shown a few minutes ago. The times when Glenn’s car was out of shape was when Todd got the braking wrong. Its not very often these cars get pushed on the way out of corners but that’s what was happening in the majority (not all of it) of this contact and for that reason slightly different to what Rick has supposedly been guilty of. He more often then not gets it wrong going in and there is a big difference to what the out come might be in this situation.

It is for this reason I saw nothing wrong with what was essentially great entertainment even though I would have loved to see Glenn beat the HRT car.

I would've said - most delicately of course - that Todd's more experienced team-mate was fairly adept at it as well. I thought that it was a little bit outside what constitutes cricket, according to the old saying, and that Sunday's events saw a continuation of the same sort of carry-on.... with the appropriate response from the ivory tower for his involvement in today's shenanigans.

Still, it was fun while it lasted, and I must temper my response with the thought that I was disappointed tha Seto didn't beat Todd outright, with or without love taps.

Love that thinking!

I can see Glenn say before the next race-
"Hrmmm, I'm surrounded by 33 dick heads, I'd better pull over and park under that tree for a while..."

At his speed over the last few years, a good strategy I'd think ... concede me this - if you run the defensive line around the entire track you ARE GOING TO GET HIT, nothing surer.

i thought is was some of the best racing I've seen in years.....a bit of touching up is good for the sport
