Geez you come out with some shit. How do we know the engine, gearbox, driveshafts hadn't shit themselves??? Thats right we don't. Instead you launch into a myriad of crap without knowing anything about the circumstances.

He had problems comming out of the turn before the curve-straight (Thats why he was over-taken so easily) ..... he could of pulled off there. There were heaps of places to get out of the way. But oh no .... Bowie is king dick and he can do what he wants, he has always been like that.

The yellow flags were out, so WTF was the Porsche guys doing. I wouldn't be putting the blame on Bowe...

Oh course not .... its never Bowes fault. His whole career he has blamed every incident he has had on another driver.
What does this say to everyone ..... if you have a problem with your car, leave it on the track so it can be hit by any other car. I have no time for Bowe, he should be kicked out of motorsport all-together

I have watched Bowe race for years and years.. hes a well respected aussie race driver, and I've rarely seen him do anything stupid. Not saying what he did today wasn't (I didn't see it so have no opinion about it), but hes always been a fair racer and loves his motorsport in all forms.
Just from the comments, im guessing you must be a biased Holden fan.

Sounds like your taking this from an anti-Bowe point of view. No need to look at the facts, that not only were the yellow flags out, but the yellow track warning lights were also on (I watched the video a few times to make sure). So please tell me what the fuck he was doing going down the inside of the other 2 cars???

Actually its because I met Bowe .....he certinally isint nice and an arrogant prick. I may be a Holden fan but at least when I met Dick Johnson he was great and signed autographs and talked with you ..... Bowie just shoves you out of the way.
I have seen him do a lot of stupid stuff on the track and I dont respect him one bit.

The driver was blind-sighted by the other car ..... how do you think he would see the yellow

Bowe should have been able to at least put it on the grass, but given they had done a couple of laps before the incident, they all knew the car was there. They tried to go 3 wide through a yellow flagged area. Sadly it's a result of rich guys with expensive cars who aren't professional racers. Look at the accident the day before, it all started because a couple of guys lost control just trying to avoid a slowly moving Tony Quinn.

Yes but the guy might have been in a shitty mood about something, and you caught him at a bad time.. these people are human after all. I've met Bowe a couple of times, and hes been happy to have a quick chat. Maybe you said something completely retarded.

I didnt realise "Can I have your autography Mr Bowe" is retarded.
At least when Brockie was having a real shit day, he still loved talking to his fans.

Im sure there were plenty of times when Brock didn't want to be bothered by fans. If you have a gripe against Bowe for not giving you a precious autograph so be it.. But to make sweeping statements like 'ban him from all motor sport' is childish and stupid in my opinion.

what i want to know is why were all 3 cars soooo far off the racing line? I mean they weren't even close. The blame is surely on those 3 and not Bowes car which was at least 10m from the natural racing line.

There would be a reason why he didnt see the yellow ..... then next minute his rival slows-down all of a sudden, what do you instinctively do .... get out of the way .... oh shit, some wanker has parked his car on the actual racing circuit and not got it out of the way.
If Bowe wasnt such a selfish prick, he would of got his car of the track and there would of been no yellows ..... cars have parked off the side heaps and racing continues (Just happened in Race 3 of the V8s).
All Bowes fault - he created the yellow situation by not doing the correct thing and removing your car from the actual racing track.

I didnt know it was a crime to not be on the racing line. Maybe the guy in front thought the accident was by the wall so he went to the other side and the cars folowed ..... remember it is a blind curve.

Its somewhat a crime if theres yellows out... you shouldnt be trying to pass. You just said "there would be reasons they didnt see it". wtf? on what 'fact' are you basing this statement? They have radio communication as well im guessing, surely they would have known back at the pits that there was an area under yellow.

You do what a yellow flag means don't you? There's a danger on the track, drive with caution and DO NOT pass. While it would have been preferable for Bowe to park his car on the grass he didn't actually break any rule, the other 3 dumbasses did. There was room for 4 cars to go side by side and still miss Bowes car. 100% the other guys fault for ignoring a yellow flag.

I would say they wernt trying to pass .....the front guy was proberly moving off the racing line just incase the accident is on the racing line on the curve up-ahead. The next guy was proberly just following him and the last maybe didnt get a radio call ...... radio calls fail all the time.
Thats the part I'm not trying to argue about. Its what a drive did to create this whole situation. Bowe was suppose to get the car off the track and not leave it in a blind area. He created the whole problem, therefore he is at fault.

You have made 2 assumptions here, firstly that the drivers don't know there is an area under yellow. Secondly that Bowe could move his car if he wanted to (which you have no way of really knowing what his circumstances were). Both of these assumptions are made on the basis that you don't like the guy because a) drove a Ford.. b) wouldnt sign an autograph for you.
Based off this.. he should be banned from all motor sport. Do you not see how this is a pretty silly thing to say?

bullshit it's a blind curve, do you even know the layout of the track? That is the one part of that part of the track where you can see at least 100m ahead of you. Look at Astros pics, you come out of T10 and it's dead straight, everyone sticks to the right and then after they pass where Bowes car they then start to go around the curve.
