For the most part, yesterdays race wasn't the typical roll off several hundred miles, stay in line and wait to see who's there at the end. They were getting 3 and 4 wide, beating and banging doors, bump drafting, blocking high and low, and moving like a freight train through the middle at 200mph. That's racing. You knew it was on by the second lap.
It was by far the best race I'd seen in years.

That was one lap out of a 1000k race - did you notice all the cars off along the way ? Somebody must have been racing.
If you took one lap out of sundays race , other than the crashes it is pretty much a better description of FTL.
All the cars going more or less the same speed in a straight track - not to say those guys can't drive, but without the crashes or knowing because there are a bunch of cars in a small space going fast it is very likely there will be - it is dull as , well watching someone bump draft or block (or argue about the merits of different forms of racing perhaps)
The early crash did make it a better race , but still way too long.
