I'll try, it will be in DVD format so I'll have to see if I can copy it to my computer. About what time did it happen? I haven't watched it yet.

ah, it was just a clip they showed of practice earlier in the week. it has nothing to do with race results. i think they segwayed to it with maybe about 15 or 20 min left in the race.

I got it xfered to the computer but it has no sound and I can't convert it to wmv, so I have a 30 seconds clip in MPEG format that is 26MB, amazing flight, those are sweet cars, glad it wasn't the 007 .

Great racing. These guys really know how to run a clean race unlike GrandAm.

those crazy brits! did they ever pinpoint what happened, more accurately than just "brake problems"?

if i remember from the telecast, he had mentioned that the brakes "bottomed out" if i recall. i assume that means the pedal went to the floor and essentially had no brakes. that must be a very scary thing to do in an aston martin. i also remember laughing because they had compared the distance of the aston martin's flight to the wright brother's initial flight

lol, that's funny

i was expecting something a little different - i bet the ass-puckerage for the driver was a 9/10 though
