[Straight 8 Racing]

I'm not sure if Peter Brocks Death created as much of a stir in NZ as it did in Australia and I am also fairly sensitive to the whole "Kit Car" debate but I am fairly sure that he would have met the same fate driving any car. Some of the antagonists that are less than complimetary about our cars (Porsche drivers in particular) claim that he would have survived in a Porsche, I find this very hard to beleive, with or without the bar the effect of a side impact at 200k plus down to zero K in less than a second will always be the same..... My only querie is would the aditional bar work help in a roll situation ? Turn 1 at Eastern Creek has, for me, has an entry speed of 270K, if things go wrong there is a large area of kitty litter that is great if you enter going forewards, if you enter sideways then its only a matter of time untill you roll, we have tried to provide as much support to the front corner of the cage to help in the event of a roll but as Jac Mac points out your head is extreemly close to just about everything,
