It was the second session of WTCC qualifying at the Salzburgring where slipstreaming is important. Everyone was waiting in the pits for someone else to leave so they could get a slipstream. Tom Chilton decided to leave, 9 cars followed him out but no-one wanted to go into the final hot lap at the front so they all slowed down to about 50km/h.

James Nash tried to get through but was held up by the slow pack, same with Tom Coronel who put his foot down at the end of the lap but it was all too late as the time had run out.

In the end, I think 11 of the top 12 drivers got fines and big grid drops (ranging from 12 to 24 places) for pissing about and putting on a rubbish show for the fans. Some of the guys were stupid enough to not even set a time as they were so insistent on getting a tow.

OK, what confused me was the fact that they don't even make it to the line before the checkered flag.

Just a heads up. There is a special going on in racecar-engineering.com where you can donwload an F1 document from 90s for free:
http://www.racecar-engineering ... ng-edge-f1-free-download/
The document is called Cutting Edge F1 and it is possible it is in youtube. The download is almost 2gigs so downloading might still give better image quality.

Well, both the guardrail and the caged Civic are quite rigid, so it looks like GTs pinball physics. Still wondering how he managed to lose the car at that spot as its pretty straight, maybe the brake bias was too much on the rear.

He got his right rear on the grass and lost it. If you say that part of the track is pretty straight, why would he be braking there? Or at least why would he be braking hard enough to lock up the rears?

for next corner obviously. You use the compression at the bottom of Fuchsröhre to help braking. If you start braking at the crest, more or less the point where he first hit the guardrail, the chances to lose your car would be a lot higher. But maybe you are right, and he touched the grass or just the slippery curb down there.

Thanks, looked interesting enough to make me go through the sign up process
