Craig Lowndes drives for DoDo Racing

XR6WGN · 06-08-2007, 07:34 PM

Yep it's true - it was on Today Tonight!!!! They ran a story here tonight on vehicle safety (again) and this time it was to do with the strength of the roof in vehicles during a rollover.

OK, it starts with a Ford Explorer on a rolling test bed, we see the damage from outside and inside and then we have a quick interview with Craig (in Vodaphone livery) re the strength of racing cars in a roll over. Then we cut to the Dodo car rolling over and over and some noddy woodduck making comment that Craig Lowndes got nothing more than a bruised knee - Huh!!!!!

Of course the story was made all the better with video from Formula 1, Carrera cup etc with vehicles rolling all over the place - I realise they have a point to make but Jeeze couldn't they do some homework first??

SNB05T · 06-08-2007, 07:58 PM

The bruised knee would be a reference to his HRT VS roll over at the end of the main straight at Calder all those years ago.

I didn't see the story, was it the Jason Richards roll over that they showed?

I thought he had to have knee reco. Craig was out of the car for a few months after that crash, from memory. Could be wrong though...

The sad thing is that there’s a probably large percentage of people that watch garbage like this and ACA and believe every word they say.

Quasi · 07-08-2007, 09:34 AM

Today Tonight equates to bull$hit anyway.

uranium_death · 07-08-2007, 09:52 AM

How about we treat TT and ACA with the same respect we treat Paris Hilton with, and close this thread too?

blueoval · 07-08-2007, 10:02 AM

this thread needs to be renamed instead of scaring the members.

XR06T · 07-08-2007, 10:55 AM
