I’ve been rather unwell this week and haven’t undocked. I am not likely to be able to rectify that this weekend as I’ll be busy watching all the TV coverage for the Bathurst 1000 race. I’ve been fascinated by this particular race and watched it religiously since I was around 10. It is the only weekend of the year that I can ignore (almost) all my responsibilities.
There was an accident today during qualifying where last years winner turned in a fraction of a second too early and ended up with a broken car, leg and wrist. You can see video of it here:

The track and race is phenomenal – it requires such fearlessness from the drivers and centimetre perfect precision for some 161 laps and 1,000km. When they don’t get it perfect the track can sometimes, as it did today, make them pay dearly.
EVE drama doesn’t come close.
