Evening Squires!

Blatently the fiesta pulls into the side of the focus and there was a blue flag up at the time to allow the faster car past, but instead the fiesta cuts across the track as he tries to pass another escort much easier to see on the telly though!

Well you see andy going down overtaking at 111mph on his right hand side you see the grass he had no where to go at all but had plent room passing him then you see the fiesta coming into him clearly watch motors tv & you will see this.he dosent hit the back of the fiesta or the side he clips the o/s/f when the car turned into him..

From motors tv program the focus is about to lap the fiesta again so it should have let focus through. Instead fiesta cuts across. Fiesta at fault!!

if you watch it in slow motion off the tv you can see the escort is well in front of the fiesta . if you watch just as the escort comes into view you will see that the fiesta isn't even gaining on the escort so why was he pulling over? and blue flag means caution faster car approaching, does not mean move over to let them through because chances are the faster driver has already planned his overtaking manouver

The blue flag was out which means faster car aproching do not move stay where you are & sit tight correct me if im wrong...now in front of the fiesta was a white escort cosworth which was a bit in front & there was just no way on this earth the fiesta was going to pass him & there wasnt a car in front of the escort so the blue flag could have only been to tell the fiesta faster car aprotching as the focus was doing 111mph the fiesta came into his line when he should have been staying put.hence the blue flag he should know this as he was the champion of his class.
Now for the ppl that voted the focus was at fault fair play everyone is entitled to their opinoin but can we hear your veiws please

Back on to topic please guys. Bear in mind the accusations made by certain people *ollie allens dad * of who was to blame. Lets see what everyone on here thinks.
