Thats very sad that that happened!
The fans on the top of the hill are all responsible for what happened there, and I would really hate to be the one who has to clean up the mess tomorrow morning.

But it does show the slightly differnt designs of the two cars.
The Holdens draw air both from above and below the splitter, so when the splitter got clogged with the bags, there was still enough air flow to keep the engine cool enough for it to run.
The Ford however only draws air throught the splitter. So when it clogged buy buy V8. But it was only lowndes, I dont like the little prick, he's far to imature, and has ruined to potential race wins for Greg Murphy by making very simply and stupid mistakes. (like parking the car in a wall)


However the amount of "bag" puns the commentator was able to come up with did add a level of humor to the end of the race.
