After a crash-marred day on the Surfers Paradise streets yesterday, the V8 Supercars Championship field will be minus three cars for today’s second leg of the Armor All Gold Coast 600.
Tony D’Alberto/Vitantonio Liuzzi, Karl Reindler/Franck Montagny and Greg Ritter/Ricky Taylor will all be missing in action after their cars sustained damaged deemed too extensive to repair.
D’Alberto/Liuzzi’s Team Hiflex Falcon and Ritter/Taylor’s Commodore both received big damage in the first attempted race start yesterday, with Taylor rolling his #33 Fujitsu Racing entry in spectacular fashion.
The #11 Fair Dinkum Sheds entry had the front left wheel ripped off it in the second start after another start line crash.
