ON THIS DAY: March 27

As the motorsport world pauses amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, delve into the Speedcafe.com archives and rediscover the biggest stories over the past decade.

These are some of the stories which had us talking, and have gone on to help shape our sport.

Today, opinions were divided over the 2018 Albert Park Supercars race that finished in dark and gloomy conditions.

The scheduling of the Saturday race, compounded by a red flag in the Formula 1 qualifying session, saw the event run into fading light with a late heavy rain shower.



Garth Tander, who ran into trouble in the pitlane, stated that it was too dark while Triple Eight boss Roland Dane believed that it was right on the edge of being acceptable.

Scott Pye emerged victorious in the deteriorating conditions.
