three corners into the season and a massive crash

looked like Kristensen got accross the track and was collected by three of fours cars

it was several HUGE impacts and Kristensen remains in the car

the race has been stopped for about 15 minutes now

for a moment it looked like he was going to get away with it but all of a sudden there was a massive explosion of debries and total chaos

looks like Kristensen is in the ambulance now

Susie Stoddart and Alexander Premat also involved and are out

Missed the crash...(trying to garden and watch BTCC and DTM) but from what I understand 3 / 4 drivers were taken to the med centre and all were talking.

Swap Hakkinen and Paffett round before Ekstrom gets too big a lead.

I saw it on youtube as well, as a result of curiosity. It looked very nasty indeed.

Stradlin, a point you made in the F1 forum about Hakkinen, Alesi and Frentzen not succeeding in DTM, or at least not in the way they did in F1. You must remember they left F1 for a reason. In the case of Alesi and Frentzen, not competitive enough, and the same for Hakkinen I guess.
