I don't think you can hear it on the video but several people were talking about how the carbon sounded, obviously you heard much more in person. As far as restarts as a fan at the track the last thing you want is a full coarse caution, and every restart we were in fear of another accident that would keep the cars from racing and take out more food drivers

Well so far I've seen about 5 different angles of this crash and this one is by far the best.. Thanks for uploading it!

Marco cannot keep the wheels on the ground :P

It is interesting to hear how loud the carbon fiber breaking up was on Marco's car when they flipped it right side up.

The St. Pete race was pretty good this year and in my opinion the double-file restarts were a success as they added a great deal of excitement around the course as the cars were bunched up. This incident was not a result of that rule change as race starts have always been 2-wide.
