yes, you are right, the 69 is an evolution of the 70, it is lightter and better balance, we should asume that some changes where made to the 40, this cars are never exactly the same.

omfg, stupid stupid DP!!! man i hope Nick Ham is okay
this is a long race and to end it this early is very sad... they do have a chance of winning it. man..... devastating.
SS has a few months to build a entirely new car i guess, with lower weight and better balance....... but man this is SAD!

That DP driver needs to be thrown out of the series...absolute stupidity...he could have KILLED Nick Ham.
Still, congrats to Speedsource...its been a great year...too bad that some jackass DP driver had to end the season this way.

They said that driver has been told to go see the big man (forget his name) and the announcers said that he is gonna get a stern talking to. I sure hope so, I'd imagine that these guys have spotters to help them out and whatnot, what with the amount of dust covering the guys windows you'd think he'd want some help to make sure something like this wouldnt happen. Rookie mistake and its shown in spades.

Go Texas Longhorns!
RIP #70 car
Thank god Nick is ok, that crash was one of the worst I've ever scene in this series. That other driving is ******* idiot. Can Nick jump in the #69 car and run?
I touched that car a year ago at Sevenstock, this makes me want to cry.
