Interesting debate, just wanted to add one instruction, one opinion, and one observation:
1a) Weeksy do not add anything to this debate. PLEASE leave it, move on nothing to see here.
1b) Geoff would have won even if he was riding the duck- tape SS

Some of you may have missed the course commentator’s commentary, - think it was on your warm up lap, but he seemed to know Geoff, and mentioned a 47.something lap. From my (photographers) point of view I could not pan the camera at the right matched speed to get a good photo of him.
1c) The buzz and smiles around the paddock were great please don't spoil it, opinions are great and Nick and Kev (to name just 2 have posted some good points) but the post that contained the word "shallow" I have removed, - not on.
As Chris said the DDRC will be debating the subject (never a dull moment).
