  :: ALLAN SIMONSEN - PROFESSIONAL RACE CAR DRIVER ::
Simonsen and team mate Richard Lyons were sitting comfortably in 4th place behind the James Courtney/Glenn Seton Falcon when the debris became caught on the front of the #88 racer during lap 130, causing engine temperatures to skyrocket, which in turn forced their Team Betta Electrical Ford Falcon V8 Supercar to pit.
In an ironic twist to the weekend, Allan had picked up the local Saturday newspaper, the Western Advocate, to find an article on the 'Dangers of Debris' at Bathurst with an accompanying photo showing Allan coming along Skyline in car 88 with a plastic bag wafting nearby.
Following the unscheduled pitstop, Simonsen managed to move back up in the field to eventually finish 12th outright, in an event that was littered with damaged race cars.

Simonsen, the 1977 European Footballer of the Year, took charge of Luxembourg in November last year after an eight-year spell in charge of the Faroe Islands left him well versed in working with a lesser nation.
Simonsen felt a losing mentality was endemic to Luxembourg's players so discarded a number of older heads in favour of young hopefuls hungry to reverse a losing streak in UEFA European Championship qualifying matches which stretched to 25 matches with last month's 7-0 home defeat by Romania.
Simonsen is keen to foster further positive relations with Luxembourg's clubs, who were critical of former coach Phillip's insistence that players gathered for international duty two or three weeks before a game.

Allan Simonsen was left to rue a wrong tyre choice as the wet conditions at Croft prevented the United Christian Broadcasters team from securing a strong double finish in the latest round of the British GT championship.
The Danish driver, and team-mate Hector Lester, had finished second in the opening race of the weekend on Saturday afternoon after Simonsen took advantage of damp conditions and a safety car period to work his way up from the mid-field and expectations were high of a repeat in Sunday's second race.
Starting from the front row of the grid alongside the Tech 9 Porsche, Simonsen was then left to rue the decision as the cars headed down to Clervaux for the first time.

From being on the verge of withdrawing from international competition, the Faroes regrouped - but then came a disappointing end to their USA 94 World Cup qualifying campaign and their long-serving coach, Pall Gudlaugsson, resigned and was replaced in 1994 by the Danish legend, Allan Simonsen, formerly a star with Borussia Mönchengladbach and Barcelona.
In six years under the diminutive Simonsen, now 47 years old, the Faroe Islands have thrived to the extent that they can no longer be described as whipping boys and are regularly achieving creditable results against Europe's so-called bigger fish.
Simonsen is delighted, particularly with a more attacking style and the fortitude his players are displaying.
