  V8 SUPERCARS: Winterbottom's car trashed by steel drain grate.
Orrcon Racing's Mark Winterbottom was forced to sit out the second and third V8 Supercar races at Shanghai today [Sunday] after a bizarre incident in the opening race.
The most frightening part for Winterbottom and the Larkham-Orrcon team is the fact that as the car travelled across the upturned grate it cut through the floor tray impacting with the bottom and rear of the driver's seat before gauging a hole immediately behind the seat.
Event organisers meanwhile increased the safety overnight on the area of the circuit where the incident took place by covering the drain grates with a row of tyre barriers on the edge of the circuit and have also indicated that the drains may be filled with concrete for future events.
