I'd really like the "highlights" to be about the racing not the crashes.

Motorsport isn't about watching people bin their cars

^ Majority is of the cars driving so I don't see a problem with it, definitely a part of Targa if you push past your limits.

The crashes bring home the reality of the sport and how big a set of balls you need to get out there and rip it up.

After seeing how hard these guys go & then driving these roads, under normal pace, there was only 1 phrase that comes to mind. Fuck that noise.

"Double caution, right 3 over crest" .... BANG!!!! No blame there for the codriver. Nothing wrong with the notes. Hopefully crews are ok. Not cool to see how easily the fibre glass skin peels off the viper although seems like the inner stayed intact. I'll stick to my steel doors thanks. Must have been a bit distracting for the evo crew.

I think crashes are a part of the game so need to be on the coverage. It is one of the most brutal forms of motorsport. But also like to see well executed driving as well. The aerial footage from tassie with cars blasting along and linking the turns is always a favorite.

Bit off topic but here is a taste if you havent seen it.

Best of luck all for the next couple of days.

Got no problem with showing the crashes at all but saying they are "highlights" I have the issue with.

No doubt about the balls needed to participate and well executed driving. Plan to participate in it one day.
