This Has To Be One Of The Biggest Jump Starts In Motorsport History

Richard Mork started on pole position for the second V8 Utes race at Phillip Island last weekend but suffered a huge jump start. It was so big he had a lead of five seconds by the first lap!

Unsurprisingly, after gaining such an advantage, the stewards felt a five-second penalty wasn’t enough and he was handed a drive-through penalty.

Mork explained the jump start in a post on Facebook:

“Foot slipped off the clutch and had to keep going to get out of everyone’s way.”
