Dallas Grand Prix 1984- Track Map[edit]

arrows on the circuit map show the circuit to run Clockwise, when in fact it ran anti-clockwise. There is video footage elsewhere on the web to prove this. 81.153.204.137 (talk) 16:04, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have asked the editor who created the map to fix it. Thanks for pointing out the error. DH85868993 (talk) 22:50, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. DH85868993 (talk) 17:02, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've found another error in the track map

Watch this onboard footage from the weekend and the last chicane of the lap is a right-left, where is the track map has it left-right. Ryan86 (talk) 18:20, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The map has now been corrected. DH85868993 (talk) 06:18, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mansell[edit]

If Mansell was classified sixth (thereby salvaging one championship point), it means that he collapsed after reaching the finish line, not before. (johnny-nemo@hotmail.co.uk.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.245.161 (talk) 11:40, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, he collapsed before the finish line. He was classified sixth because he had completed 64 laps sooner than Fabi and Winkelhock. DH85868993 (talk) 12:42, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
