WTF that's madness!

Jeff123 · 11-16-2017, 04:13 AM

Its a good thing that he jumped out of his own car and got across the barrier.

Russbmw · 11-16-2017, 04:43 AM

Saw this on facebook. What a fucking mess.

Somehow, some people were saying it was the guy with the camera's fault for stopping!? Can't see it myself.

Never saw anything as bad as that when I used to go. I bet it's greasy as sin this time of year, and it's like an ice rink.

mikeoz · 11-16-2017, 07:46 AM

Yep I've never had a warm fuzzy feeling when driving round it.. if this was UK Health and safety would have closed it yrs ago.

The lesson here is to park past the accident. Road or track.

TouringPleb · 11-16-2017, 08:34 AM

Looks like a RTC I dealt with once.. foggy, damp, dark, rush hour. They just kept on coming!

Ajs_435d · 11-16-2017, 08:40 AM

Seen this on facefuk.

Not sure if the guy was to blame his heart is the right place trying to stop further accidents and warn people.

I know at croft they won't allow normal coolant, I was with my dad at Silverstone earlier in the year and they weren't fussed when we were on the track.

JustChris · 11-16-2017, 09:21 AM

Feck that's mental. That last one you see hitting the car pulled over to the left FFS.

Bibbles · 11-16-2017, 09:42 AM

I wonder how many insurance claims were made on the road just outside the ring that day?

mikeoz · 11-16-2017, 10:38 AM

That guy sounds Dutch to me...

German cars are covered I understand so perhaps not as many as you think.

The issue with the ring is that there is so few marshals and marshals posts combined with relatively poorly sighted bends that incidents like this are inevitable.

I will still go, but I've decided only to proper closed track days.

Ads4 · 11-16-2017, 11:20 AM

Awful. Been there many times for tourist days and track days, never seen anything like that thank god!

He’s German. First time he speaks he asks if someone has phoned it in, second time he says “behind the barrier”

225 · 11-16-2017, 04:04 PM

Can't blame him! He did well going behind the barrier and you can just see how easy pile ups happen.

If I'm being honest, there were a whole lot of people who couldn't stop sensibly. 2 cars out of how many actually managed to stop, and the guy in the e30 wasn't hanging about either.

Looks like a classic case of lots of people in fast cars running out of talent. I mean, how the fuck did the porsche get it so wrong to end up piling in backwards.

MarkG_M5Comp · 11-16-2017, 04:18 PM

Have a look at this perspective - it does look like the major incident occurred after the German guy stopped.

Besides, he stopped on the outside of the bend so any car unable to stop in time was bound to hit him.

Part of me thinks if he'd driven on, the incident would have been less serious - why do so many people seem to get out of their cars on the ring?! Mad.

Russbmw · 11-16-2017, 04:27 PM

Blimey, he was lucky to get out unscathed.

To be fair, it all went Pete Tong with the 2 cars that came in hot around 45 secs into the clip. They were nowhere near his car, and lost control further down, which looked to be what started blocking the road.

I think maybe there was coolant or oil spilled on the road from the original incident.
