I was in the commentary box with Dave Goddard when that happened. Tried so hard to stay quiet but couldn't when the car started to roll, was so glad the driver was unhurt
Just for the record, the description makes it sound like I drove into the Mini. All of us except the yellow Audi braked because we could see the MG spinning, the Audi stoved into Tyler Lidsey's Clio which pushed him into me, sent me sideways and across the path of Thompson in the Mini who did take to the grass to avoid me but it was unavoidable. Tyler then got spat across the path of Peter Felix in the Golf R who both collided. 1 person spinning and another not paying attention ultimately caused a lot of damage. Should have been 2 warm up laps given the cold conditions, Clerk of the Course should have listened to the suggestions put forwards BEFORE the race which would have possibly prevented a spin on cold tyres. But what's done is done. Ultimately I enjoyed the day still 👍🏼
Pescara Productions thanks mate appreciate it :-) yep just watched my video and he was hit from the white Bug. Uploading as we speak and watch the carnage unfold haha. Cool footage on this video though. Mike in the Integra saw his life flash before his eyes when the Golf R rolled in front of him!!
No worries, the more I know the better haha. Yea his reactions inside the car speak for themself, one lucky guy! Have seen onboard from Joe's mini and you can hardly see whats unfolding in front due to the low sun.
Pescara Productions yeah the sun was unreal all day. I've put a tinted visor on my list of stuff to buy!! If Joe uploads it can you let me know please? Would be interested to see it. I can see the he took to the grass to avoid me, no love lost there but a 600kg mini is never going to stand much of a chance against 1450kg of German build quality 😐
i will say hi next time me and me dad was at the hair pin but now know what happend so ty for the footage

Description changed dude👍🏼Lad driving the MG believes he was hit, not too sure what happened myself, too much going on for my eyes.

Ok just seen the roll.. that was unexpected and spectacular looked like a relatively easy rebuild though
