WTCC Brands Hatch

What happened to the driver of the car who tried overtaking on the grass and caused the accident. I hope he got a massive bollocking from the stewards!

Ummm use your eyes, he was fully alongside into sheene so had the position yet the red car still turned in on him i put blame on the guy on the outside he gave absolutely no room and in a corner thats like that room should be given.

It's an absolute miracle no trackside marshall or spectator was killed there, watching this on the big screan was incredibly horrifying. I could tell the spectators around me felt the same.

You simply can't legislate for an accident like that and say that everything should be fenced. Motorsport is already on it's arse with tracks and events having no money, the cost of full perimeter fencing would likely be another nail in the coffin of several events and I don't think that any of us want to see that.

I see your point but I was just wondering about what the governing bodies will be thinking of, making perimiter fencing mandatory wasn't my real opinion of what should happen, just like I said, an OTT reaction by the FIA.

My actual opinion is that it was just a freak accident finishing in an area where you dont really get accidents of that nature and velocity, for which the instagator (i think it was Bravo) deserves at least a race ban for.

That was a very dangerous accident, but it will probably never happen again through that section because it was quite strange that they made contact on the straight after the corner. I think they both should have given eachother some more room because with driving like that they were asking for trouble.
