Yes..don't know what year, but we were at that spot. At night. Almost a hairpin left. Couldn't make the corner after losing his brakes, straight on were big trees and so he decided to take the junction right straight into the spectators there. But most people got really lucky there, only one men broke his leg I believe.

RIP...The problem with spectators on such places is that on asphalt it's extremely easy to underestimate the danger. Most of the cars just brake and turn without any sign of crisis, all look so natural but crisis on asphalt usually come out of a sudden. Unfortunately people don't have much respect for authorities and often think they know everything better. Originally Posted by MartijnS
