Ouch. That was one of the worst crashes I've ever seen at Cadwell and the total lack of run off at that point is a real eye-opener.

No bloody gloves either! What a tool!

Looked a bit optomistic trying to pass there anyway ! didn't look like there was enough room, both very lucky to walk away.....

The driver of the white golf chose not wear any gloves.. I find that mental, good job its mandatory from 2012 in the blue book. If his hands were on fire he would have had major dificulty getting out of his harnesses.

Especially as the fire then came pouring through the window.

I've sent this to many drivers I know that don't wear gloves, I didn't actually know they were to be made mandatory next year but it's about time.

There some photos floating around on CGTI/Golf GTI Racing of Pete's (black one), the A-Pillar roll cage post ended up near the clutch pedal.
