Footage from the first lap of this weekends WTCC Race. The 'event' happens at about 2 minutes if you want to skip through, but there's plenty of action before that point!

Saw this live, complete monkey, although that said the pit exit is after a blind bend, not ideal.

Should go back to the old rules, up till 3-4 years ago you had to be holding a super license to drive a safety car, maybe time to revert back to that!

All through that section yellow flags are being waved.. the driver of the BMW wasn't slowing down either so blame is not entirely on the saftey car driver although he should have used the pit lane exit length
