Similar to Webber at the weekend. Scary stuff although you can see why you aren't allowed that close to the track nowadays!
James is looking for the next trackday...

Two thoughts:

1/ I wouldn't want to be doing his laundry

2/ Can I have a parachute please

Good to see him walk away from it :thumbs:

Yeah...

That was a mess..

There are other video's up so you can see it from other cars point of view.. Pretty horrific, had it been a few feet further forward it would have been a different story.. :frown:

I think Formula Palmer Audi have those silly 'push to pass' buttons where they gain extra horsepower by using the 'overboost' button. Don't know if this driver was using that but he was certainly closing fast. The other driver was naughty for weaving like that too even though you are allowed one change of direction. It's very similar to Webber's accident. I think once my brain had stopped rattling in my skull I'd be having words with the other driver.
