I guess someone got angry, then all the work wound up for nothing .. I will not reveal the end but it's pretty obvious

What club was that? Remind me never to run with them. Were the corner workers asleep at that last corner?

Looks to me as if the first collision left plenty of fluid on the track and both cars lost traction as they drove over it.

The guy that was already off when these two went off was lucky that they didn't hit him.

This is an excellent example of why we should run with our windows 100% down. Can you imagine being in that situation and having a zillion pieces of glass explode right next to your face/helmet?

I guess driver's window down isn't a requirement in the UK, or at least at this particular venue, with this particular racing organization.
