Looked like such an innocuous tap too, whilst moving out of the way for the faster car coming up behind. Pity the Seat driver didn't look in both mirrors before moving over.

Ouch, yeah just a tap. Wouldn't fancy being airborne like that.

Anyone know how the driver was after that? Its hard to tell from the accident, like McNish at Le Mans, looked aweful but he walked away relatively fine.

But this is racing, where overtaking is not on a particular side, and those who overtake take their chances.flimper wrote:Bloody nora, that's the sort of thing that puts me off having a go at the 'ring
I've seen races at the 'Ring where they've been 4 abreast and all overtaking one another due to different race classes.

If the seat driver was pulling out of the way for the car behind he should of ideally pulled off the racing line, not gone further towards the apex, but I suppose these things happen. Not nice to watch, I would say that prob looked worse than the mcnish crash.

I just got back from the race guys with sixspeed.
Didnt see this crash but I saw it on youtube last night, was gutted as that Z sounded amazing, it was running in the top 5 for most of the race before this. Up with the Porsche and BMW that eventually won the race.
And dont be put off by the ring, this crash was crazy as it was early in the morning and most of the drivers had been in the car for quite some time at this point.
Did anyone else make it to the n24.
Spa 24hr race in two weeks, anyone going???
