kristof14 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Intriguing video on Youtube.

Anyone know what the event is and who entered the car?

Thats a nasty crash, I have been trying to find out what that event is to. Interesting how the driver puts his hand up, is this to tell the marshals he is ok or apologizing for some reason.

Sorry I posted the wrong video, that's the big pileup at thruxton a couple of years ago.

I meant to post this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMSdyWG8rQo

It's a BMW GTR overtaking Giovanardi's Vectra at Silverstone.

Not that bad of a crash, more a case of potentially a disaster (imagine if they were in high powered GT cars rather than clios) - would imagine the driver needed a clean pair of overalls after seeing that lot in front of him.

corrected video looks more like a test session than a race - the other cars are doing all kind of wierd lines & the 2 main ones don't look like they are flooring it.

Is it possible for this to be moved back to the Touring Car section, I posted the wrong video?

I though it could be that although it's in October 2007 according to the description. I thought it might be the Britcar 24hrs but that was in september. Vauxhall holding driver assesments maybe?

I would guess it was a test sometime

Also the video may have been uploaded a while after it was actually taken

Most likely it was Gio's first test as champion. That was held at a general test day so it could be anyone in the BMW.

The Clio crash was at Thruxton in 2001/02-ish. John George ripped his sump open over the curbs at the chicane and the leaders were met with a huge oil slick. Despite some frantic flag waving then cars just kept coming and kept piling in. Something like 12 cars ended up in the heap. I was standing just to the left of where the first car hit.

Test day. I think this was the week or so after the last race at Thruxton in 2007. Matt Neal may well have been out testing too.

It's Peter Seldon in the GTR. I think that it was a BRDC test day.
