To be fair to Martin, I was the observer on the exit of Redgate so I was an awful lot closer than him, and I didn't see it either as the Nissan was in the way.

I did see the smoke as they bundled through Hollywood, but they were long past me at that stage.

Highlight for me was the #33 recovery drive after spinning at Foggy's. That was a cracking piece of driving.

I was in the spectator banks just behind you and did see it - possibly due to being slightly higher and able to see over the Nissan. I did wonder if it was a clumsy team order at the time. At least you got a close up of the GT4 Nissan a few laps later - the infield grass and Redgate gravel trap didn't slow it down much.

Edited to add: I see than Minshaw & Keen were excluded from the results due to overtaking under yellows - does anyone know where this occurred as I've not had a chance to watch the TV coverage yet.

I think I also had observation overload, trying to watch all the cars at the same time is quite tricky!

The #53 prang was surprisingly big but the guys had it all mopped up inside 4 minutes. We were 'Team Goldilocks' at the weekend - not too many, not too few, but just right

I think it may have been between Coppice & Foggy's, when a car had pulled off on the right hand side. I vaguely recall hearing a radio call but didn't take a great deal of notice at the time as I had something else to report.

Interesting that the exclusion happened some time after the race. I know this is quite normal but I wonder if they would have been excluded if they had just "won " the Championship! Glad I am not a Steward!!!
