This isn't really going to make the OP feel any better. But its worth adding if someone can confirm it.
I was at the meeting (competing) but missed that race... From what I heard, the car that dropped it into the gravel had indeed gone off earlier in the race at the same spot... but the second time he did it, he actually managed to avoid the gravel initially, only to then beach it properly by reversing the car into the gravel accidentally when trying to get away again. Nice one.
I did however see another race earlier in the day suffer another strange red flag. From what I could see, a car went backwards into the gravel at Druids, the marshalls yellow flagged for 2 laps, then withdrew the yellows for 1 clear lap, then brought out the reds at 75% distance. No other incidents in sight. It seemed distinctly fishy.
Please understand that this is just what I heard and saw... nothing more. If there were genuine reasons behind either of these decisions then I stand corrected.
