That had to be a scary incident to deal with - how on earth do you safely get the drivers out of those 2 cars propped up against each other?! The slightest move from either driver and it could come crashing down injuring them or the marshals around them trying to help them. Shame the video doesn't continue so we can see how they did actually deal with it.

Hi Goosey and welcome to the madhouse!

Am guessing that you are up north as you say you're going to Croft, or are you just following the BTCC? If you can let us know we can help you with training and probably buddying up with an experienced marshal, and loads of other stuff too. I also have loads of videos of circuit incidents.

Hi, Welcome to the world of Marshalling!!

If you watch MotorsTV you will see plenty of Marshals at work on there.

Agreed, leave it there! There is no harm in reminding ALL Marshals that danger is just around the corner! (And you do not have a tree to protect you on a Race Track!!!)

You don't see it on the clip but later on he crawls out of the car but the guys on the scene have to pick him up and move him because of leaking fuel, which is quickly dampened down, exactly where he'd crawled out to.
I hope I never have to do that!

They took him to hospital but I don't know how he is now. He did crawl out so obviously wasn't too bad.
Whoa, insane crash - glad he made it out reasonably ok.

On a side-note, if that's the biggest crash you've seen in years, you've obviously missed this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=annnUk80r58

Yes, they both survived (incredibly enough).

We're moving a bit out of the 'marshals' arena here, folks, and remember we're not happy to link to fatal incidents. If someone can convince me the driver got out of that fireball I'll reinstate it, but otherwise it's deleted.

Videos of marshalling things OK in here, otherwise I guess Armchair Enthusiast is the place, but again, no nasties please.

OK, first thing they all are OK

http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?...h=star%20mazda

First lap of Star Mazda in Montreal. I was at 4A on flags (the last shot from behind the cars just before the incident was exactly my view, the TV camera was above my head!).

Reason for posting, well:

a) Those cars are strong, no serious injuries. Worst was 1 concussion.
b) Remarkable response from the marshals on the 3 corners involved, 4A and 6 backing up the marshals at 5
c) excellent response from the safety crews -- see how quickly rescue vehicles were there!!

The most increbible thing was, it took 1/2 hour to clean up (kudos to the tow trucks and kaboda crews), we ran a shortened race, and by the start of the next session were back on schedule. And that was a BIG mess....

Great Job by everyone

Besides, that's quite a rallying thing you've got there, a circuit you'll find is much different ...

quite right. There can't be too many circuits that have trees just inches off the tarmac...well, without armco guarding them anyway!

Could be! She seems to have got out the polish (see car top) to deal with this little scratch.

Real Marshals?

Are these real marshals? Or just a couple of boobs?

And I thought the driver was amazed at seeing four marshals squeezed onto post 24 at the start of the pit lane.

Golly, this is old! We must have filmed this at Brands Hatch about two years ago! Notice the careful editing from a wet actual race at Druids, damp at Surtees then suddenly dry on the Brabham Straight, and then an absence of any Pit crew along the Pit wall; However, well done, and only took a day (upto 8pm if I remember rightly, and possibly "stunt drivers".

ouch, that was quite a ride. Thought all stock cars had flaps to stop cars lifting off like that, or was it just one of those things where circumstances meant they didnt work in time?
