With the crashes at the Bathurst 12 hour in mind.

BTCC to introduce portable light flag marshal system to supplement the usual flag marshal system at BTCC tracks.

Good initiative...but if anyone thinks that any amount of lights or waved flags will reduce crashes...think again...on a racetrack, excreta occurs!

Exactly. The problem in that series is not the signalling, it's the amount of attention the drivers give to it. Just something else for them to ignore.

There are a number of cars out thru accident damage and/or lack of spares. Mainpoint has backed a couple of cars in the event, and one blew up, another crashed and the Cox evo is still percolating.

The 2 car Bestjet.com squad is out too.

Plus on-the-fly ride height changes for the lead BMWs and all Pulsars...

Nice to see Beric Lynton tried to help them (#42 BMW 135i) out with a spare engine but to no avail it seems.

Apparently you can get it through signing up to a 14 day free trial of the Foxnow app. That allows you to stream to 'your device' / computer. You can cancel at anytime after the event
