Intriguing video on Youtube.
Anyone know what the event is and who entered the car?

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. Last edited by courageous; 10 Jun 2008 at 20:45. |

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.
