Speedfest Brands Hatch - Corvette crash / fire

[markbigears]

Did anyone else here see that poor guys reaction to totalling his fantastic prepared, first time out, vette?
I’ve never seen a driver so distraught.
Can’t find any footage of the incident online or indeed any news about it.

This was it an hour before looking amazing:



By the time I went into the paddock to see the damage, he had packed away and left

He did indeed put the fire out himself.
Marshall’s were very slow to react on that one.
I was at paddock, so didn’t see what actually caused the crash, just the impact and fire.
Apparently the other vette was involved had historic importance. I couldn’t see the amount of damage to either cars from where I was sitting.
A fantastic day, just a shame about this particular accident, I hate seeing classics having a shunt.
Great racing oneball, see you next year!
