Well aren't they responsible for track safety? If not then who else? Nice people as they may all be, the Clerk of the Course is in overall charge and where the buck stops.

it is interesting that they got through the tunnel, then the assembly area and then the marshals post at the end of the pit lane, I know the fun cup is a long event but had all of the pit lane Marshals fallen asleep?

other than trespassing (which is civil)I wonder if they actually broke any laws,

this could have serious repercussions for track security

imagine if some political idiot with an axe to grind decided to ruin races in the name of their god

i suspect it is going to get harder to get into the pits at a race track

i hope the idiot can be taught a serious lesson

There is another thread about this Paul http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... Don't know if you've seen it or not?

Glad you (& everybody else) were unharmed, hope these little oiks get what they deserve & the poor marshals etc don't cop the flack for it.

What a total idiot, he was very lucky not to cause a serious incident.

What happened afterwards, did he just drive off the track and out the gates ? I'm surprised there was no attempt to stop him.

The noise is our under tray dragging on the ground. You can also see our pit crew member holding me back from leaving and the marshals never spotted him. I wave at him at the end of the pit straight, then got passed him as quickly as I could as this is a fast section of track (paddock hill bend) with 25 car within a one mile track, the chance of an incident involving them could've been high, luckily for all we slowed down and were called to box within seconds for this plank getting onto the track.

Kevin, it would seem that the guy at the entrance to the paddocks had gone to the toilet, so these fools were able to drive straight in. When my wife and family arrived earlier they were quizzed as to what they were doing and with what team. This was, however more todo with parking space than safety.
They have arrested the lad on false imprisonment of the girl. On the basis that the girl would seem to have three brain cells, two of which are used to keep her eyes open, they have little chance of making that stick!!
Tony, if I was anywhere near this tit and heard the way he was talking to the marshals, he would have got the slap of his life!!!

Bloody lunatic, seriously dangerous given the speed difference of any race car and everyday road car, let alone with his stupidity factored in to the equation. My dad once told of how after a British GP in the early 80s at Silverstone he managed to get on to the track post race in his M535i, however he only made it to Stowe before they got the barriers out across the track.

In case anyone is interested, here's the chap: https://www.facebook.com/zac.copson?fref=browse_se...

He looks like a proper mouth-breather.

I'm actually rather amused because his relationship status says "single". His ex-girlfriend clearly has some sense in her laugh


But seriously, I didn't hear about it before, but I'm certain if I was one of the drivers I'd have hunted him down and introduced him to my fists. (I'm in no way a violent person, but what he did was just ridiculous. His parents should've used a damn condom).
