Stupidity beyond words. These "gangsters" thought it would be great to drive his girlfriends car onto a live track!!!! The scream the girl lets out as they are driving down the pit lane, is me almost driving into the side of them as I'm released from a pit stop, only stopped by the quick thinking of my pit crew!!! They then drive all the way around, ruined the end of a good race for everyone. Complete muppets, really hope Brands prosecutes based on the evidence on their video!!

We started 21st up to 8th dropped to 13th finish 11th out of 25 cars. Good day till these prats turned up and had to call a halt to proceedings. They tried to re-grid and finish with a ten minute sprint, ended in red flag due to carnage into Druids and that was the end of that. A story to tell though!!

I'm afraid its real, couldn't believe it as I followed this clown out of the pit, my car passes in shot before he drops the camera. It's on YouTube, quite how he got through the scrutineering garage I'm not sure, pretty sure we'll see a tightening of paddock access, real shame for everyone else who gets to see the goings on behind a working pit garage. I feel these clowns (I've got their number btw) need to be made an example of, to stop other morons thinking it's a good idea!! It will be a civil matter, if Brands decide to prosecute and it will be trespassing and endangerment of life as they clearly intended to join a live race track. No one had ever seen anything like it. The kids currently have the media at their front door asking about the incident. This will rumble on for a while..........

Bet nothing happens to them
You might be correct, but based on their own posted video, its clear it was deliberate. I can tell you there were about seventy odd drivers who were ready to dish out their own punishment. Rude and aggressive was the description give by the Marshall who stopped them, only wish I was there!!!!

+1 but having just looked at the MSA track operator licence rules the Clerk of the Course is in serious crap.
Hope not, he's a really nice guy, seems the marshal checking people going to the paddock had gone to the toilet!!!

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!!!

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.
He was stopped in Parc Ferme by the marshals who he got abusive and very aggressive with appently.
