Bad and dangerous behaviour in racing

[garycat]

Here's an example of dangerous driving after a pitstop, which resulted in a 5 minute stop & go penalty for the cars.

Can you think of other times where the red mist gets a bit too red?

No dangerous, just competitive.

Nah, there are far, far worse things than that going on. That was just a bit of intra-team horn-locking.

Disobeying a red flag and nearly running over a marshal seem like pretty dangerous things to me.

Yep I would say thats dangerous. Not as bad as this could be:

The pits at Thruxton during the British Gt race earlier this year. Comical, until you see the people everywhere...

That is hilarious! I liked how the Aston got hit twice by the CR Scuderia, no one seemed to care.

Glad no pit crew got squished in amongst all that bumping and barging! Why on earth are they allowed to double park like that? seems bizarre

ETA - 'Accident in the stands' is a bit of a missleading title when its in the pits I was half expecting a near spectator blood bath!

We (Chad Racing) hit someone in the pitlane chaos - the guy from Adam Wilcox's team wasn't quite fast enough leaping out of the way so Matt hit him, twice, and he rolled off the front of the 430. No harm done. You can just see Matt hitting a Viper at the end of the video too - he's the white 430 at the back of the concertina.

By the way 'stands' is the French term for 'pits' and MotorsTV is a French outfit, so there's been a minor translation glitch.

Thanks for the insight and clearing up the stands/pits translation

Did your driver recieve a penalty for hitting the pit crew? Did anyone else get penalised?

Or was it all hidden in the melee?

fking hell! Did the driver in the BMW think the Lambo was overtaking and carrying on past the SC? Can't see why else he would enter the corner at that speed when the SC was clearly in view

That really is the maddest thing I've seen in a while.

Although I love how huge the turbo on the BMW is!!
