Did the Clios have a smashing time at Thruxton?
Discussion
I saw it from the pit wall. One car did half a lap pissing out oil, including the chicane and pit straight, next thing, one car piles into the barrier, followed by a group of about four more. After that, despite the flags being waved, a few other cars got seriously sideways trying to avoid hitting the already crashed ones.
It was an utter corker of a race, nothing surprising caused the 7DNF's, lots of cars of the grid down to a fast section to the complex, people just started bouncing off each other.
Took a walk around the paddock later in the afternoon and there were some really heavily damaged cars! Put on a great show as normal though

In Qualifying Derek Pierce ripped his sump off going over the chicane, resulting in 4 cars following each other into the barrier.
In Race One it was Robert Brown who did the same, and ironically his team mate Stefan Hodgetts was one of the casualties because of the oil that he left. Hodgetts DNF gifted Martin Byford with the title!
The pile up in race one was worse than qualifying. JHR drove all the way back to Sheffield with Robert Lawson's car and reshelled it overnight.
