[Britcar David]

At approximately 9:45pm there was an incident during the Britcar 24hr race at Silverstone where a competing vehicle left the road and collided with another vehicle. A trackside marshal was struck during the incident.

The marshal in question has been transferred to Northampton Hospital with a suspected broken leg. They also have cuts and bruises but no life threatening injuries.

This statement was received by Britcar 24hr Ltd. via the BRSCC from Silverstone circuit Chief Medical Officer.

Well that explains the very long safety car period around that time, with ambulances on track I was worried that somebody was injured.
As always well done to the marshalls and I hope this one makes a speedy recovery

glad to hear that from car 28 GTF

We were in the paddock when the ambulances went out and speaking to a driver he said he saw the two cars that had collided with lots of medical staff in attendence.

I guess this explains it.

Best wishes to the marshall involved.

Indeed.

We were out at the Wing when the BMW span out at the same time and it wasn't untill we were on our way back through 'Deadman's pass' that we saw the incident just as the Ambulance was leaving.

All the best for a quick recovery.
