Did anyone catch this on the telly or see it at the circuit? Kelvin Burt, coming out of Seagrave by the looks of it, tipped into a barrel roll and vaulted the barrier, coming to rest on the other side eek

Thankfully no-one was hurt, although looked as though Kelvin was taken to the medical centre for a check-up (not surprising, given the circumstances).

Considering recent talk about spectator safety on another thread I'm glad that it's as good as it is but I think it should continue to be monitored.

Anyone standing in that position gets no criticism from me, they do it for the love of the sport, which wouldn't run if they weren't there.

These people are standing in the firing line, even at the top level, lest we forget it was only just over 5 years ago that we lost two marshalls in F1 races.

Anyone that feels the need to sit back and criticise has the opportunity to join a Marshalls' club, participate and see for themselves. I've done it and even the slightest experience opens your eyes.
