phipck Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 It’s astounding nobody was seriously hurt! Testament to the safety standards enforced on participants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Indeed...... 20yrs ago the outcome would have been very different..... In this case the conditions were dire but i think there must have been something on the track simply because of the amount of cars crashing.

phipck Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I believe it was super dry and hot conditions so all donned slicks only for a sudden torrential downpour to flood this tricky part of the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I think they should have red flagged the race in reality... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phipck Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Within 15 seconds of the first 4 cars crashing the race was red flagged. I don’t know the layout of the track for locations of red flags or visibility in the rainy conditions but I dare say those following into the bend red flag or not probably didn’t have any chance, they were just in for the ride!

Tony Posted September 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Apparently it heavy rain but only one end of the track...... Explains the speed they were doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Wow, more than half the pack crashed out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
