OMG - GT Crash at Oulton Park, MAJOR incident

[SharkmanBMW]

No one had rain tires and a flash storm hit.

The marshalls were very slow to throw the red flag after the first incident.......

The first two cars were teammates.
At about $1 million USD each, surely the the team owner had a breakdown!

Thankfully, no one was injured.

This is truly unbelievable.

That guy jumped over the blue car is amazing. super lucky.
Guess GT has not traction control.

Don't you love how it always gets sunny and nicer out after something horrible happens?

They do have traction control and depending on the club, they have abs. However, because it was a flash down pour they were not only running dry slicks but also probably had dry traction and abs programs going which allows wheel spin to an extent.

also the corner marshalls dont call the race.....its done by the "clerk of the course"

[The Bigfella]

I can't believe the lack of intrusion protection beside the drivers

That is a crash.
