that was fucking dangerous

can't believe that there was no warning along the straight before the corner. it's normal practice on the road in germany to put a warning triangle around the corner if you have an accident (i should know

)

big speed at that point on a track day with no ticket barrier to halt you along the main straight, so not surprised at the size of the accident. a roll cage can make things worse though, especially if flipping over as it stiffens the whole thing up and doesn't allow the energy to dissipate in deforming the structure.

I was amazed there were no cones to seperate slow cars filtering on from the cars coming down the straight flat out, never been like that when I have been there.

Speed differential could have been massive as that BMW could easily have been doing well over a buck fifty on the full straight!

When we were there last, the day after tourist action, the VLN series (if thats what it is called) were practicing. I don't recall many cones out, if ANY at the exit of the tolls. However, a reasonable car will easily be at over 100mph by the time start the left bend after the start bridge.

I did watch the whole vid, however, can't recall if we can confirm that cars were actually entering the track from the touris/VLN car park? They have a couple of extra entrances for industry and races.

Cheers
