Other Motorsports (merged)

[Rui F. Martins]

SpeedSeries probably as they were also at last time 6 Hours of Spa.

It was other series, the speed series also came, but it was other series

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Ah the Radical Masters of course. The Speedseries look similar but have a different engine supplier (Honda?)

Those promised videos:

- The Škoda 120 LS, with black hoods, should have been that one I could drive. It was wise to not giving her to me, she's hell of a car - my boss drives her and he went off few times, ruining suspension -> you can see how he's jump around corners missing the apex&exit But by his own words, he enjoyed the race... He scratched off one set of tires, but for him it's not problem to buy new ones.

According to me, I have nothing else to add what isn't in the video's description. Problems with fuel, my mistake and then slowing down due to worries.

Is this series already running? Haven't heard anything about it after the first announcement.

Curious if motorsport will take off in India (hope so)

It was postponed for 2013.

A series in ME/Asia with former F1 drivers? Sounds like Speedcar Series, the stock car like series wich folded after its second season.

Hello why would a race director "Clerk of the Coarse" instruct 2 drivers via the Marshall possibly 10 Metres away travelling at 74 MPH heading towards barriers? In the enclosed URL you can see it unfolding.'The race organiser Clerk of the Coarse declered it a Slick Tire race so yes in the Image they both were running cold slick tires. What should the Race director of done to prevent a fatally and a serious injury which has ruined my lifé?
Any training in this subject please state Thank you very much Daniel Yellow Flag merans-
Great danger slow down considerably. Be prepared to suddenly change from the projected racing line or take other evasive action including stopping if necessary ,why an eart h would the Clerk of the Coarse instruct a track Marshall to give out those signalls or the ??No overtaking.As shown in the

Really? What happened?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Totally don't understand what this post is about to be honest. Also curious what happened

 

[Chris Butcher]

Looks like an interesting new form of spam to me

 

[Xosé Estrada]

The race director made a mistake declaring the race as dry, so therefore slick tyres were used.

Then he instructed the marshall to show yellow flag in that corner, but the marshall was too close (like 10 meters) to it and the drivers had no time to react, which caused an accident that lead to serious injuries with terrible consequences for him.

The picture shows the position of the marshal, the state of the track, and maybe the two cars right before the accident.

This is what I understand.

Greetings to all.....
I watched this documentry the other night and it is very good, as well as tragic. Look for it. I have Comcast and live "on" USA EST....on at 9pm tonight, Thurs. June 14. Network caled VELO, maybe short for Velocity It is on at 12mid, and tommorow at 4am, 9am, 5pm (Friday 15th)
It is all about the battle between Jaguar and Mercedes that indirectly led to this tragedy. Accounts say between 80 and 120 killed and/or injured. They have the footage of how it happened. It is really interesting. The way spectators gathered....well you really took your life in your hands. I was suprised to learn that some of these cars, 57 years ago were reaching speeds of just over 190 mph!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

It's a really impressive movie indeed

 

[Roger Snead]

Thats it. I am still stuck in a time warp. Why not just use the greatest invention ever....PC

 

[Mike Sterckx]

Thanks for sharing. I just watched it on dailymotion. The layout of that part of the track with pit-lane not separated was just a disaster waiting to happen.

 

[Rui F. Martins]

i had already heard and viewed pictures of this acident, but i've never seen the footage, i never thought the debris were projected so far away.

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

This is the kind of thing you don't really forget once you've seen it, which shows from the fact that people are still talking about it over half a century after it has happened. Then again, it is motorsport's greatest tragedy.

 

[Nik Hughes]

I watched on YouTube footage from reports not long after it happened, the reporting is so disengaged and lacking in emotion considering the tragedy that had happened!

 

[Kieron Swart]

Some more new video footage from a circuit near by..

Chris Kotze coming down the back straight when climbing on the brakes he noticed his brakes had failed...

Some Supercars and Fine Cars action from June 2012

Some Gti Challenge and Clubmans Racing action from Killarney Raceway.

Do enjoy and post comments if you guys want to see more improvements in some places and just let me know

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Saw it on TV a while back, great doc.

Man it can´t have been fun standing on the grandstand opposite the pits and see a flying mercedes cutting of peoples heads. And eventually your own..

 

[David Jundt]

The reason circuit racing in Switzerland is banned.

It's this crash.

 

[Kol Bailey]
