These are the kind of incidents that cased procedure changes, and why you don't see marshals on the track under just yellow flags. Also why drivers are instructed to stay in the car until a SC is deployed in these situations.
I was a marshall at the first race at Oulton Park, a bit further around the circuit, the rain came from nowhere and it was chaos all around the track. I knew the lad who got hit in the clip, he became something of a celebrity thanks to that incident!
@@rns.motorsports it’s great fun, and a pleasure to get involved in the sport I love so much. I recommend anyone who loves motorsport to give it a try! Fun, rewarding, and vital to the events.
@@CostanTheOne a similar thing happened in the F3 race earlier, causing chaos at Lodge where I was. As we were checking on the seven or eight cars in the gravel, I helped a guy called Narain Karthikeyan! ‘Mate, I don’t get your weather!’ He laughed. ‘Neither do we!’ I shrugged!!!
The race at 10:45 was not a points race. It was simply an exhibition race, so the officials allowed the drivers who crashed to use their spare vehicles (the only time in NASCAR history this was allowed). Gordon ended up winning.
I think the rain is one of the best challenges for racers to tackle upon as it gives a more insight on how to control your speed and understand how much of your tires would grip on the wet roads. Along with drastically changing your current racing lines and develop a new one for wet roads.
@@acreativename7999 Aquaplaning, the worst thing to happen to cars when racing. Also, that first crash WAS a segment from Dumbest Stuff on Wheels - the shuffleboarding-themed segment
What I never understand is that sure the first drivers arriving at the spot can be surprised by sudden slippery, but what then everyone else plowing into the same point.
Unless there is clear indication by flags, it is just as surprising for the ones following. One of these clips, around 4:40 shows a car crashing at high speed at least 5 seconds after a red flag is waved. That is very questionable as drivers should always pay attention to flags.
9:35 They're on a stretch of highway, you can see the signs and everything. A very unusual track. Also the commentator really likes to emphasis words all the time.
'Best' is not the right word to describe in the title mate. That's like having a compilation of footage from the twin towers on 9/11 and saying here are the best bits. Its a dangerous situation in both events.

The amount of marshals and drivers running onto tracks while it's obvious everyone is aquaplaning is just ridiculous
Agreed!!!!!

Just want to say thanks for deciding to be a marshal so we can all safely enjoy racing!

That is british weather for you

Was he relatively ok afterwards? If so, please tell me someone bought him a beer
Spa is the king of bad weather, I remember when it started snowing
This comment aged well...
@@joostinatortje at least it didn't snow... yet
1:00 Man I just love how those Marcos racecars looked. They looked modern and a bit retro at the same time.
Aged amazingly well too.
That car is sexy, let's not mince words.
4:36 when your drunk mates come to pick you up
Looks like a Forza Multi-player lobby!

The craziest all star race ever
Yea
So, does a full course caution mean to continue driving at full speed to piledrive into other vehicles?
Yes exactly
There always seems to be someone who arrives at full speed oblivious to the danger
3:00 - "Status Grand Prix"
Well, I guess it is somewhat informative.

Dude!!!! Stay in your car and don't come on the track when the crash is ongoing!!!
4:33
Amazing recreation of the Blues Brothers
That first crash definitely looked like a segment from Dumbest Stuff on Wheels
High horsepower difficult cars + the track practically flooding = absolute chaos and destruction

To finish first you need to finish first. Always!
For chaos.
Just add water.
why brake when you can ram? 7:00
The 2020 Xfinity Roval race deserved a spot in this video. They raced in a literal monsoon.
You would be able to add 2021 Nascar Cup race at COTA to this now
2:50 I'm sorry is that debatable to stay on Slicks? That's mental
I'm assuming, and I could well be wrong, that they were hoping for a red flag?
@@sidsc19 Indeed.
And it did work out, as Wickens won the race
What’s the name of the series in the first clip?
British GT
@@HydroKestrel Thank You!!
I think the 2019 Paris ePrix could fit here.
Noobs on rain are always the best
Lmao 😂

You have never put your ass in a race car even not in a go kart.. That's why you don't understand bro' ✌️

When Mother Nature decides that the race is too boring....
What crash was 4:32?
Where is the most one form Grand Prix Europe 2007?
Spa 98
9:35 They're on a stretch of highway, you can see the signs and everything. A very unusual track. Also the commentator really likes to emphasis words all the time.
Yeah, where is that actually ?
@@mcbeaulieu It's AVUS track I think
@@Tito8oznia i think it's not .. avus is already closed
Who is the commentator at 10:10 ? the voice sounds familiar but i cant think of the name
🚘👈😂🤪😂👍
Who´s here after the iRacing update?
9:35 name series? place and year?
2015, Eneos 1000 KM, Palanga circuit, Lithuania. It's a one-off race so doesn't belong to a championship
Was that will Buxton in gp3?
You should have included IMSA 2015 at Watkins glen and the continental tire sport car challenge from 2013 also at Watkins glen
When was the first crash
What track is that at 10:00?
What the track at 7:16
U missed the 2007 Nurburgring gp from formula 1
No 2007 F1 Nurburgring?!
Just staying Copyright safe with FOM, even though Liberty Media is behaving better in that regard than the previous owners
The 1st one seems so violent.
Owww you forgot the F1 crash in Spa in I think it was '98
6:50 That music is just perfect for this video xD
Someone's trying BeamNG in real life
"Drive according to conditions" says a sign on the highway near me. They could do with a rethink.
Nice timing RUclips recommendation
Not the video I was expecting, this is mad
4:35 It looks like a video game
shame this wasnt uploaded later as in closer to now - you couldve had landos crash at spa or the formula e chaos at seoul
formula e NYC 2022
9:34 lol at the guy on the left doing a crazy dance routine
Like lemmings headed for a cliff?
what event is 10:00?
Eneos 1000 km, Palanga Circuit
where is the first track
Oulton Park, UK (British GT)

It’s RUclips. No one’s interested in processions of cars going round and round and round interminably - only crashes.
