Well... this is a bit different.
As I'm sure most of you are aware, MSV have put a new fence up on the outside of Paddock Hill and on the run up towards Druids that unfortunately blocks my old filming location, therefore I have had to move. I decided to give the main grandstand a go... Its much more difficult to film turn one, and obviously the view isn't as good, but on the bright side I can now see Druids and Clearways which is a huge bonus! I'll stick with it for a while and see how we get on.
As for the racing... chaotically brilliant. Such close, wheel to wheel action from all categories this weekend, just a shame we saw so much damage. The Fiesta Juniors clearly thought it was demolition weekend with only 9 of the 23 starters finishing race one; the other championships and the Formula Fords also saw their fair share of accidents. With close racing it really doesn't take much for it to all go wrong and I think this weekend those unlucky moments happened a few too many times... Now for a long winter of repairs for many people.

Your old angle scuppered by the new pushed back debris fencing up the hill... but it looks good from the stands!

Alot of action in this clip. And good viewing angles too, more of the track to be seen.

its sad really that they had to add the fence towards druids, but too removed the tree that made all of those videos and images have a real meaning about this track

Fiesta mechanics did hell of a great job putting back together almost all crashed cars for race 2. Out of all drivers involved on 1st shunt , only flame airikkala could not start race 2. The other one that missed race 2 was involved into another crash.

Maybe if the kids had to fix the cars themseles there might be less of this. Driving standards were disgraceful.

@@davyboy888 given the fact several Fiesta won't be part of 2024 series (coming of mk7 as headliner car) the drivers fought as there was not a tomorrow. This saturday there Will be trackday Championships in brands, and in latest two years there were start crashes. Hope that Rain will advise race direction to give Rolling start under SC. Does a race start under SC in case of Rain in GB?

@@nicopatrizi1953 Not as often as you might think. A couple of races this year for us have been started from a standing start with abysmal visibility - couldn't see from one side of the track to the other on the straights - for me the SC start is mostly about reducing the spray

Those tintops, particularly the Fiestas are a disgrace. What a sad sight to see driving standards so poor, I'm glad I'm not involved in any racing these days.

Has the standard of driving plummeted lately? Some of this was shocking. I went to British GT at Donington on Sunday too. Every single race had a yellow flag/ safety car incident, usually on the 1st lap.

Since most of those Fiesta Will be replaced by mk7 new models, drivers fought as there was not a tomorrow. But race One was really atrocious...banger racing at start. Those drivers should be grateful to their mechanics as almost all of the crashed Ford could rejoin for race 2. Most of the repaired Cars will anyway need a more complex TLC.
