cdname47 in my defence it never made a sound 😂 ah well it's not the first I've missed and I doubt it'll be the last. at least everyone was alright. and cheers shall hopefully keep it up👍

miloudiben Unfortunately not many marshalls available for most test days, same goes for recover vehicles. Moves like the one the Clio driver made tend to be what gives Mallory the reputation of being a car killer. Just a massive error of judgement caused both .

miloudiben what amazed me was that a few months later that formula ford was back being driven on another test day here like nothing had ever happened!

Luckily I've not been on the receiving end. Formula Fords seem to be able to get resurrected very quickly! Merry Christmas!

miloudiben Bit more thought put into overtaking in vees I find. Unbelievable job. Merry Christmas to you too, and congrats on the championship 👍.

Thanks very much Pescara Productions!

If i'm honest i initially thought that the wheel was in the cockpit and the driver was gone. The tub did one hell of a job in this instance and whoever preps it have done well keeping it good nick to keep the driver in one piece.

Marshalls in general these days are usually "oh, ff sake, gotta do some work, damn", the fkn Ring is the worse, I think they are "retired" Sloths, LOL

Looks like a Chevron B8

Dug into the grass side on and the force of it just tore the panels clean off. Not seen one like that in a long time.

They stuffed these things into the scenery on a regular basis back in the day. Would be interesting to see if this car ever sees a track again

Most test sessions also don't have a marshall at each post, and in some cases no ambulance and recovery vehicle. Mallory has a fire car with an extinguisher in the boot. It rarely starts first time because its an ageing Rover. So yeah maybe during test sessions it really should be the rule.

Wow, thats quite a statement! Are you a “get the job done” driver then, or a wanabee spectator? Either way, I suggest you sign up and try a few days marshalling before making comments like that. If the mashals are “worthless”, then who’s going to “throw” the red flag then? I think Pescara hit the nail on the head - marshals cant do a damned thing if they are not present on a testing day. Nor can they do much if drivers ignore them anyway. Or would you want “professional” (i.e. paid) marshals; they would not be paid much above minimum wage unless entrants were willing to pay more for race entries (which would kill most series, which feed the upper levels of motorsport) and that would only attract folks with the skill and attitude of minimum wage earners! I’d prefer to have someone with the right attitude and skill to not go yanking people out of wrecks and inducing spinal injuries. People who want to do it because they love motorsport and may have even been competitors in the past and want to keep involved and give something back, not because “its a job” and they “need the money”. Or perhaps just dont bother with marshals at all, do all the flags with lights, and watch drivers decide whether to help a mashed colleague or race-on to get more points, ‘cos points make prizes (and thats higher up on most drivers priorities - “yes, I know its only got three wheels, is smoking like a bush fire, and laying oil everywhere, but I’ve GOT to get back to the pits”).

i'd have to ask what do you know about it ? done any racing or marshalling ? i dotn presume you havent but if you are skilled marshall enlighen us, i race so i know what goes into it and the respect that is needed

Dan Willars Marshal. BMMC, Silverstone and CSCC. I’d suggest you try it to see how “worthless” we are. Which series/formula do you race in?

@@andyowens5494 my comment was not aimed at you Andy but the one before, I know what goes into marshaling and have the upmost respect for marshals and the job they do, I race at club level and do my my best to respect and appreciate the Job you do, my reply was to the one above questioning your integrity I will defend it always
