Part 1 of what was a pretty chaotic MSVR event despite not feeling too bad in person. The Legends manage to put another car into a spectacular series of flips out of our sight but the main drama came from the Caterham 420R series with the second Caterham in 4 years to not only go up in flames in a very scary way, but to also set fire to the occupant inside! Duncan Greenaway climbing from the recently ignited Caterham not initially realizing it had set fire to his back too before fellow drivers Steve Riley and Ben Rowsell dragged him to the ground and put the fire out! Thankfully all 3 drivers standing back up shortly after the dramatic moment, but all 3 taken to hospital for checks which left the circuit without any ambulance and thus gave us a fairly large delay to sit through. Thankfully also not as bad as Dave Morgans crash here in 2020 that remains the only one we've never shown for being too harrowing to watch. The rest of the show was relatively calm. The Northern Sports & Saloons providing a very good first race and a particularly tail happy Subaru, the rest of the Caterhams were fairly behaved and would remain that way for the majority of the weekend, and I learned that the Production GTi Golf Championship actually still exists!

Just wanted to send some love to the person that makes these videos. So many events get lost and forgotten about

Cheers, that's one of the reasons they're here. And one of the reasons I've kept nearly every race I've ever filmed since about 2012. Lot of history thay I'd probably be able to upload if I could afford faster Internet speeds 😂

Poor response from the fire crews im sorry. Took them a minute to get there. Very lucky that wasn't worse!

Understaffed marshal wise I have been told but its not a unique issue and if I'm honest it is getting worse. God knows what it'll be like this weekend with the F1 on and big events at Mallory, Cadwell and Harewood to name a few. They're gonna have to do something about it soon because smaller events are gonna get squeezed out to the point where you'll lose them. Whether that's the country getting their finger out and finally deciding to actually throw some of the constantly rising cost that comes from a competitors pocket their way or some other scheme I don't know. But it's a little worrying now. There is simply too much on most weekends and some sort of incentive is gonna have to be offered

@PescaraProductions If thats the case then surely there is a point where it is dangerous to run events. And why is there a guy stood directly opposite it with a flag not going to help put either the car or driver out?

@timburton1080 25 күн бұрын

@@adamjackson3436 because everyone has a role defined in such an event, and warning ongoing cars was his. They don't know that there isn't a slow running car coming up at racing speed.

@adamjackson3436 25 күн бұрын

@timburton1080 If they can only spare 1 guy per post to wave the flag and nobody else to actually help out then I'd argue that's not the best place for an event to be ran under. I'm not knocking the guy if that's the job he has to do, but he should have someone with him surely?

@@adamjackson3436easy to stand and point fingers, but difficult to accurately comment on specifics unless you're there and know the reasons why decisions are made. There is a growing problem with getting marshals (particularly with experience) to staff events. Most hillclimbs I do will now have something in the entry form for competitors if they want to make a voluntary contribution to a marshal's fund, but guaranteeing payment is difficult when a lot of events are already so close to break even or running at a loss

Glad to see the drivers of the fiery Caterhams getting out relatively ok. But a very poor response for whatever reason by rescue teams, (and before I'm attacked, I am a competitor, I know they are usually brilliant etc etc) but whatever about a minute for the fire vehicle, 2 minutes before the ambulance (if it was one)is very poor. I fear it's one of the problems of modern circuits, car park sized gravel traps, not enough marshals who aren't allowed leave posts etc but it's a bit scary to see. On top of that, we've seen several incidents over the years (the afformentioned unshown shunt, the one at brands a couple of years back) with 7 style cars where they have been rear ended and gone on fire. More needs to be done around the fuel tank I think. On a lighter note, it's good to see neither driver added to their repair bills by using their on board, very expensive (and utterly useless in a real fire like that) fancy plumbed in extinguishers 😂

@PescaraProductions 25 күн бұрын

I can't be totally certain if it was ever addressed, but I watched a chap pass away there a few years ago after he came to a stop on the inside and succumbed to a heart attack, and I always wonder if anything could have been done had their been marshals on the inside of that corner. Perhaps that's unfair and playing devil's advocate, but the problem is the same. Not enough marshals and no real incentive to get them to show up. Not their fault, I frankly think the sport should give more back and should have started after the fatality at Brands years ago. The extortionate cost of motorsport really has to start giving back. And not going towards things like extensions of tracks in Spain🤔. I do wonder what Caterham can do if anything. I'm sure they'll work something out, this whole racing thing is their big earner I should think, but hard to engineer much when the car is so short at the rear. Probably not enough time to fire the onboard fire extinguisher and as you say maybe not much point. The one in my car points directly at my eyes so I know that wouldn't be much help either 😂

Remember seeing them start about 30 MK2's at Mallory Park when it was ran under 750MC and I think every car finished! All of the championships catering for cheap 80s cars are gone now though. Same with the MR2, E30 BMW and 924 Porsche series

@willknowler8194 Awesome little club at its height Track Attack was. And pretty affordable for its time. Tricolore Trophy, MR2 series and Nippon Challenge at their peak were great championships. Cost of national racing has almost entirely killed it off completely. The MR2 series didn't even die out through a lack of entries! From what I can work out it's last race was Mallory in 2017 with 18 cars on the grid

It happened 4 years ago at the old hairpin and it remains the only thing I've ever filmed that will never be seen (unless he asks me to) on this channel due to a graphical nature. Similar accident, fuel poured into the cockpit and the driver clambering out on fire. Worse than this one! Screaming in agony whilst rolling around on the ground. Put me off watching for the rest of the day. The driver recovered, went out and built another one and went back racing! Not sure what Caterham can do about it really without making the car bigger
