I remember this and yes he should have stayed still as the track needed to be shut down cleaned and re-glued. which took around 30mins so alot of fooked off people waiting to do runs. Just pure ignorance really.

To be fair to the guy driving, its not like they have a big sign that says
"IN CASE OF BREAK DOWN OR SPIN REMAIN STATIONARY UNTIL INSTRUCTED BY STAFF"
Is it...

Should be common sense for a bloke into cars though!! What if it was oil? Should be bloody obvious to not risk spreading anything on the track!!DanThe wrote:To be fair to the guy driving, its not like they have a big sign that says

Oil was just an example! Any fluid on the track will mean track closure!

Why would they be laughing. It was an engine failure not driver error and he just did an epic save. Sitting there and waiting to be recovered is the correct choice and people watching should know that.penton08 wrote:In fairness to Kerrie (the driver) i would do exactly the same, fook sitting there with a 1000+ people pointing and laughing.

People will always laugh at others misfortune, Dan's cv let go, no driver error but plenty of people gave him a cheer! I was stuck in the line for the strip when Kerrie spun and i heard the cheers from there.suchy wrote:^^This^^^ exactly!Cotty wrote:Why would they be laughing.

The crowds at Pod always cheer when a car spins, even on proper race days. Doesn't mean they're taking the p*ss!!
