Big Crash/Roll Mallory Park Plum Pudding 26/12/16

Reverse grids and no green flag lap, what could possibly go wrong?
Alan Forster ends up the wrong way on lap 1, and the much faster back half of the field stacks up under braking trying keep out of harms way. Big nascar styled domino effect where no one can really go anywhere. Audi hits Clio, Clio hits BMW firing it into the Mini. Clio also hit by Golf. In the end about a quarter of the field are done on lap 1.
Then Nikolas Barton rolls the new VW Golf at the elbow in a spectacular way.
Note the expression on Mike Ritchie (white integra) after Nik Barton rolls in front of him. knows he's a lucky lad.

I was in the commentary box with Dave Goddard when that happened. Tried so hard to stay quiet but couldn't when the car started to roll, was so glad the driver was unhurt

Thought I reconised the "and over" catchphrase of Dave Goddard.

Steven Wood And will be again this year, and probably next, and probably the one that after too...:)

[@Woody93185]

Ok just seen the roll.. that was unexpected and spectacular looked like a relatively easy rebuild though

I was standing at Gerrads today, I was parked between a yellow Lupo and a Blue polo GTi.

[@PescaraProductions]

That yellow lupo would be my car hahah

Just for the record, the description makes it sound like I drove into the Mini. All of us except the yellow Audi braked because we could see the MG spinning, the Audi stoved into Tyler Lidsey's Clio which pushed him into me, sent me sideways and across the path of Thompson in the Mini who did take to the grass to avoid me but it was unavoidable. Tyler then got spat across the path of Peter Felix in the Golf R who both collided. 1 person spinning and another not paying attention ultimately caused a lot of damage. Should have been 2 warm up laps given the cold conditions, Clerk of the Course should have listened to the suggestions put forwards BEFORE the race which would have possibly prevented a spin on cold tyres. But what's done is done. Ultimately I enjoyed the day still 👍🏼

[@PescaraProductions]

Description changed dude👍🏼Lad driving the MG believes he was hit, not too sure what happened myself, too much going on for my eyes.

[@graham1988]

Pescara Productions thanks mate appreciate it :-) yep just watched my video and he was hit from the white Bug. Uploading as we speak and watch the carnage unfold haha. Cool footage on this video though. Mike in the Integra saw his life flash before his eyes when the Golf R rolled in front of him!!

[@PescaraProductions]

No worries, the more I know the better haha. Yea his reactions inside the car speak for themself, one lucky guy! Have seen onboard from Joe's mini and you can hardly see whats unfolding in front due to the low sun.

[@graham1988]

Pescara Productions yeah the sun was unreal all day. I've put a tinted visor on my list of stuff to buy!! If Joe uploads it can you let me know please? Would be interested to see it. I can see the he took to the grass to avoid me, no love lost there but a 600kg mini is never going to stand much of a chance against 1450kg of German build quality 😐

[@graham1988]

Video uploaded by the way
