Castle Combe - Crash and Action - BARC Weekend - June 2024

Can confirm it was a brake failure, well done for checking about posting the footage (which I did too and is the correct thing to do) as it was a horrific accident, actually painful to watch but glad everyone is okay. Gutted for the Audi driver as she was going so well in mixed conditions.

Hi mate just checking if I can use the footage at 10:23 of my crash 😂 I had a brake failure wasn't just my driving but them barriers are mint as I was able to get my car back out for race 2 later that day

[@CarsAreRacing]

The barriers here are one of the best investments Combe have made, saved hundreds of cars in the last few years. You’re fine to use the footage!

Footage of the accident is already out there so.....fat lot of good that did eh? IMO if everyone is ok it's better to get the footage out so everyone can learn from the incident and try to ensure it doesn't happen again, censoring it just makes it into a "streisand effect", a "forbidden fruit" that makes everyone want to see it more

[@CarsAreRacing]

I get that and do agree with you, but if someone asks me to not post it then I won’t ignore the request.

[@jwc7936]

I get where you are coming from with Lessons and LfE learning positive and negative lessons and yes there is a lot to take away from this accident and embedding those lessons into practice. That said, as this accident was monstrous and yes everyone escaped ok it is polite and courteous to check with individuals concerned if footage can be shared and if they don't want it posted, this must be respected. The chap here has done absolutely the right thing. Alternatively (and a conversation would have to be had with the two involved to approve) is to see whether this footage could be shared to the club (or Motorsport UK) separately (limited distribution) to aid Marshall training which would be valuable learning.

im glad someone got the external view of my exhaust flying off and going under my wheel 15:57 could i use this in one of my posts

[@peterhowe547]

figured out how it came off???

[@NCRacing]

@@peterhowe547 i think just over time the bracket got loose and it just came off when changing down gear

[@peterhowe547]

@@NCRacing I've seen a few exhaust pipes come undone at the track.

[@CarsAreRacing]

Yeah I have no problem with you using the footage.
