Donington Park Crashes/Highlights, BRSCC, 17/6/23

Back to Britain with BRSCC at Donington Park instead of the Kielder Forest Rally as originally planned. We didn't fancy the drive or the dust of summer forest rallying so Donington it was. Certainly an interesting day 1 with a strange and sudden Lotus fire on a quali cool down lap, a bizarre crash in the TT Cup that looked like yet another classic brake failure here and even more fire from the pretty spectacular Renault Megane of Richard Owen!

Excellent job by the marshalls as always with the fire. UK Marshalls best of the best

[@MotorsportMeister]

Yes, it's only a matter of time until the slow response of certain circuits (especially in Germany) have serious human consequences.

[@ledheadpilot27]

That Megane is nuts, never seen any car produce a flame like that! Sounds like the afterburner on a military aircraft!

[@Palmit_]

looks fab doesn't it? Amazing what ECU mapping can do. Micro-delay leaving unburned fuel in manifiold from one cyclinder.. and advancing ignition on the next cyclinder; triggered by rev count, speed and gear selection. all to minimum time lost. Impressive and Fun!

[@petebeatminister]

Some are rather creative with their track finding.... :) Yes, cutting a corner can happen - but a few times it was clearly seeking advantage, else they would have been passed. Well, the famous track limits also a big issue in F1 lately.

[@suyosq2]

The 58 audi looked like a brake failure... although novice cross on the back may tell the tale as a very ambitious move.

[@MrSpanks]

I just posted the same comment! 'I think Hoggins (Audi TT #58) is gonna struggle to get rid of his Novice Cross driving like that!!'😂

[@ZetecinsideMotorsport]

That fire was brutal. Well done to the marshals for extinguishing it.

[@derrickgreen9020]

Dear oh dear…some twitchy steering there! Great captures! That Lotus(?) was toast in spite of the marshals efforts sadly.

[@cinqpower]

i don't know the extend of the (presumably fuel leakkage) but if the first would have tried to cover the source instead of the symptom (puddle), they might have had a slightly better chance. But then again, I don't know other than what I see here onscreen. But as a Rally Marshall, I would have gone to the source first.

[@derrickgreen9020]

@@cinqpower if he’d pulled off the circuit immediately instead of just stopping in the middle of the track, perhaps the asphalt wouldn’t have melted? As you say, I wasn’t there at the time. Do they have to pay for damage caused?

[@PescaraProductions]

I hope the asphalt hasn't melted or Palmer will be having someone's head! That's brand new tarmac that😂

[@agent0066]

​@@cinqpowerLots of ifs. I don't see how we can judge what the first Marshal did as all we can see is them aim at the base of the fire before the scene is obscured by powder and smoke. Can't see if they went under the car or in through the wheel well. I imagine if the wind direction had been different they would have been able to tackle it more effectively without being driven to the other side by the heat and smoke. Also another case where a driver walks off from a seemingly still running fuel pump without cutting the electrics or triggering the on board extinguisher.

[@andyowens5494]

⁠@@agent0066Split fuel hose: electrics didn't matter this time. Thats why it took a while to control.

[@minibus9]

awesome video

[@MrSpanks]

I think Hoggins (Audi TT #58) is gonna struggle to get rid of his Novice Cross driving like that!!

[@Boatlife1964]

Great content as always.👍

[@PescaraProductions]

Cheers, good to be back

[@FotografieRamscheidt]

3:51 is the new test for your synchronization. how is that possible in the exact same time to have the alarm with fire?

[@JimWhitaker]

The Audi session seemed a bit rough and ready. Lots of unforced errors.

[@MX-Mug]

Hope the surface was not damaged too much, it’s just been done.

[@MotorsportMeister]

Shame about that Lotus.

[@malcolmlane-ley2044]

The idiot in the Lotus should have pulled onto the grass whilst he still had motion instead of ruining the track surface.

[@cdname47]

Gimme a break mate, I'm still working through the lemans videos, you cant be burning down loti (plural) until I've had a a chance to catch up lol I only got a chance to glance at Sunday's stream on top of the 500 things racing this weekend but it did seem the old hairpin was the place to be again, everyone throwing it away and a cr2 saving the whole field from being lost in a deluge by rolling in the gravel and bringing out the sc just before the thunderstom arrived..... annoyingly lol No idea if they went back green after the thunder red though...

[@andyowens5494]

Yep, re-started behind SC.

[@cdname47]

@@andyowens5494 any more rollovers? Haha

[@andyowens5494]

@@cdname47 Yep, two more. And one in the tyres on the last lap for good measure.

[@cdname47]

@@andyowens5494 ha figures. Did they actually catch any of them on screen though lol

[@andyowens5494]

@Brum Racing I've not seen any one KZbin, but will be recorded on our cameras in race control.

[@bigalfeath4208]

Driver must of left the electrics on for it to keep flaring up like , Well done to my follow orange wearing people

[@user-ez3kl5ih8j]

こんな動画を見て思う事!!イギリスはなんで自国の車産業を大事にしなかったんだろう、パトカーもドイツ製だったりこの映像の中の車も殆んどドイツ製❢燃えたロータス位

[@kevmcgoey8201]

Those fire extinguishers are useless .

[@andyowens5494]

That fire was more challenging than most.

[@brianjohnson9682]

I wonder if the fuel pump was still running?

[@killakanzgaming]

I'm a marshal, and I heard about this incident from the guys who were there. Fuel line broke and the fuel cut-off failed on the car. It was literally dumping all it's fuel which kept re-igniting. Very difficult thing to deal with.

[@Pete68T]

Most of these Are Not Race Drivers More Demolition Derby Standard,Very Poor Driving standards Why Bother.
