[@KyleHerrera106]

@@tpilot_error404 it actually isn't. It is a few hundred yards after the exit of an extremely low speed hairpin, that itself follows a relatively low speed straight away. Furthermore, the preceding corner exits on the left side of the track so he should have seen the commotion clearly as he crossed to the right side of the track behind the other cars. There would have been a clear angle with no obstructions of the lame car and of all the cars jumping in and out of line ahead of him which is uncommon, and only ever means proceed with caution. There is no excuse for him to not have had time to assess the situation. He was either being greedy and was hoping to use the injured car to his advantage by using it as a bit of blocking for the two cars ahead and he would be clever and go around the outside and keep his speed instead of slowing. Which makes him a total cunt who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a race track. Since he should be slowing for the yellow flag and should know that any positions he gained would be disallowed and reversed anyway, specifically to prevent this exact situation. Or he didn't see the car at all, or the yellow flags, and got confused why others were slowing on a portion of track where they would normally be speeding up, and was going to avoid what he probably assumed to be an emerging situation, though it was clearly ongoing. In which case he should be suspended for not being aware of yellow flags or following yellow flag procedures which would have disallowed and caused a reversal of any positions gained anyway.

He was trying to go by inside lane, behind the Ferrari that was going off the track. But as soon as he realized the car in front was too close because apparently the orange car hit the brakes while passing through the white one, what makes the Porsche driver go into the only place left. I'm surprised that the driver's quick reflex was enough to hit just the edge of the rear instead of burying the front of the Porsche perfectly in the middle of the rear of the Ferrari 333.

[@flaming_ace]

to everyone blaming only the porsche, the entire field was blasting past at unsafe speeds, not just the driver who hit the stationary car. while they should be penalized for ignoring yellows and causing a collision, the rest of the field should also recieve punishment for ignoring yellows, the whole point of a yellow flag is safety, and while the others may have avoided being the one to hit the near-stationary car, some only just barely avoided it, and most just kept going at full tilt. safety needs to be properly enforced in sports, and the competition can always come second to avoiding dangerous crashes like this one

[@ttt69420]

@@flaming_ace I disagree, even though gut sentiment says to agree. Danger is part of the sport, that's the only way people learn, and this isn't that bad assuming you stay strapped in (you'd be an idiot not to). Are they all stupid, yes absolutely. But I'm not prepared to water down the sport even more than it has been over it. They should be openly ridiculed for their ineptitude. Penalties should remain on a case to case basis. If you want safety then stay at home and turn on the playstation.

[@SimoneSaviolo]

There's somethings that I don't like about how penalties are handled in F1 - and GT seems to be the same. There's a huge list of rules, don't do this, don't do that, you can but only if your front wheel's front edge is before the center of the other car's side mirror... but they are never applied unless there is a collision. Like here: you should slow down and use caution during yellow flag, but if you don't and miss the other car by five centimeters than everything's ok. It doesn't make much sens to be honest...

Tbh at this point it seems like all the flags and digital flags on their screens are not enough just slow down the cars in that sector From afar and limit the top speed in that sector

[@Emppu_T.]

No just everyone follow the rules and everyone react fast.

[@oonmm]

That was actually the best solution I ever heard, I can't believe this isn't a thing! A dangerously unsafe driver who doesn't reduce the throttle because he's in a "high speed" turn, would quickly learn the simple rule: "If you don't reduce the throttle now, it will be reduced for you.". It should be an easy rule to remember, because if the unsafe driver is holding the throttle, doing a high speed corner during an accident, then the car can automatically drop the throttle anyways. That would teach him what it feels like to have a crash! And he'll be sure to know that he was wrong, and couldn't avoid crashing - when there's been an accident - by holding the throttle in a fast corner like that! Taking away the drivers control over their car - especially if it happens for all of them at once - when someone has just had a crash because they lost control over their car, would definently be safer than what it is now.

[@MentalParadox]

They've been warned enough, the next step is providing the incentive for following the rules by heavily penalizing those who don't.

[@bobh6728]

The car that hit did not have the light flashing on the back like all the other cars. Is that for cautions? If so, do the officials turn those on remotely, or do the drivers have to turn them on?

[@seanrojas]

You don’t need to. The drivers have screens on their dash in their vehicles. Why don’t they post a warning in there?

[@JK-wn3ih]

That's not the point, though. There are established flag points, as are made clear to the drivers during briefing and in the build up. You show the double yellow at the established flag point, then the single yellow at the flag point before. You don't just throw a yellow from any position at random. It defeats the point, which is to do show the drivers well in advance. The drivers were to blame here, for not slowing and also failing to observe the stranded car.

They should put speed limiters on the vehicles that can be activated when there is a crash and objects are on the runway that need to be cleared.

Christian Hook's initial crash which caused his Ferrari to become disabled and undriveable, as it came to rest in the middle of the course ~ Resulted in a serious "On-Track" situation, which lead to a Double-Yellow Caution to be Immediately Flagged by Officials! Radio Communications were sent to all Drivers, to proceed with Caution and Safety! The Drivers were also Warned to obey accident protocol. However, instead of following the safety rules, the GT DRIVERS that drove past Hook's damaged and disabled Ferrari, continued to race and pass eachother ~ According to SRO & GT RULES, the passing drivers are all REQUIRED to slow down to the same speed; drive in a single line; safely approach and pass accident; and Do Not Pass other cars!!! Christian Hooks is so bloody lucky and fortunate to be alive; and obviously, to have walked away from such a scary and violent crash. It was an absolutely sad sight to watch how irresponsible and careless other Drivers acted, during this very serious and dangerous situation. Thankfully, all those involved in the accidents, walked away from them!!!

There were many close moments behind safety cars with people going full speed up Raidillon and coming over the crest to see cars stopped. Actually expected a crash there

I saw this crash on live 24 h. spa and it was so impressive, didnt know if it was okey the driver.

Honestly that porsche isn't looking where he's going

Imagine, your series sponsor was as bad at business as fanatec

Why don't they have a yellow LED equipped on every driver's dash that flashes when there's a caution... we have the technology.
