lots of rumours on many forums

bit of an eye witness statement from one post on

https://www.facebook.com/groups/128773150473055/

bloke just took a piccy of his missus, with the 2 blokes that got hit in the background.

white SEAT of some kind turned left, thru barrier and into the very last trade stand at the top end

Thoughts to all involved.

That's awful, could have been anyone of us. I thought it was a 2 car collission.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I believe that that accident happened roughly between the mobile seating area, and the end of the spectator area, the car travelled across from the far lane after the steering wheel had become detached!
Myself and Satty "Mr Blue" had been spectating in that immediate area, only moments earlier, and had already questioned the safety after that mega quick white Mk1 went past us and blew up...
Water barriers, then concrete barriers are needed for that first 200 yards of spectator area, and "on the line" Scrutineer's  needs to be a lot sharper!
I wish a speedy recovery to all involved
