Default Dutch Supercar bizarre crash

The Dutch Supercar Challenge Race at Spa was going fine, until someone crashed behind the Safety Car, then the Safety Car got clobbered and it all went downhill from there images/smilies/blink.gif

Quote:
Initially everybody manages to pass the Safety Car with relative ease, but eventually it goes horribly wrong on Blanchimont –the fastest part of the track– where the Safety Car is driving slowly in order for the field to overtake.

One of the Lamborghini Gallardo GT3’s reduces speed when seeing the Safety Car, something Joost den Ouden did not expect in his BMW M3 Compact. Den Ouden slammed into the rear of the Lamborghini and tumbles head over heels into the Safety Car.

In the pile up of this accident the BMW’s of Willy Angenent and Laurens Gooshouwer were involved too as well as the Marcos Mantis of team de Wit/Bemudez de Castro.

Bit unusual for the Safety Car to get taken out

Very strange to see a safety car involved like that. Reminds me of a CART race at Long Beach in the mid 90's (you know, when CART kicked ass) - there was fluid down at a corner and the pace car ended up nosing into the tyre barriers.

Oh, and for the Aussie V8 fans out there - at Clipsal this year Paul Morris got pinged for colliding with the Safety Car in the pits. I wet myself when I read that.

I think it was part fault at the safety car for slowing down in a tricky section, and part the BMW's fault for not paying attention.

Yeah, I laughed. Paul Morris is a bit of a moron eh?

"All right. While we're still under a caution, I want you to go back out on that track and hit the pace car."

"Hit the pace car?"

"Hit the pace car!!"

"What for?"

"Because you've hit every other goddamned thing out there, I want you to be perfect."
