Not good at all, so far no fatalities thankfully but a pretty gruesome scene.

horrid horrid story.

I saw the footage last night - shocking stuff, really made me feel sick seeing it.

Poor safety measures, really close to the crowd, however, you should always drive A, within your ability and B, to the conditions/within the safety measures.

He has been to the GT cup before - one of my mates has been competing in the GT Pro Class, PB is not a good driver and has a really really terrible attitude towards others and his own driving ability.

Undoubtedly this accident will scar the man for life, but knowing a few people that have been in his company a regularly at the racing - they doubt he will care.

I hope that everyone makes a good recovery, but from what I have read there is a 6 year old girl in a critical condition, you see her in the video lying on the ground. just sickening.

Thoughts are with those affected by this. Really sad situation. Agree that the safety measures look a bit poor - the events we see here in the UK like this will have tonnes of hay bails between the action and the spectators - likes of Alford, Ingliston etc.
