[reyjunior100]

[ipecaquana]

SUPER MARSHALS great job

Dd

[15joey04]

Holy sh.. ! What about the "impact" from behind ! Why ?

Low-lifed or a drunk person with a BIG personality ??

Its a shame

[JKayF1]

"That's on fire."

Lmao!

[600tom009]

thats on fire... lol state the obviouse

[MadigitalMedia]

Yeah, the guy who said that was involved with LNT, so you can imagine the shock he was going through at that point. 'Stunned' would be a massive understatement.

[einenschlong]

"thats on fire" really? brilliant commentary.

[tsarcasm666]

very good work indeed!!!! 40 years ago that man would have been dead. thanks to Jackie Stewart etc. we have safety these days

[gypsybus]

is it rob austin??

[MadigitalMedia]

As the info for this stated, it was Hunter Abbott in the car

[gypsybus]

wasnt this shown on accidental heroes - on bbc 1 a couple weeks back??

[MadigitalMedia]

Yes it was. I was asked to provide the footage for it

[LolaJudd]

Lawrence Tomlinson, Ginetta's Chairman, and Bill Gibson, Zytek Engineering founder, now have an equal controlling intererst in Zytek.

[69clarky69]

[me19921977]

[KatheriineLou]

All i can say is thank god for the marshalls

you should all be proud of yourselves !!

All the marshalls are voulenteers so they have voulentered their time to save lives thankyou to them all they did a great job x x x

[staalman]

I think the driver saved his own live by getting out quick... :-)

But I admit, the marshalls were very quick at the site ..

[lowlevelpilot2000]

Great work from the marshalls, you should be proud of yourselves, super job.

[dunkdrag]

British marshals.

Best in the world.

And all Volunteers!

[MOMOf333SP]

good post

[mick5eye]

off to olton park next weekend 2 see bsb lets hope they is no crashs like that ?

[TheEternalHamster]

just come back from bsb at oulton!

Shame about the last bsb championship race, the leader getting clipped on one of the last laps! i think i was there when that happened with the ginetta... shocking.

[jonelsorel]

thank god they moved quikly, mate.. so glad you're ok!

[mattogle619]

I like the way the guy at the start states the obvious by saying "thats on fire" !!!!!!

[Dovey1988]

i was ther!!!

[NikitasGuitars]

9 seconds... wow.

[OverlapFilms]

Very lucky guy. Really glad that he is ok. Just shows how good Ginettas are then.

[bobdope2002]

hmmmm im pretty sure you'd be able to see the lights from the distance this video is taken from if the so called extra lighting is they're

what flag

The flames would only burn the direct area where the fire was do you think its going to take out the whole track and the signs too

as soon as the guy jumps out the car they're putting him out no camera hesitation they're fella

how is that not consistent with real damage the car is in bits its crumpled all over and half the bits are on the grass

[pottersdt2k]

fao KingDanny96 - I can assure you that it was a genuine and very scary crash. I was stood where the crash happened - it was definitely genuine.

Rob - I'm glad Hunter's ok; best of luck for the rest of the season.

- Matt (also a marshal)

[ktosfifi]

o kurcze wspołczuje przezył ?

[MadigitalMedia]

Sorry, can you ask that question in English please?

[gksypher]

All I can say < Im glad that the driver OK :) , And a VERY well done to the MARSHALS , as gnpotter said " British marshalls are the best in the world " . Tottaly agree :) .

[Johnny1lap]

Hope the driver is ok, but i had to laugh at the guy @ 00-04 "that's on fire" LMFAO

[SoloBigDog]

LOL ''Thats on Fire''

[raustin123]

As it was my car I would just like to take this opportunity to say Hunter is fine and we will be out at the next round at Knock Hill.

On behalf of Hunter, my team and myself I would like to thank Ginetta cars for building such a strong car and therefore saving Hunter from serious harm.

Would it be possible to get the high res version of this video?

[MadigitalMedia]

Thanks Rob. I've sent you an email

[drewhint26]

Ive been marshaling since 96 ive had cars come over the barrier at me on my first day but nothing compares to that excellent work by the great and British MARSHALS! its the worst Ive seen in the 13 years Ive been going

[gnpotter]

I wasn't there on Saturday but went on Monday. British marshalls are the best in the world. Thanks to you guys for the excellent work you do

[zudthespud]

^agrees

[genius7000]

that marshell with the blue arms is ma dad on his first day!!

[MadigitalMedia]

It gives a new meaning to the term 'baptism by fire'. I hope he never has to experience that again.

[genius7000]

haha yer he went bak though i was there with him on monday

[WickedTRX]

I'm a track Marshall, congrats to your dad! i've been close to a fire like that. it isn't easy!!!

[monkeypoo1]

John I take it? This is Jamie who you marshalled with the other day.

[JAALMARZA]

Trabajo perfecto de las asistencias en menos de 10 segundos tras incendiarse el coche ya había alguien apagando el fuego..

[MadigitalMedia]

Rough Translation:

Perfect work by the Marshals. Less than 10 seconds after the car caught fire someone was already extinguishing it.

[england101]

That's on fire!!!

[HSX1983]

Good job by the marshalls. They are so vary rarely thanked.

[Cprazza01]

awesome !!! i went on march 24th but nothing BIG happened :(

but the porche was right up the lambo's ass and the porche span out !!

( yay! )

[GSCrepresentative]

porche? porSche, good job misspelling it twice.

[zudthespud]

wow, i was going to go but i forgot :/

[FORDtw35]

"Thats on fire"

No shit Sherlock!!

Glad the guy was ok

[BeechSundowner]

Glad nobody hurt!

[RokBronx]

Unfortunately me & my team were at Water Tower so we missed this but we did get a huge Formula Ford crash today! First class marshalling by those guys on an incident which could so easily have been fatal. I was hoping to meet the marshals to shake their hands but didnt get time. myspace.c0m/BusbyMarshallingTe­am

[f1madmatt]

I've been marshalling for 4 seasons now, never had a fire. Your dad gets one on his first day !, unlucky

[genius7000]

yer i no his mate said he hadnt seen anythin like that in 30 years

[genius7000]

the second marshell ( in the blue) is my dad! an it was his first day!!

[AlonsoLegend]

Pretty shocking thing to see live that woman in the white coat that would probably have been me! :P

[Stunaldo]

hahahahaha!

the guy that goes "thats on fire"

No! :O really?

[Lostrockzforeva]

I think from now on i will wear my fireproof trousers under my suit!

[EdLeake]

That's why we ware fireproofs, they work! :)

[zeta794]

thank god the driver is o.k

[tizertwo]

the marshaling was amazing, the speed they got to the car and put it out was excellent and considering they were looking after a trainee on his first day as well!

[Metz087]

ZOMG

[beetlebird31]

it looked better in real life than on this footage but im glad driver ok

[OptimaxX]

Who gives a **** about Rob's car?! Doesn't the driver's saftey come priority over some car? Excellent catch mate, glad to hear that is is okay. I like motorsport, but in a crash like this, the cars can go to hell as far as i'm concerend, the driver is the most important thing

[kinomis]

Yeah ,youre right. But the car could explode :D. So they toke care about that

[littleladders]

Poor Rob's Car :(

Glad He's Ok Though..

Just Shows How Strong They Really Are..!

[Felonator]

WOW! Awesome catch mate! Glad he was ok!!!

[cdname47]

Amazing, looks more like a movie stunt than anything you think can happen in real life!!

Thank goodness he walked away...

Anyone know if the TV guys covering the race for sky sports caught it?

[cdname47]

Scratch that, I mean Channel 4...(though it'd be the same broadcast crew obviously..I just saw a Ginetta and thought of the one make series...whoops! :-P )

[kylek01]

i was standing right by the barrier at dentons moments before this happened... but took this time to go and get a brew... damn... im gald hes ok :)

[ibexmotorsport]

Superb marshalling

Once again proving GB has the best volunteers in Motorsport

Hope hunters ok, he's a nice lad.

[MadigitalMedia]

Hunter walked away unharmed. Amazing considering he got out of the car with his arms, legs and lower torso on fire.

[markmitch66]

Excellent Marshalling!

[sland2007]

I agree, excellent marshalling, i was at shell - looking across the lake it looked as though a bomb had hit

[R1Blogger]

Huge crash!!
