Kelvin Burt's Porsche shunt - Thruxton 2007

Porsche Carrera Cup GB round 5/6 at Thruxton

Contact at Segrave on the first lap of the race with the car of James Sutton as they went side by side into the corner pitched Burt's car into a series of rolls. Although Burt was uninjured, he was later taken to hospital for observation.

I was a marshal on post 5, the entry into the complex. Our view of this area is limited due to the track going into a dip but we did see the porsche appear in the air.

That camera man has balls of steel...I woulda been running like mad the minute I saw the car leave the ground...fantastic vision

[Sirius1985]

Jeez. Give that cameraman a pint

[SirCrouch1]

We could see this from the grand stand on the other side of the track

not really a stunt lol more of a crash

[nc30chris]

im guessing another one you are talking about is when he crashed the Volvo at BTCC into a barrier side on yeh? these are 2 of british racing's biggest crashes n neither were his fault on both occasions he got tapped by someone else

The tyre barriers and the fencing can somtimes act as a fulcrum, enabling the car to launch itself higher. In 1973 during the Spa 24hrs I saw Massimo Larini's Alfa reach a height of about 30m after being launched off the armco.

It wasn't his fault there idiot

Everytime I see a video of Kelvin Burt he crashes. Crap driver.

Given the right circumstances, a car could even get over the fence at Indy.

All I have to say is we've been damn lucky we haven't had another incident like '55 in Le Mans.

I had a pint with that man

There is nothing wrong with the track providing no contact occurs!!!
