@jerryaltman Indeed. The same year Roger Williamson died in another accident (the following race to that)
and his car got fire.

@RickMoonbeam They had not invented the yellow flag by then, all they had was some really short guy waving his hands.

Wow....great track design guys. Its like they set out to create the worst starting grid position they could. hmm....lets put the grid on a curve! BRILLIANT! Maximise the chance of everyone wrecking at once and then we all can go to the pub for a pint! WOW!

I still don't understand this accident. Why did Scheckter get broadsided? There was ample time to get the waved yellow flags out and plenty of marshals there to see what had happened to do it. It all seems a bit unnecessary to me.

What was the sponsor John Player at the time?

I heard about this during quali today.
Luckly no car got fire. back those time the fuel tank was quite fragile and fire was often.
