This always get shown at the Oulton Park marshals' cinema every January/February to remind ourselves the worst things that can happen in a race.

@Uberwagon hardly so, the rain had just fell out of the sky when everybody had slicks, as a result of this the red flag came out of this and the drivers were unable to see the flags

It's so funny but at same time frightning

Wow a GT Royal Rumble! That was mad.

I was there, I've never seen rain come down so quickly, it was dry over by the pit lane and absolutely throwing it down where I was stood at knickerbrook chicane. I was just behind the barrier right in front of where the Saleen's crashed. No fault of the stewards or marshalls

To me it looks like they were gunning it on slicks in a monsoon?Totally preventable in my book.

@kayu38 There was a chicane going off to the right where the Lister snuck through. I'm assuming what happened was that the first Saleen spun in a similar fashion as the second one, but the second Saleen (and the Viper, Ferrari, TVR, and Marcos) had the misfortune of sliding into the car(s) already there. It was just a bit of bad luck, and an apparently pissed off mother nature that set that up.

Did they ever hear something like.... ABORT the race because of rain???
God. Bless. The Marshals. Glad that one was okay.
That said, this was a case of poor race control. Red flags were long overdue.

I find it amazing that racing isn't stopped instantly in these conditions. Also find it amazing that you can hear some of the people who are watching giggling and laughing at what is clearly a serious crash.
