@ThePhilRocks1 sorry if the music irritates you. But if I didn't you some music. It was just some dutch commentary. What almost nobody understands.

@QEV8C

@torfsstijn thumbs up for that. Ik ben een belg.

what is tragic is not the accident but reaction of those persons in charge

david purley is a hero either way, at least he tried

[zigies80]

I am dutch several died at this circuit, its a disgrace that the gp went on. One of the commentator also says its disgusting he is dead.

I read that the race were not stopped because the race control thought it was a camp fire of some fans. Look at this cloud of smoke. How can you actually think this is a camp fire?

I have always wished David had tried to "leverage himself" between that overturned rear wheel of Rogers car and the guardrail behind him, in his first effort to turn the upturned car over.  Easier for me to think of it, I'm sure, as I'm a tall galoot (and perhaps he just as easily dismissed it as quite impossible himself in the same way within the blink of an eye)...but I will still always wonder if it might not have made a difference.

I think David Purley really tried, that day. A good soul.

Stupid! They did not quit this race!

If someone asked me what is 'courage'. I would show them the efforts of David Purley. A man who put his own life at risk to try and save the life on another, while people just stood by and watched. RIP to both Roger and David

@mrtitsmigee True, the other drivers just kept going but all said the same thing after the race, if we had known.

@ajaxmasterbrian

That tragic was not becouse of the marshalls, the main problem was in that time. The marshalls didnt wear any protective suit, so they couldnt help :-( In present everyone has protective suits, incl. helmets, etc.. The only think what could help there were if the other drivers stopped and helped David
