I hadn't seen this on YouTube until now. I was there too on that day, stood not too far away from where Ben's car came over the barrier, thankfully it didn't collect any marshalls.
I was there the day this happened one of the worst crashes ive seen by far ! was quite funny watching the stewards running away from a car flying over the barrier though x
Forget asking the marshal's to video. I was on the post inside paddock for that little accident. We were all ducking to avoid the flying clio and getting a gravel shower for our trouble.
You lot are so hopeful for the gravel trap to grab a car and roll it over you sometimes miss the action elsewhere :-P
Seriously though, I know how hard it can be during big incidents to make the right decisions!
I'd have three rollovers in my video collection from the same meeting if I'd have made the opposite decision to what I ended up doing, instead of a rather pathetic one! :-p
We need to petittion for Marshals to be equipped with tiny cameras, they'd have got some great views!
its amazing when you see the onboard camera how quick the crash happens, there is just no time to react at that speed

Funny how Tom Onslow-Cole has gone onto BTCC - cool to see where the names of today come from.

Well one of the rollers was at paddock (i believe i have a video of it online somewhere), but you can't be everywhere at once!

everyone missed it, even the two of us with camcorders at paddock exit, mind you we had only just started filming then!

If only one of the cameramen at Paddock had followed the two cars heading towards the inside barriers, would've been the shot of the year! :-(
