    Four or five guys standing around dealing with the downed bike and not one thought to position himself round the bend to warn oncomers... :thumbd:

    White Powerranger certainly got over the Armco sharpish. :lol:

    And this is exactly why I won`t do TF anymore, without insurance. :(

    Fate is in your own hands ?. What a load of cobblers.

    You don`t know what`s round the next corner, god forbid it`s something like that ! :o

    Must admit Nige it certainly makes you think about all the laps done over the years by those of us that 'used' to go lol

    Never came across anything like that myself.

    Mini driver did well/had a lot of luck not hitting anyone/anything.

    But the people standing/parking on track... <shudder>

    No, it's fine though, because the BMW parked in the middle of the road had his hazards on. [:v:]

    Jesus. What is the matter with people? [:x]

    I did, same place. A peugeot 306 had a broken oil line to the cooler. Line of oil all round that corner, to Bergwerk. He was parked up on the exit, car in flames.

    Massive pile up behind, similar to that one. I ran back up the hill with a flag, but several people were involved in his accident.

    That`s what I`ve always said, you can drive at 5/10th, but he said it was just one of those things and the resulting damage was huge.

    I guess you must've done 4 if not 5 times the laps I have so chances of seeing things like this are far greater. :(
