Huge start line screw up @ Le Castellet

Flibster · 3 Apr 2011 at 14:03

2011 Le Mans series seems to be having a few issues at the start.

Someone deserves a kick in the arse for that one.

That really does take the biscuit.

FAIL.

I'd forgotten that Neil Garner Motorsport are doing it this year - http://www.neilgarner-motorsport.com/. Neil's a good bloke and knows his stuff!

Epic Fail!

So, have they established who was at fault? Did the Safety car driver receive the wrong orders, was there screw up with the lighting, or did the safety car driver simple have a massive brain fart?!

Kinda reminds me of this "Safety" car driver

This was a good one too from the Aussie V8s.

I think the safety car driver was asleep!

Actually, it was the medical car, iirc?

Should we have a medical-car thread too?

Priaulx, Menu, Muller. I need to watch WTCC!

Indy500 · 4 Apr 2011 at 12:19

Although that looked more like Wurz brake-testing the safety car

Your too late.

The manufacturers have pulled out and lost a number of major drivers too. Priaux is a BMW Works driver for their GT car now I think.

However, the racing is still good, and there has even been a rumour that they are pushing for 2 lap races on the full Nurburgring course! Shame its on Sky and I don't have that any more

The Wurz one was weird, because, he should have been backed off for the waved yellows, but he managed to be going fast enough to lose the back end and force him to take go down the "gap" after he corrected..

Can anyone rememeber what penalty he got, if any, for this?

Epic fail in OP video.
