Right, just spoken to Adam. The big crash happened on Friday evening, two scoobies piled into the barrier together, one then flipped and went over the barrier. They were UK cars

The one that flipped over the barrier was apparently fatal.

Adam binned his scooby too, on the in lap after the big crash, he had brake failure. He is sending me some pics later. He trashed 16m of barrier and was charged 1,100 euros. The car was sent for scrap in Germany and he got a lift back home with someone he went with.

There was another fatal this weekend involving a mini too.

The fact that CJ and Mike L were at Spa on Friday means it was not them thankfully.

This is another reason we go when we do. The track conditions are much better.

Adam said not only was it wet, but there were plenty of wet leaves about too.

CJ and Mike are @ Spa today

I text a mate who went with the on Sunday and he didn't mention anything, so assume they are all ok. He only got 2 laps in due to the clean up.
