At Kesselchen.

Some great footage beforehand of two UK scoobs on a quick lap, didn't even realise there was a black bugeye behind the camera car until it all goes wrong!

Can't believe they're driving like that amongst other cars on a tourist day. Not very fair on other drivers driving like that.

The porsches and M3's do it Everytime I've been there....

Poor Marshall position and Beamer over braking caused this more then there driving

Have to agree with Anger on this one, plenty of cars drive at that speed out there. The marshal wasn't in the best position but if the BMW driver hadn't jumped on the anchors so quickly without checking his mirrors, it would have been completely avoidable. He would have been able to see the incident was still several hundred metres ahead so could have eased off gently on the straight rather suddenly braking.

Second video of the incident onboard the black Scoob:



How close was the Blue car to clipping the car on the grass?!

Black car was lucky he was down slightly on power, otherwise he would of been up the chuff of either of the other scoobs and would of been contact made.

Blue one looked alot closer to taking out that that old yank wreck from the black car footage.

Some interesting sounds coming from one them in the car, not sure if it was driver or passenger....

edit/ just watched the whole thing and realised it was his missus on board, not a girly sounding passenger
