Just to add a slight bit of extra information to this, Aaron Morgan (in the McLaren run by Team Brit) is a disabled driver (has to use hand controls) which does make it slightly more difficult for him. That said, what he did here though was indefensible, and he should have to explain himself to the stewards. Should've just tried to floor it over to the run off on the other side of the track and turn around there, not try and turn directly back on to the track
@@amonero1 For you, yeah....for me (to find out who the driver is), I understand. Honestly, disable or not...that "move" by that driver is TOTALLY unacceptable. It's a dumb move for sure.
Is his brain disabled too?!?! Cuz that was absolutely a brainless move, hand controls or no. He should be suspended from racing for awhile for that one.
this is what you do in F1 when you know you've lost the race but you can try to hit a few people on the way out so you might not get last place if they also DNF
unsafe rejoin. BUT the yellow flags need a serious re think. Something like be under control be prepared to stop or something like that cant remember the wording.....yet a lift off the throttle is adequate though...
The yellow flag post for Maggots is on the left at the entry for the left hander. It’s pretty easy to miss as you’re eyes are focusing on the apex of the right hander, someone said recently on this site ....... .... so they should have more Marshalls/yellow Lights/ Flags etc etc if a drivers cannot see the 'Yellow Flag' there is little point in having it there !!
@@Crazy-Jukebox Hi, Just spoken to one of the drivers and those lights are not all that clear and in 'line of sight', which will present a problem and also they as I understand are a fairly recent feature which no doubt will be tweaked, all the best.
Those of you criticising... yes, it was absolutely inexcusable pulling across a live circuit like that, but equally, there were waved yellows. Waved yellow means slow down and be prepared to stop. The other driver involved was not prepared to stop.
No one is prepared for some fucking clown going onto the racing line at 5km/h. Man's literally parked it in front of the other car. Completely his fault
I am frequently stunned by the cavalier attitude of drivers who keep going flat out under yellows, because they will gain over others who slow down. When they cause a crash, throw the book at them. Name and shame. Ban them for a bit. Make them pay for the damage themselves.
@@garyrowe58 This is the most sensible message yet, well done........ you are so right ...oh no one is looking I'll gain a few yards etc ..... Bang on, fine or disqualify those who don't adhere to the Waving yellow Flags !
Waved yellow means slow down and be prepared to stop ... yes not keep your foot to the floor ish !! If the other driver had kept to the rule book it is unlikely this accident would have happen. The blame can definitely not all be A.Morgans fault for sure.
Single Yellow Flag waved: This means drivers need to reduce their speed, cannot overtake and must be prepared to change direction, due to a hazard beside or partly on the track. It must be evident that a driver has reduced their speed during the relevant sector/s. No Speed Reduction by the other driver at all !!!
Did he rejoin dangerously? Yes. Did the Idiots in the other cars completely ignore the yellow flags? Yes. Fault% IMO 60% on the drivers who ignored the yellow flags and 40% on the rejoining driver.
Just because there are yellow flag doesn't mean you have way to get on the racing line whenever you please. You can't ask the other drivers to just stop the cars and let that guy through like he is Charles the III. 60% fault on the GT4 Mclaren, definitely.
Concrete? That's gravel dude.. He had no space to spin around and drivers did not reduce speed through there meaning the guy had no time to really do anything. The longer he takes, the more time is lost. Granted, it's a poor attempt. But I also see that the section of track just isn't set up to deal with a spun car there. Still his fault though.
In my eyes, everyone sucked in this situation. GT3 McLaren completely ignored yellow flags and the GT4 McLaren literally committed an unofficial official sin of racing (rejoining the race on top of the racing line)
Whether or not he had a blind spot, you don't drive across a live track like that. You engage reverse and rejoin like you join a motorway. He needs to have his licence revoked.
Single waved yellow usually mean the incident on the racing sourface. Double waved yellow means track has been blocked or partly blocked. Before the crash it was just a single yellow flag. And if I'm a driver and see somebody stationary on the track I can't except he will cross into the racing line, it's just stupid.
I mean, if I see a yellow, I'm slowing down. Seems the drivers in that race didn't do that though and gave the spun car very little time to get to safety and rejoin properly
Hang on a minute, there are double-waved yellows. Why didn't the 67 move to the right and go behind the 68? Because he was going too fast and was committed to his line. Which he shouldn't have been. That's literally what double-waved yellows mean.
Yellow flags do not "literally mean" drive to the outside of the track where a stationary car is in anticipation of said stationary car driving straight onto the racing line at 5mph in front of oncoming cars. If they follow your advice they'd crash into the hazard 98% of the time except for the rare ocassion a driver is stupid enough to drive out into oncoming cars.
I find it strange that the crashing car apparently didn't do anything to avoid the slow-moving car just into its racing line. He didn't steered in time or applied brakes in a significant way.
You do have to remember 2 things, the driver is in a wheelchair so his movements will be limited to some degree. I mean that being able to lean forward enough to see the incoming cars, which are going so fast that you'd have to see a long way off to know the amount of time you have. There's no head up display to show you exactly where the cars are on track. It's not a game. Trying to turn your head 90 degrees left while in these race cars is incredibly difficult. You are strapped in very tightly, and the helmet limits your vision (peripheral vision at least) even further. Shame about the crash, I saw it live and I don't think anyone was 100% at fault. Maybe 70/30 to the Team brit GT4, the GT3 Mclaren should have been going slower in a waved yellow flag zone in my opinion.
I mean you're strapped so tight in race cars that you can't lean forward anyway, wheelchair or not. As the commentators said, you're so blind in a race car.
Even more reasons not to rejoin directly on the racing line. If you don't have a way to make sure you can safely rejoin it, don't. That said, ignoring yellow flags is just too common in motorsports and it's just a matter of time a disgrace happens. Then they'll ensure that drivers slow down via sensors or something of the sort in the future.
it is 100% the guy who joined unsafe fault. not even a debate. But I can not understand why sometimes drivers do not slow down even a little bit and go head first into the accident scene? I have driven that track before, you can see that something is going on there easily from the previous corner. and knowing the level of bronze drivers, that is just silly not to take some avoiding action at least.
@@b4mky no it is still 100%. You can not rejoin the track in that manner no matter what. these are just bunch of amateurs who don't know what they are doing anyway.. quite low level racing.
@@ahmetyolcu5337 Some of the best GT racers in the world in British GT. Yes there are amateurs in there as well but British GT is a long way from low level racing.
@@Jtngetabetternameagree money will always be big in IRL racing, even in cheapest series possible. But it mustn't be the only factor enabling people to race.
Why is the commentator not completely blasting this guy, saying how much of an idiot he is??? You would not do that on a public road when you have live traffic coming towards you.
Because that section of track was under waved yellows. The cars going through that section should have been showing much more caution and the GT4 probably had very little visibility of oncoming cars
well the offending driver here is disabled so any criticism would result in an empty commentators seat. theres a good reason they handled that with kid gloves.
@@sprolyborn2554 That's no excuse, if the driver cannot safely control his car he should not hold a racing licence. But in my view both drivers were equally at fault, if the second driver had driven within yellow flag regulations he should have a) been able to stop and b) certainly should have been driving slow enough to take avoiding action - his line didn't move at all.
