THE PRIEST ON THE TRACK! The Story of the 2003 British Grand Prix

In 2000, the German Grand Prix was interrupted by a man on the track. In 2003, a man entered the track at Silverstone and looked to actively run towards the cars, which then drew parallels with the 1977 South African Grand Prix.
And it spoiled a great race, as an out of form Rubens Barrichello showed what he was truly capable of, and utterly destroyed his team mate who went on to be the second winningest driver in history.

Also not the only time there’d be a track invasion at Silverstone. After Zhou’s car was peeled from the catch fence the Just Stop Oil nutters did their little sit down protest on the track.

Speaking of Tom Pryce, have you considered covering his story? There’s barely any coverage of him on RU-vid, and most of it is “deaths caught on camera” type compilations. It would be nice to hear more about his career up to that point, instead of just the accident itself.

@JohnSmithShields Год назад

Excellent suggestion.

He's one of the best up and coming driver at his time but his life cut short unfortunately. It will be great opportunity for him cus there's very less content about him.

@matthewlawrenson3628 Год назад

The best overview of Tom Pryce's career is in the book "The Lost Generation" by David Tremayne.

@Someyungrebel Год назад

I was thinking the same thing. He definitely had the potential to win the world championship, and in every only race I’ve seen him in he was always running up front before a crash or reliability trouble. Also, I wonder if that big hill at Kyalami would’ve played any part in Tom not seeing the Marshall

@crystalracing4794 Год назад

A brutal and needless death of Tom and that marshal

@SaraSpruce Год назад

Came to think of it, it's an interesting coincidence that two of Barrichello's best performances came at Grands Prix with track invasions, the other of course being his first win at the 2000 German GP you mentioned. Edit: Hadn't watched the part where you mentioned it when I made the comment lol

@aydankhaliq2967 Год назад

I think anytime there's been a track invasion, a Ferrari won the race. 1977 Kyalami if you want to count it was won by Niki Lauda. 2000 Hockenheim was won by Barrichello and so was 2003 Silverstone and lastly, 2015 Singapore was won by Seb Vettel. All wins were in Ferrari's.

Allow me to add another example: The 1989 Brazilian Grand Prix, won by Nigel Mansell (who the crazy person ran directly in front of, BTW) in none other then, you guessed it, a Ferrari. So if I had nickel for every time a Ferrari won a race involving a track invasion, I'd be 30 cents richer. Its not mind blowing, but its rather nutty how often "Track Invasion" and "Ferrari" go together.

@chl0e1977 Год назад

2020 Bahrain is the exception. A marshall crossed the track with a fire extinguisher in front of Lando Norris. That race was like Kyalami 77, Watkins Glen 73-74 and 73 Zandvort put togheter. Thankfully no one died.

I remember watching this live on the TV - by coincidence they went to a pre-planned ad break just as it happened (James Allen had already said "we'll be back after the break", then you just saw a split second of the guy on the track running towards the cars and heard Allen shouting "OH NO!" before it cut to the ad break). I was convinced when it came back after the ad break they were going to give us some terrible news! Also, while social media wasn't around in the form of facebook and twitter in those days, there were still plenty of F1 forums around, I remember discussing F1 on the Planet F1 forum as early as the 2002 season!

(seeing 9/11 live on TV as a kid, as well as having high school history classes include a lot of brutal war/genocide footage - both real and Hollywood - has slightly messed up my brain's ability to be shocked by death the way it probably should be) To make matters worse, unlike most of the others I've seen, I wasn't expecting it, I was going through the season documentaries about the 70's on F1TV. They could really benefit from putting a severe injury or death disclaimer on the relevant documentaries and archived broadcasts, especially as most of the content is completely safe.

Here’s an idea for a Silverstone redesign. I’m not sure how runoff would be sorted but if it could be done, it go like this: Starting on old pit straight, copse corner unchanged, maggots becomes fast left hand kink leading up to the old becketts similar to how it was pre 1991, but becketts itself is tightened, into a 2nd or 3rd gear hairpin. Chapel becomes another left hand link leading onto hangar straight. For Stowe, people probably won’t like this, but it becomes a complex similar to Bahrain turns 1-3, making DRS viable down hangar, and a good overtaking opportunity. Vale and club complex remains unchanged, and here is where things get different. For abbey, it becomes the fast left hand link it was up until 1993, that further leads into an unchanged bridge corner, then a tightened priory bend, let’s say 2nd or 3rd gear in current cars. Short straight into a brooklands hairpin, 1st gear, then luffield is unchanged. Woodcote unchanged as well, lap is over. Let me know what you think of this layout.

@Nick_Kearney 5 месяцев назад

What I can't get past in the Horan story is this bit, from wiki: "In 2004 he was found not guilty of indecent assault against a seven-year-old girl. Though he did admit that he was naked while the girl tickled him and while they played hide-and-seek, during the court case he also claimed to own only one pair of tight-fitting green satin underpants that have never been washed as he needs them to 'always be ready for use', at one point Horan produced the pants from his pocket to show the jury."

And there were Extinction Rebellion people at Silverstone this year nearly getting run over by F1 drivers. I'm surprised none of them got curb stomped quite frankly I don't know why Max and Bernie had it in for Silverstone. The chaos in 2000 was because it was given the Race 4 slot at an inappropriate time of year and then it got criticism the next year despite the organisers doing everything in their power to deliver because Bernie couldn't arrive on time. The two of them did do some good when they ran F1 but at times they could be utter lightpoles

He should've been put under psychiatric evaluation and institutionalized as soon as the F1 race ended as contrary to the Mercedes employee this guy was clearly a basket case - proven later on in many other occasions that would have been avoided if he were to be locked in a asylum for crazy people (or whatever it's called).

I remember some drunken idiot running across the track in a NASCAR race at Pocono. Doing that at an F1 race is crazy enough, but doing it on a high speed oval like Pocono is nuttier still. I don't know much about Silverstone, but being familiar with Pocono, it's a 2.5 mile track in the middle of a roaring wilderness, so it's probably impossible to completely secure the perimeter without hiring an army. I've also seen deers crossing the track at Pocono, but unlike Tom Pryce, if a NASCAR car hit someone crossing the track at 200 MPH, the driver would survive, the car would be wrecked and the track crosser would be in more pieces than the unfortunate Jansen van Vuuren.

Him being the director of Hungaroring was well aware the scrutiny a circuit has to pass. Although Silverstone might have got a more preferable treatment. One more thing: the reporter from the pit lane said about the craziness of jumping around on the Hangar Straight that even when a car passes him in the pit lane at 80kph his heart still skips a beat because of the noise and the wind so he can't imagine what it's like to be there.

Everyone fell over themselves that day to say "The car in front is a Toyota!" Would have been the thumbnail for WTF1's Best Reactions video, in an alternate universe. The Pryce incident is in graphic detail on the Brunswick Season Review, and has a graphic content warning on F1TV. I originally saw this review on ESPN Classic - remember that? - and it was blurred out. Sky went further and freeze framed beforehand when they aired it. Got it on DVD this year, no such luck. Awful. Footage of the protestors this year was briefly captured on the cameras of those dragging battered vehicles back to the pits.

The small crowd around him were obviously annoyed and embarrassed by him, to the point where someone actually spat on his arm. The young kid who didnt really know what was happening thought this was highly amusing and started laughing very excitedly.

I do remember watching that race! It was the second year I was following F1. I believe it was Webber in the Jaguar who pulled out to give that maniac a bit of a juke.

I’ve always wondered if that piece of the track, the bridge section, could come back and or be used again. I don’t think runoff would be an issue, as the track is literally a former airfield. You might need to do some resurfacing and move a grandstand or two, but I think nothing major would need to be done to bring it up to standards. The track also is literally just chilling there, waiting to be used again. I’m not sure though and I am interested in hearing other opinions.

Ted: "That used to be quite common, you know? The favourite son would become a doctor, and the idiot brother would be sent off to the priesthood." Dougal: "Your brother is a doctor, isn't he?" Ted: "Yes" ... This bit of Fr. Ted is too true. I love Kerry, the scenery, the people, their obsession with one sport and one sport only, Gaelic Football. (Kerry is in Munster. There are 6 counties in Munster. I can't name one famous Kerry rugby player, and yet Munster are a serious rugby team!) They do vote for nutters though. They call Kerry The Kingdom, I like to think it's because they are their own brand of Irish. Kerrygold butter is the nicest butter I've ever tasted anywhere in the world. I did not know Fr. Attention-seeker had such far-right leanings but it does not surprise me, That whole organisation is a grim front for evil people pretending to be good. Their grip on the Irish people was loose (gone really) by 2003. Too many scandals in the 90's, and this whackadoodledoo isn't in the top 50. 20 years on and I still get angry remembering what he did to that marathon runner at the Olympics.

I had the pleasure of performing a 'stop & search' on this chap at the 2004 Trooping the Colour. He was on a list of possible agitators to be aware of, and was definitely 'equipped' for making a scene. Anyway, having established who he was (not difficult 😅), he was passed off to some colleagues who led him up to Trafalgar Square and away from the parade, whilst i got to go back to standing still on The Mall 😂 It was the morning after my wedding day later in the year when sat at breakfast, I saw the sports pages and the report on his antics at the Olympics and had a 'what if?' moment.

@GregBrownsWorldORacing Год назад

Yes, in a way the Priest on track is kind of like the Tom Pryce fatalities, you can't unsee them. I got up early, again, to watch the British GP as all good American F1 fans did. I believe it was on ESPN back then too. For 1977, it was TV antennas, so no coverage. I did enjoy hearing all the mischief the priest got into. I thought he was a one hit wonder. Far from it, I guess he was skimming from the offering plate to fund his Globe trotting. This man of god is like a street preacher on steroids. I wonder if anyone in the history of history has been converted by a street preacher?

@hectorzambrano4092 Год назад

I'm gonna be real honest here, I'm kind of a religious person myself. I do like learning about the things God has done for us and all that, as well as spreading the "word of God" and learning about the Bible, but to learn about a priest doing this kind of tom foolery........... OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NOT WHAT GOD MEANT LMAO! It's a good thing to spread his word or whatever, but not like this lol! And also to hear about him saying that stuff about Hitler being a "good guy" and God's "servant" or whatever, lowkey made me cringe down to the core. Honestly I sort of laughed more than rather be feeling in disgust, because it's what I don't get: people doing rather dumb things to "get this, get that" spread into humanity.

@caseysmith544 Год назад

I remember the one at Athens in 2004, the spectator basically flattened him and sat on him until officials came out.The Ruling the Brazilians want was for previous things like this at the Olympics Marathon, but when they happened it was that the Olympic Marathon event was never considered a true competitive event unalike track events (despite runners making the Marathon distance event so outside the Olympics in Boston, Yonkers, or a few other events in Europe) until after WWII in the 1950's, a few prior to WWII timing of the Olympic Marathon was done so the racers could finish just before the Olympic closing ceremonies like about 1--2 hours before for most of the finishers.

@melkaman8200 Год назад

I don't know about the British coverage, but in the US, the Speed Channel went to a commercial just before this happened, so I went into the kitchen to do something and all of a sudden my dad starts yelling for me to hurry back and see what's going on. They came out of commercial showing a replay of the guy running down the track. By then, the announcers (Rick DeBruhl, David Hobbs, and Steve Matchett) had a few seconds to calm down and report on it as opposed to live, but the most interesting reaction to me was my dad getting all ticked off that the Safety Car was deployed for a full-course caution and what that would do to the race and the driver positions. I remember thinking: "That's what gets your attention, the Safety Car?"

@jordza2k11 Год назад

Barrichello gets criminally undervalued in history because of the fact he was the Michaels teammate, unlike other number 2s of great drivers he could have actually been champion himself, Bottas? nope, Perez? I'd love to say yes but I can't, Irvine? not a chance, Massa? hi Timo Glock otherwise I can't see it, Webber is an exception but because being an Aussie they don't give a shit in the best way. But the fact he got an ASBO, something little chavs used to try and get but then he turned up on BGT... Horans one of the most interesting stories that involves racing but in the worst way

I watched this Race on Premiere here in Germany and although the english Commentary for this is kinda legendary, the german commentary is awesome too :D Jacques Schulz going nuts calling this guy 'insanely life threatening' and repeating the words of his colleague Mark Surer that the Safety Car has to be out there in double the volume is fantastic. Jaqcues always was very passionate with his commentary, i loved him :)

@kevinprior3549 Год назад

I remember British GP in 2003. When that idiot ran out onto the track I thought it was a steward slowing everyone down. But then I realise it was an Irish protester. He also disrupted the men's marathon in the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

As a repeat note (because I tend to mention it every time Tom Pryce and other "cannot unsee" driver fatalities come up), I'll not only reiterate that Pryce's accident is one of those ones you do *not* want to look up, but that if you ever come across the footage of Russell Phillips's fatal accident at Charlotte Motor Speedway, for god's sake, don't watch it. It's... honestly, I think it's even more horrific than the footage of Pryce's accident. That's one that haunts my nightmares to this day.
