Anyone got any news on the crash at GTI International today?

Seat Leon, lost control on 1/4 mile, through the barrier and into the crowd. Air ambulance was called, that's about all I know!

Trying to get in touch with few mates that been down all weekend.

Mate is there said 3 people have been put in hospital. Apparently the Leon had a snap off steering wheel which came off and went through 2 sets of barriers

Them barriers look a bit mickey mouse considering the speed cars will get to.

Accident waiting to happen perhaps.

Why the hell are people saying 'don't post the footage on here, it's or the police to review'

It not really, Motorsport is dangerous. I'm sure it's nothing to do with the police as its technically not an RTA. I'm sure the guy feels shit enough anyway, without being accused of dangerous driving all over the shop!

Yeah I agree, the rumour at the show was that the driver hadn't fitted the snap off wheel correctly.

Police have to attend to make sure it wasn't an intentional act or there wasn't any foul play.

Probably just makes them look bad if footage of it comes out and its on their watch.

They should have checked the car, they should have had more barriers, they should have blah blah hindsight is a wonderful thing.

If anyone has anything and wants it hosting I'll do it, not to worried about a ban if that is their policy.

I would think the organisers feel just as bad as the guy in the car.

Any news on the injured people?
