Seat Leon SuperCup Horror Crash at Brands Hatch

[BuckMR2]

A horror crash at Sunday's Seat Leon SuperCup at Britain's Brands Hatch racecourse has amazingly resulted in no serious injuries.

The touring car racing series was shaken when Francisco Carvalho made contact with an opponent, sending the Portuguese driver gambolling over the barrier.

Marshals and spectators alike had to flee the scene as his car shattered in a spiral of debris, before finally coming to a halt.

Amazingly only 6 people needed treatment, most for shock and none of them, including the driver, received serious injury.

Blimey, that's a bad one, it's always a serious worry when it gets to the spectator area, it was quite lucky that it had past the main bunch of spectators before it bounced the fence, 'cos they didn't really move much, just kinda threw themselves backwards. Naturally the spectators don't expect things like that to happen, but it does, every race circuit has little signs near that little wire fence saying Warning Motorsport Is Dangerous, boy did that turn out be true that time!
As a marshal I've seen worse and had to run for my life too a few times, but that's right up there - ya know, you don't even have time to soil your underwear!
Thanks for the clip !
