Scooby Booby!

Northern monkeys is definitely correct. "Fookin' ell". Hilarious.

In fairness, I would not want to be hard on the brakes in that section, in any car. But I certainly would never want to be in a Subaru with a big rear spoiler. Yikes.

You must be a northerner :whistle:

Ha ha, hell no, :hahaha:
looked to be enough marshalls there, just not doing their job to a decent standard :hahaha:

No question the scooby drivers were pushing their luck with tunnel vision and limited ability, however, with better safety measures in place- guys like them would have less chance of causing such issues

I think both incidents in question were the cause of bad marshalling rather than not enough marshalls.

It's a public toll road, if we want Marshall's and safety we should choose track days?

What's the general consensus

I feel people forget that it is a public toll road, and when we drive there fast, we do so with blind faith.

That is the official line i guess- but they make alot of money from letting us blast round there as fast as we dare, so they should invest some of it on better training for the marshalls resulting in safer days for us,- the paying public.

It's clear to me, they need to put a warning flag out in time for people to be able to slow down-there would be better safety employed on any other public toll road where workers are on the road imho..

Look on the upside it could have been a repeat of the accident that happened slightly further back a couple of years ago ~8 to 10 cars involved all because the warning signs were in the wrong place ie not early enough.

Anyone know the outcome of the one two years ago? There must have been some attempts to recover from the Nurburgring.

Have to agree with Shim the other Cars where not looking ahead; blinkered driving but all lucky not to have a nasty accident and ruining the Holiday / Weekend so all ends well (except for some trousers :hahaha: )

In fairness, it was the old merc that looked to be pulling over that instigated that lot. Scooby driver did well not to hit anyone.
I was a passenger in an M5 and we nearly collected a tour bus from the Netherlands in a similar way :banghead:

i disagree

first scooby stopped ok, rest were too busy looking and chasing his tail rather than looking a but further away.
