Calm&Chill reaction to "wheelie over the crest" at 1:45 , Quickly checks rearview mirror hoping someone was on his tail to witness and verify that Yes,infact both front wheels left the ground but there were no witness's this day..Too fast.

Poor marshalling. It gives a lack of confidence for future racing there.

Like they say, it's not the impact, it's the sudden deceleration!

If this whole thing was caused because they wanted to "black flag" "few" drivers that were bunched up with other none "black flag" drivers, than I have no reason to race again. Clearly caused by marshals and then the drivers who wanted to pit even though they missed the pit. Wild.

Who the heck intentionally stops "on line" (hot track) ?!! Racing 101 states emphatically that when you're on track -- it is ALWAYS active. Even under a yellow it's still active. That said, even IF it were a black flag situation, you move offline and decrease speed gradually. And you stop off track unless otherwise instructed by track officials. Glad all were ok but that is definitely an outrageous move by a novice.

What are you filming with. 9 hrs. and seemingly no hicups/bad batterys/corrupt sd...Please dont say gopro, lol!

Why did you not go for the gap on the right side of the other car? There was plenty of room to avoid the incident.

Welp….that sucks…😢😢.

When i started to watch this vid, knowing it was Lime Rock, i was sure it happened at uphill blind corner (knowing that cars are losing some grip there), but stopping on the track middle of main straight? it is enough to deserve ban from online race...

Bad day at the track. It can happen to the best.

He had a clear gap to the right??

Same thing happened to Walter Payton years ago between 3 and 5 at Road America. Bob Patchs car completely locked up and came to an immediate stop and Walter ran over the top of his cqr

And this is why racing at this level sucks .. people do all kinds of shit they shouldn’t because they don’t know any better and you suffer the consequences

I know this 🚗 someone drove PCA club race in it😊😊

I'm going with the Jag being at fault for stopping for no reason since he had a clear track in front of him.

How was the day?

I don't have racing experience at all. Would you mind clarifying something for me? From my perspective, it looks like the car could be avoided on the right side. Seems like there's enough room for that. And it appears you started this maneuver but didn't commit to it. Is it difficult to make that maneuver at this speed, or did your brakes lock, so you couldn't turn?

Watching this makes my BLOOD BOIL - WHAT THE FUCK was that guy doing? HOW THE FUCK was he in this session if he's that clueless? He owes you a fucking car and should be banned from racing/track driving for a very, very long time. HOLY SHIT that is just unreal that someone could be that incredibly dangerous and ignorant and yet be in a racing car. TERRIFYING.

Man, that is some buuullshit.

That was nasty. Glad everyone was okay.

But there was a hole to the right and a slippery one to the left. It looked like he though about it then went back to his original line. Which wasn't the best of the three options to me...

Why would anyone stop on the racing line for a BLACK flag???

Its up to the car behind to avoid that.

This is the sort of thing you expect from 'track day' wankers!

It loked to me.like.he slammed on the brakes as he was about to pass by the entrance to the pits, kike when you are about to miss your turn on the streets and you slam in the brakes to make that turn...but on a track, especially when youre in a cluster of cars (which in this case theres NO WAY that driver didn't realize he was in) its better to take the victory lap then go from 90 to 15mph on track! Hope the repairs aren't crazy expensive.

always dodge, never stop that's my moto, so far working out pretty good for 20 years

Why did he not go in between?????????????????????????????????????????????????

He didnt have time to react, bad place for a stopped car

Black flag held visibly applies to everyone. General rule is slow down pit in first available opportunity. Black flag pointed at YOU, means come in next pit, because you're the infraction. Red flag means bring car to a controlled but immediate stop, preferably near a flag station off line and await further communication.

Did the Jag driver get a Rubber Necking infraction for that insane move?

Even if there had been a red flag (which I certainly did not see) you pull off the racing line and preferably off the racing surface before stopping. Jag 100% at fault here.

Why the hell did everyone stop?

How comes they all practically come to a stop on one of the fastest sections of the track?

Probably the dumbest thing I have ever seen in racing.

Main thing is, everyone lived to tell the tale👍🏼

Bonehead move on the part of the Jag driver to stop on line in the middle of the straight. While that undoubtedly left the camera car in a bad situation, there were also opportunities to avoid the contact.

No matter the flags. The track is OPEN! Cars are on track at speed. Until you exit the track, your focus is where are cars around you. Focus forward through the turn up the track where you are going If your going to slow down or need to stop, GET To The SIDE Of THE TRACK!!!! Cars are at Speed and assume what if they don't see you slowing???! The Jaguar driver stopped in the racing line I hope is not racing any more. Lucky they are not dead. The Z camera car also failed to LOOK UP TRACK. Failed to recognize caution and failed to ease up and prepare for a car doing exactly what he encountered. He's also lucky to be alive. I'm sure both drivers loose sleep replaying these moments and both have only them selves to blame for not being track smart. ⚠️Fortunate to be alive ⚠️ I'm 72 with 42 years of on track experience. Always anticipate situations until you remove your helmet, even in the pits/paddock.

I think the Jaguar is to blame for coming to a dead stop in the racing line but the driver in the Z should have slowed up sooner too. Unfortunate situation, glad all are ok!

Yikes! I remember being there and seeing quite a few people running to see what happened after only 1/2 the cars came around the track the next lap.

Great start!

You should wait a bit more before live streaming.

I was not there, but from the video I can see: 1. Yellow flag at West Bend )Old station 9) for a car off Driver's Left. 2. Black Flag was displayed and then pulled in at The Bridge (Old station 10). I would not call that a "displayed Black for the Z driver. I didn't see a # board. (I recall the official Black Flag station was moved to before the uphill years ago.) 3. I do not see a flag at The Downhill, driver's left (old station 11). Incident is before the flag station at Pit In (old 12) which is not seen. I see no flag motion at Start/Finish. To me, the course is GREEN. The Jag's brake lights are ON. The Jag driver's arm is not UP or waving, signaling driver's behind of sudden slowing. You can't fully blame the Z driver. Things at Lime Rock happen very quickly.

I was in this race 1 car length and on the inside of mark coming down the hill Mark and I were shown NO FLAGS, we were still racing... this whole group in front of us was racing very tightly, THEY were shown black flags, there was a car that dove for the pit lane after coming off the hill which partially obstructed our view, also please take into account coming off the hill there are a few things happening... you are coming down off a steep hill turning right, the perspective of how fast the cars to your right and below you gets skewed and assessing the sudden traffic directly IN front of you! my initial and immediate reaction was that there had been an accident, I assumed the Jag had spun and happened to be pointing down the track and unfortunately still on the racing line there were 3 or 4 cars trying to get to pit in. Cluster fuck is appropriate term for this situation. The flagging this particular weekend was not good to put it mildly, I have been black flagged once in my 14 years of racing, the flagger held the black flag with one hand leaned way out of the flagging station and pointed at ME with the other hand as I drove by it was quite obvious that it was ME that had gone afoul of the rules... That is how you black flag one car in a group. I love this sport, we have all been through rigorous training to do what we do, and to the credit of the sanctioning bodies that run these events we are very rarely physically hurt and we ALWAYS HAVE FUN!!! the apparent lack of flagger training was a topic of discussion amongst the drivers this weekend.

Thank God everyone is safe! Lessons learned… Everybody, take note and let’s get back to that exhilarating high speed and dangerous fun we all enjoy!!! Hopefully in a better and safer way!!! Best of luck to all.

Doing this in a video game would get you yelled at why are these people doing it in real life where there are peoples lives, safety, and fat stacks of cash at risk.

What was that jag driver doing exactly?

Why were all of the cars except the camera car slowed and exiting the track?

Who stops on the racing line in the middle of the track!?!

dont feel alone over this we get this stuff almost every weekend here in the uk as well,my pet peev is the lets drive around at 20mph looking lost when they safety car is deployed during the race ploy! or lets pull up on the grid when i see a flag i dont understand stunt, ps next time you see the dick with the jag tell him he,s a complete cock ok
