Easier to list who wasn't in it.....

We cut to an absolutely smashed Shredded Wheat Ford Focus then most of the grid piled into it over the course of the next 30 seconds to a minute

Replays!

*Edit* :Fucking shot of the chicane trying to work out maybe Davenport lost his oil pan, that's it.

Considering how long that incident seemed to last, I don't know why drivers were still coming around that quickly.

I don't think this is time for the blame game, with that amount of Oil/water on the track, they probably had zero chance to do anything about it.
Very reminiscent of the clio oil pile ups at Thruxton's chicane

It seems at least 3 drivers are off to hospital, what an awful incident.

Having been cut out of a race car myself once, the "good" news is that with any luck it's usually mostly precautionary. Davenport and Smith will hopefully be mostly ok, I doubt Taylor-Smith will be allowed to run tomorrow if he lost consciousness even for a moment.

Dunno about BTCC but in Indycar you're sat out for a week if you lose consciousness.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

The left hand side of Jeff Smith's car must look as bad as Davenport's car. Terrible accident.

That looked terrible. Hopefully all the drivers are ok, and that most of those cars can be repaired for tomorrow. At least two looked absolutely destroyed. :(
