what the fuck. He is one lucky guy because behind that wall is nothing. Nothing except a 15 meter drop into the paddock area.

Very strange incident there. He was wide into the Bus Stop then went straight off there.

He admitted that he was too hot into the pits - driver error

LMAO. No wonder teammate Von Thurn & Taxis deserted to get himself drunk later on.

He's one of the "listed, never drove" guys

Second Blancpain Reiter went out in style as well - huge blow up going down the old mainstraight

Also LOL at the marshal @ 2.07 in that vid, trying to chase that Ferrari to stop him from entering the pits (or something else, not actually sure what he's trying).

Here's the Kirkaldy aftermath



As you can see rescue operations made it look like a very serious accident. I was really worried, luckily he only got knocked out.

I can't really see it, but Wolfgang Haugg in the black BMW which hit the McLaren said later in the race that he couldn't do anything about it. "The McLaren just steered right into me"

Thought I had all the scenarios covered but I never expected this to have happened to that Lamborghini...

The onboard Marcel posted seems to say differently.

Really? The BMW is following the racing line at that point and Kirkaldy moves to the left according to me.
The McLaren was lapping the BMW, so he should make sure that he's making a clear and safe pass

McLarens fault. Not much can be debated about it, lol.

Can't take the racing line if there's a car there. Haugg went right before Kirkaldy went less to the left, there was something he could have done he's not entirely blameless.

I think you also spotted him while the bastard was driving the leading Lamborghini-car ahead of the Lambo Trofeo start.

Bastard.

Great, great pictures. The long exposure one looking towards Raidillion and the endurance straight is awesome, haven't seen much people do a picture like that before.
