That's a very old skool repair job of the barriers after the previous accidents.

Not in a good way.

Are they really going to continue racing with the barriers like that? Also very old skool.

What's going on today? We only usually have one or two offs there and not often into the barriers.

Well, BTCC-wise, yeah, although that there was that Formula Renault crash the last time I was there - Yamamoto? Also someone died there in a GT race a few years ago

If they restart this, the next person off at Church is dead.

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.

I actually think it's dangerous. Red Flag it.

This is like something from the 60's. Guy in normal clothes just throwing some tyres into a heap, kind of saying 'that'll do'.

Normally no one goes off that far there.

The barrier was never good before the shunts there. I can only think of a few cars reaching the barrier in the 20 years I've been watching btcc, today has been an exceptional day

They just need to redo how the tyres are there. Make them conveyor belt like they are around the rest of the track.

To be fair, it would be difficult to have a crash much worse than Belcher's
