No excuses can come close to covering the idiocy behind this major foh-pa !!!!!

its now official, that it wasn't a mistake by saftycar driver. it was coming from race control who told the sc driver to stay on the track because there was an oreca stopping on straight. but although they switched the lights to green...

That's what I read from nogripracing.com

Yeah that has to be it. When yellows are waving like that on the start straight and pace car is on track this mess is the starter's fault. Marshalls and SC driver just doing their jobs.

Someone is going to be losing their job without a doubt on that incident. I would imagine that the track is going to be responsible for the repair costs on those cars though not sure what they are going to do to make up for the potential position losses that they will suffer for the standings.

If SC is supposed to stay out, then he should NOT turn off his lights... It's a Co-Op-Mess

 

[Dave Stephenson]

thats insane

I've seen better starts in an SCCA Regional Spec Racer Ford race.

Dont the SC turn of the lights with 1 lap to go till GF? Anyways if you look at 1.14 on the video the Full course caution was out before the race even started. It should of been a similar start to Brazil 2003/Korea 2010 (Race should of started under SC conditions but as a rolling start instead of a standing start)

this better be some kind of April fools thingy

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Did the SC get a penalty?

 

[Claudio Gandolfi]

is it the ex-WTCC safety car driver?

Obviously this one

 

[Chris Butcher]

Awesome!
