@realitygaming4088 throttle stuck fully open! Very scary stuff eh!!

Not sure how you expect the direction change to be possible on the grass at that speed?

Turning it off would of done nothing

@richardarthur4024 scary scenario. Could of been worse depending on the position of the other vehicle

i mean, strategic tyre barrier would have prevented that, i'm sure there are reasons.

@@tensevo Well catch-fencing was added in that spot recently

It's racing that's the risk you take having a crash, it wasn't like she thought I'm going to kill the person in the red today

For having a car failure?

This isn't Forza Motorsport mate. It was clearly brake failure.

Obviously never been to a race

Apparently stuck throttle, needed to find neutral but Audi probably was DCT automatic and can be much harder to find neutral in a panic situation than a manual.

I haven't thought about it before,Your comment taught me something new ✌️

Who told you this, and when? The term 'neutralised' sounds snazzy, but, unless the track is empty, there's some risk, and the situation is not neutral. Yellow flags indicate that cars should be aware of an incident and not race past the portion affected, and it takes moments to put them into effect. Safety Cars can take minutes to gather in the field, and cars still crash or lose control behind Safety Cars. If every crash engenders an instant red flag, this will not reduce the likelihood of crashes per mile raced (probably quite the opposite), but it will drastically reduce the miles raced. These blokes seemed to start helping while flags were already waving, and, as long as they don't add peril or hindrance to others, it's ultimately for them to weigh the risk that they will take against the benefit they can offer.

A near text book response from the marshalls in my opinion. Proud of my orange colleagues. I wish all the best to both drivers and both cars.

@@influentialgurning one of the race directors from the Nürburgring told us this as we made our marshal license. yes if there is single yellow waved, the driver will step from the throttle a couple of a second because he will not loose time. Single yellow is mostly no secure for the saftey of a marshal, when he steps on the track. if there is double yellow, especially on the Nordschleife, the drivers are only allowed to drive 120 kph. that makes it a bit safer but we get the order from the race direction not to step out on the track until we have for example Code 60 on the Nordschleife. When the Car is burning and there is no C60, whe are not allowed to help. at the end of the day, the driver takes the risk of dying while racing, when he gets into the car. thats the bad trough. you as a marshal are for your own Security responsible. would you step out on the track, while the cars are racing on the track? when there is a rally car or so wich only one car is driving, its clear to help but at an endurance race, its much more difficult. you dont get much paid as a marshal, in Germany its a voluntary job. the official rule to help is: "secure first with flags", "then report the incident, "then help", when its safe. if you wish, i can send you a link to the marshal Manual.

@@ronny_doeschner That's interesting. As you explain, it's important for race workers and racers to understand any common procedures, so that useful operations aren't interrupted by confusion. Bearing this in mind, it's fundamentally important to leave as much latitude as is possible with each worker or participant to make decisions according to his judgement. In life generally, the first inviolable principle must be always to sustain sinless liberty. In a closed and basically private system like a race track event, the owners of the facility can set any rule they want as long as they don't wilfully commit harm, and, in my opinion, it would be daft if marshals and drivers weren't drilled by a director of operations on obedience to signals like flags. At the other extreme, under the guise of perfecting safety or improving entertainment, a rule could easily be made commanding every slightest action taken by anybody involved on-track. My point was to guard against that latter extreme, which, sadly, we are creeping closer towards, at the expense of autonomy. We should rely on our own senses and reason as much as possible, and limit the use of rules so as to only make mutual actions (to which each individual agrees to adhere) as effective as possible. The video was a good example of differing opinions about behaviour, as you and I slightly disagree about the risk that can be taken and who bears it. I agree that racers own the consequences of the danger to which they knowingly submit, but I think that marshals can be left to make decisions to help without all of the restrictions that you prescribe. Above all, we each must decide with what we agree and disagree, and we should avoid falsely perceiving that rules hold authority and sagacity simply because they exist as rules widely obeyed. You happen to agree with the Nürburg Manual, and, so, you can become a marshal. Were you to disagree with the Manual, your reasonable options would be to suggest alterations and to avoid marshalling until the Manual matches your mindset. In England, at this track, it seems that what they have agreed may not align with your view of the German procedure. It's good that we maintain discussion at all levels to find out what works best, and never rest on someone else's laurels.

no you diddnt dude, it dosent work like that does it.. youve got no memory of the impact because you were concussed or suffered an electrical fault at the moment of impact that switched your brain off

@@chrisjames7803 Thanks for explaining that what I already knew anyway. I only didn't explain it like that be cause I thought that saying that I had a blackout would be sufficient.

@georgejacob3162 you diddnt black out, you were KNOCKED OUT. Both are completely unrelated, only similarity is your unconscious

@@chrisjames7803 Notice the words 'BEFORE impact' in my original post? With emphasis on the word 'before'.

Last year seemed pretty bad too. There were some pretty major incidents when I was at various meets in 2023.

Throttle pedal stayed on the floor.

@@georgejacob3162 ouch. Thanks for the reply

Surly you would push in the clutch ram it Down the box or or put it in neutral

​@@wobbler6372Just like surely the space shuttle astronauts should have opened the hatch, put their suits on and jumped out😂😂

@@wobbler6372if it’s a DSG box, it won’t have a clutch.
