Loon Runs Down Track Tired of ads?

The British Grand Prix is on in the other room... it got completely thrown into chaos on about lap 12 when some idiot got onto the track and ran down the straight with cars coming down towards him at 165mph. How he didn't get killed, I'll never know...

It only happened about five minutes ago...

Lap 12: A spectator finds his way onto track, cars have to try and dodge around him and has to be wrestled to the ground by a marshall before there is an accident.

I'm shocked they didn't kill him or that he didn't cause a crash with people swerving to avoid him.

No word yet on why the muppet decided to run down the track...

quote:
The reputation of the British Grand Prix took another blow when a demonstrater ran on to the track at Silverstone, forcing officials to bring out the safety car.
The man, wearing a kilt and carrying placards, was bundled to the ground by marshals after running on to the track at Chapel corner on lap 11.

Police then arrested the 56-year-old man and charged him with "aggravated trespass".

"The man was detained before the race restarted and he is being spoken to at the moment," said a police spokesman.

Silverstone's managing director Peter Waller immediately launched an official investigation into the track protest.

The circuit has been the subject of harsh criticism over race organisation and facilities from F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone.

He said the incident reflected poorly on Silverstone's security arrangements.

"The safety people will have a look at it," Ecclestone told ITV1. "It means the security wasn't good.

"But you can't stop it when some one does this sort of thing. I don't know what you do about it."

However, he denied would take further action against Silverstone for the incident.

Radio 5 live coverage was good - even had live crossovers to the Williams team radio chats.

The dude was wearing a kilt and apparently also had a flag with him - don't know which one, suspect it might have been a tricolour.

The ITV coverage dramatically cut away to adverts as soon as he was spotted; I was watching with Dad and he was convinced he'd been mown over and that's why they'd cut away. Fundies...
