They started the race behind the Safety Car this year rather than the usual grid start. It did make for a safer start but was not as much fun as previous years. It was safer than a rolling start which the organisers said they would never do and for this race format I tend to agree.
Here is the first lap from onboard my car (Toyota MR2 Roadster)

And this is quick 80 secs of race footage which I think typified the Birkett Experience.

The race was not without incident however with the Safety Car doing 94 minutes, more than most drivers!
What happened with that crash with the Radical and the BMW? The Radical was running closely with another one when they passed the previous lap.
It's quite difficult to see them coming with them being low, and even more difficult to see the second one if it's close behind another car.

There is a little column in Autosport this week and it has some information on this particular incident. The Radical driver was Charles Harvey-Kelly and after a careful and lengthy extraction, and treatment at Silverstone's medical centre, he was transferred to Coventry Hospital where he was treated for "severe head injuries". My very best wishes to Charles and I hope he makes a full recovery.I don't personally understand why there is a concrete wall, without a layer of tyres, in what is fairly close proximity to the track.
Chris.
