Porsche GT Cup crash from Knockhill this morning.....

[Col 666]

Just glanced up while changing lenses this afternoon and saw this Porsche trying to take the Seat curves without braking, He must have hit the foam barrier at well over 100mph which luckily propelled him backwards into the gravel and not forwards towards a packed embankment. Dan the photographer in the first shot was uninjured as was the driver!









Colin.

We were just getting settled in down at Scotsman when this happened, camera was still tucked away in the bag, good that everyone was ok too

Geezzz, great capture and glad all was OK. It’ll all polish out with a bit of Vim for sure!

Thats a great guy called Dan Jess, been a motorsport photographer for years and had many a close shave although I think todays was maybe the closest! He was fine once he got the air fence off his head!

Bloody hell, that must have been a little frightening for the guy to the right!!!

Hmmmmm


I've been very very near that place before at over 100mph




Glad to hear no-one was hurt

Yes, very scary. Nice pics too. Good to see how well the car took the damage (even tho it was awfully bent after!)

Fine once he'd got clean pants on
