Brands Hatch in a Polo

to return to the paddock at brands from the pitlane you need to pass the marshals and go right along the upper exit road.
one assumes thats what the pit exit marshal thought and then they went straight up the pit exit to the track.
getting into the pit lane at a brscc 4 hour fun cup race isnt hard , or any other club meeting being honest , i gaurantee it now will be .

F*CKING C*NT.
It wasn't even his f**king car. I hope, seriously hope, that he got nicked for that escapade.
Looks like he just straight up drove past the marshals before they could stop him.

Was it red flagged, im guessing it would be, if i was some of the teams i would have dragged them out the car
just to clear up speculation this is from someone my wife knows who was running 2 cars , the incident happened 3hr.30 into a 4hr race
Quote: Just to stop all the "is it fake " comments, we where running two cars in this race and can confirm this happened. It was an idiotic act by an attention seeking [Censored] . The chaos this caused was a nightmare. We had run 3 1/2 hours of a four hour race when this happened. It was so unexpected that you kind of understand why it took the marshals (and all of us!) by surprise. You could see by the shock of the organisers that this was a totally new situation .
Questions were and will need to be answered on how this could have happened. To be fair to the MSA and Brands Hatch. The red flag and the event was brought to a halt within a matter of seconds of the car getting on to the circuit. The "t***s" involved were held for over an hour after the event and the car seized for a period of time. What the result of this was, I don't know but and MSA official on the day told me that the driver of the car was known to the local police. I can only presume from this, that this incident has been taken further

I wonder what law they'd be done under? I'm not sure if we have a reckless endangerment law over here?
Clio Cup
Im not fully versed so this is a pure guess
but couldnt it be "driving without due care and attention" or "dangerous driving" not with regards the location - but the fact the polo is a road car - surely its the same kind of law that applies to some numpty pulling handbrake turns in a tesco car park ??

I wouldn't have thought that the Road Traffic Act would apply on a racetrack otherwise everyone would get points left right and centre. Tesco's car park is different as it's directly accessible from the road and meant for the public to drive on.

Good point - Maybe they should have left it in the hands of the Drivers and Teams that were competing that day , that were put in danger and had their race cut short

I'd have liked to see the guy complete a lap. On foot. During a truck race.

Not a public road and no implied access so RTA does not apply. Quite honestly I don't know what he could be nicked for, a ropey twoc perhaps as he quite clearly didn't have her permission to drive it when she was begging him to stop.
What a jebend. I live really close to Brands and go quite regularly, always mongs there unfortunately.

Road traffic act doesn't apply as it's not deemed to be a public road or place. Tesco car park is different as although it's private property it's still deemed to be a public place as it has implied access to the public.
The only offence I can think of would be trespassing which is a civil offence ie not arrestable.
There might be some health and safety law that was broken but I know f**k all about that legislation.
Until I'm proven wrong I'm very, very sceptical. One in-car vid, one suspect external Youtube vid. He was held, but now police are looking for him? Doesn't make any sense.
No comment from anyone that matters in the sport, despite this being a huge thing if true. No comments on the UKs biggest marshalling forum, nothing from any of the photographers there that I can see yet.

commentating on a car race and he doesn't know the difference between a golf and a polo :/
pretty odd if he gets away squat free after something like this!

Link?
I genuinely felt very sorry for the girl. She was clearly panicking.
Hopefully she realised she was with an absolute chief after that.

Link? The fail mobile site is a pain in the arse to browse
Its clearly setup. I think it was filmed over two days. I am sure the people are all actors and the facebook pages are fake. Also the line that white polo takes suggests a professional driver. Looks a bit like the stig to me. Maybe top gear team involved?

I can tell you it was not fake my man. I know people who were competing in the race at the time.
