One of the biggest crashes I've seen in a while at Oulton Park yesterday in the first round of the British GT Championship... The driver (Hunter Abbott) was tapped at the top of the hill and into the barrier, proceeding to roll over it several times before going up in flames. Amazingly he was able to get out of the car himself, and only suffered minor burns...
Made it into the national papers!

Amizing shots.

Wowzers - crazy crash - great shots as well. Best of all, he walked away (relatively) unharmed.

Well done. Very scary flames. Did you get any of the flames being put out or of the driver getting out?

That is very scary! I think most race drivers would agree that fire is their #1 fear, good to know he was ok

Good timing,
unfortunate that the need for a watermark covers the car so much.
I understand the need for a watermark - I just think its a bit tough the way it is.
Good thing the Drive made it out..
