First Britcar meeting at Oulton and they have scheduled three races the first of ninety minutes to take place before the lunch break and I'm Incidenting at Old Hall - the first corner for those who don't know Oulton.
Cars come out of the pit lane on their Green Flag lap and the next thing we see is a waved yellow at the Out flag point. Both of us look but don't react then the flag marshal beckons us and we find a car nose first to the armco just past the flag point. Driver is not very happy thinks he is out of the race.
Recovery arrives, three of them, because the car has mangled its side and is eventually removed. Almost everyone clears and as we are walking back we notice a broken post - wave recovery vehicle over and Clerks are requested to return. Circuit staff are summoned and post needs replacing before racing can recommence - Lunch is immediately called and 1st race is rescheduled for straight after.
Car is returned to team who manage to make it raceworthy, it is now three coloured as opposed to the original one and is cleared to race.
The car starts a lap down but stops at Knickerbrook because it has run out of fuel on the last lap.
