How embarassing! A 120d!!! Some people will try and race in anything!
NB: 120 litres @ BMW's official combined 58.9 MPG (= 4.8 litres / 100km) = 1500 miles or 2500km !!!!
OK I know he ain't going to quite match those figures, but he was clearly fuelled for a ridiculously long stint if the 120 litres is true.

Oh dear. The race should have been stopped before they all started piling in really. That's the problem with such a big race track!

Not quite match indeed. - probably getting around 10 mpg in race trim (at best)

I'd be pretty pi$$ed if it was me coming around that corner and then after passing the 'crash'.......coming around the corner to see that pileup getting closer..VERY quickly!!!

Some idiots though just ignoring the fact there had been a crash and coming too fast. Large number of cars did make it through because of sensible driving!

Totally agree. However, it seemed that there was no prewarning of the severity of the pileup after the first crash. As said earlier, didn't seem to be any marshalls.
Its just horrible to watch so many skidding off.

Here's my missus throwing caution to the wind - She's in the dark blue car that squeezes past the light blue one involved in the big smash.
