This is terribly distressing to watch (apologies in advance to anyone offended)

Apparently the race continued with the car and occupant covered over.
There was even a muted podium 'ceremony'

Head bowed in silent contemplation...

That is an amazingly moving piece.
A truly heroic action by David Purley when the so called marshalls did so little. :(

Is that a dig at football? Do you think there's never been any tragedies in a football ground? Do you think no footballer has ever died on a pitch? :rolleyes:
Stick to the topic in hand please.

that just made me angry.. the way the marshals just stood there while his team-mate does all he can to save him. I'd heard of this incident before but never seen the footage.
I totally agree, I would be screaming at them to get a move on, jesus ! and why did the other cars just keep driving by and not stop to help, rather than 'rubber necking' wheres the compassion for your fellow drivers!!
