Glad the driver is OK, but I was more worried about the marshals

That is one of the nastiest offs that I have ever seen. Glad that the driver and flaggers are OK - that could have been very bad. It looks like he just went straight off and did not try to spin it in the gravel or slow it down at all.

Good thing nobody was in the Porta John. That would have been a thrilling thing.

Humourous that the BMW had a flying off, past the front of the BMW billboard.

Amazing that the marshalls managed to get away in time.
