During a Seat Leon Cupra race at Brands Hatch GP circuit, one driver was taken on a ride that luckily didn't turn ugly. After being tapped on the rear quarter of the car coming over a crested corner at about 120mph, he hits the barrier which sends his car into two end over end rolls followed by a barrel roll before coming to rest in the spectators area! Three marshalls barely managed to get out of the way of the ton of Spanish metal but everybody, including the driver got away unharmed.

The pics of that were in this morning papers.  More car than talent, springs to mind.

That is one cool crash! How lucky are those marshall's though!

Just as lucky as these ones when Kelvin Burt took up parkour in his Porsche 911 as it climbed over the barriers at Thruxton:

The second marshall you see, the one with the blue jacket, was one of my school teachers he got interviewed by the BBC show Accidental Heroes  I think he said it was his first race.

On this video you can see him running away  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hISXvO1TdF8&feature=related
