La Colombe Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 ...at Oliver's Mount. There have been two serious incidents where motorcycles have crashed into spectators causing many injuries. The organisers of the island's road racing should take heed really, it's just a matter of time before similar happens again here with dire consequences.

Gizo Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Only a matter of time before something similar happens here. And I'm paying for the privilege. Not in my name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoymouse Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Could well be more than just the gold cup getting scrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notwell Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 One that I can think of. It's a danger here IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 only a real danger if you have people on the outside on bend exits, like all those marshals that got skittled up the mountain a few years back. that said the bray hill event also a few years back isn't really on a bend exit but wasn't it a tank slapper??

Max Power Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 There have been spectator deaths and injuries at 'safe' tracks such as Oulton Park amongst others. From what I can gather, the Oliver's Mount incident happened before racing began? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finlo Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'd be more concerned with that Subaru ending up the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristotle Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 It's true. La Colombe posts on a broad range of topics, though not broad enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the roads open car, course car, spectator car. VIP car. You need to be concerned with the fast cars driven by Joe Bloggs, more than the ones driven by highly skilled professional drivers.
