Ouch.......a surprising amount of filler on the Lister already, another few kilo needed now!

Rear ended by a Mercedes SLS. I wonder if the Lister was running a whiplash claim scam?

What a shame - those guys have some balls to drive such cars in anger eh.

Yes, it is a joy to see. The original photo makes it look dramatic, but it did look quite low speed.

Particularly dangerous as the petrol tank/s situated behind those colander like panels

What's the white line for that goes underneath the Lister....
Do you mean the silver trim on the SLS (which looks white) or the painted white line on the road which looks like the lane to the pits... or something else?

The white line on the track in the first photo under the Lister....

Are there any details on the cause/s of this....?
If he is pitting and assuming he's no fool, why does it look like he was on the wrong side of the pit lane entrance I wonder...

Appears to delineate a slip lane for the pits?? From the first picture the Lister does not appear to have been fully in the lane and may have braked and turned in at the last minute and thus taken the following driver by surprise?

He's on the right side of the pits entrance (I've been through that entrance myself many times).
The MB is clearly under very heavy braking. It shouldn't be there at that speed as you enter the straight from that corner and the circuit is a good three car lengths width at that point. I know, as I span my BMW 2002 360 degrees within the width of the lane. It looks as though the Lister's rear has been pushed right out, so the angle of the car may now bear no resemblance to its original line. No sign of the Lister braking either.
My money is on the SLS running wide round that corner.

An update with more pictures. I should take up racing car accident forensics!

Makes for a good case of leaving the tyre chicane in at the start of the straight.
I miss Goodwood and my C63...

What do the regs say {if anything??} about cars entering the delineated pit lane after exiting that corner if
1. they intend to continue the lap
2. there is a car present entering the pits
or is it as I suspect a "grey area"
here's a bit of video on the Salvadori Cup to give a flavour of the real thing. Don't get too excited the first" start" is for the warm up lap.
