The run down from Fordwater to St Mary's and Lavant has become one of our favourite places on the circuit. The facilities are a bit sparse on this strectch, so Mike was keen to stock up on beer when he could. Then it was time to hang out at the left-hander at St Mary's for the Cooper Car Company parade and the Glover Trophy...
Last year we witnessed a car lose a wheel just before St Mary's. This year, two of the Cooper parade cars broke down in front of us. The marshals were busy...
Some of the Glover Trophy cars were faster than others through the stretch from Fordwater to St Mary's, but they were all enjoyable to watch...
Suddenly there were double-waved yellows at St Mary's and the practice was red flagged. We jogged back round St Mary's and found this...
The blue Lotus-BRM crashed first and then the green Brabham BT7 spun backwards into it. Fortunately both drivers were absolutely fine, although the Brabham dumped its fuel all over the grass and the rescue truck, requiring the fire marshals to hose down the area. Both cars will need some work done to be ready for this afternoon's race.
