00:00Close as possível.

00:01Mitchell was in a little bit of a hiccup

00:03at the start of the lap

00:04because he was 3 quarters of a second clear

00:07of Bernier coming through the start finish line

00:09after setting a lap time

00:10that was 2 tenths better

00:12than Bernier's lap time last time around

00:14so clearly something's happened

00:15because that is not 3 quarters of a second

00:17separating them anymore.

00:20Bernier not close enough

00:21to have an attempt at it this time round

00:23and now able to use all the parts of the...

00:26Oh, it's a big old off, that's a huge off.

00:28It's Louie, it's Mike Looley.

00:31Mike Looley with a big crash in the background as well.

00:33There's damage, is it Waltersdorf on the right-hand side?

00:36So Waltersdorf and Looley, I'm pretty sure that's going to...

00:39Well, it's definitely going to be a full course yellow

00:40but it might be a red flag.

00:42So that's a big crash.

00:45Looley and Waltersdorf, we think the...

00:48Well, Looley definitely.

00:49Waltersdorf in the background, we're pretty sure

00:51with the white and blue.

00:53Oh, what a shame.

00:54And the MCY is out.

00:55Yeah, full course yellow.

00:56So the safety car goes out

00:58and everybody will have to follow in a train

00:59while we get this cleared up.

01:01We'll figure out what happened

01:02and see if we've got a replay of it for you shortly.

01:04We'll check the drivers are okay first.

01:07Mitchell Green will be grateful to see the safety car out

01:09because it's taking time off the clock

01:11but he won't be grateful to see how much closer

01:14Jan Bernier is in his rear-view camera at this point.

01:17Gary Ott will also be grateful for an opportunity

01:20to take a couple of deep breaths,

01:22gather his thoughts, put everything back in order,

01:25brings Roy Carroll back into the fight as well.

01:28And then Jared Bilicek, who was training decent lap times,

01:31said his personal best the last time around, actually.

01:34He'll be right back in this fight now, too.

01:37And you can see on the left-hand side of your screen

01:40the two cars, the two yellow cars at the bottom

01:42indicating they're in Cobbershell.

01:44That is Waltersdorf and Looley.

01:45So that is confirmation that it definitely was Waltersdorf,

01:47as we said.

01:48and dropping down through.

01:53Well, there we go.

01:54So we'll be behind this, I reckon, for a good couple of laps.

01:57If they think it's going to take longer to clear up,

02:00then they might red flag it and take them off into Pit Road.

02:03But in the meantime, as you say, a little bit of a breather.

02:06It's a decent battle between them.

02:07And Gary Ott was kind of with them

02:09and then dropped back a half second or so.

02:12Gabe Harib and Jeff Nunberg will be right together again.

02:16And Jeffrey Nunberg has been doing a very interesting move

02:19as we were talking about going into turn number one.

02:21Both of those cars plus seven spots.

02:23Up seven places, yeah.

02:24That's an incredible effort at the beginning.

02:26But as far as Jeff Nunberg is concerned,

02:29going into turn one,

02:31it seems to be his preferred passing opportunity.

02:35And then he does park them at the Apex.

02:37But he's perfected that art of parking them at the Apex.

02:41We're now hearing that the safety car

02:44will come down onto the pit lane,

02:45bringing the cars that way.

02:4720 and a half minutes to go.

02:49And this is a time-certain race.

02:51So hopefully we are able to get back to green flag racing

02:54as we will recover those two struck cars.

02:58Yeah, it's sounding like it's likely

02:59they're going to bring them all into Pit Road.

03:01So I was just talking about race control.

03:03You may have said that yourself.

03:04So it's, yeah, there we go.

03:07Oh, dear.

03:09And we were expecting carnage in the wet.

03:13The trouble is,

03:14and as it so frequently occurs in series

03:17where you run multiple races on a weekend,

03:19the second race tends to be a little bit more chaotic

03:22than the first

03:22because the drivers have that in the back of their mind.

03:25I need to keep the car good for tomorrow.

03:26Ready for the day, too.

03:27And then today the caution goes out.

03:29The wind, funny enough,

03:30I was talking to Nina Jade last night.

03:31The first three race weekends,

03:34I'd said day one was meh,

03:35and then day two is, yeah, really great racing.

03:39And that's what we've had so far this year.

03:41Indianapolis, it was really good both days

03:42and just a lack of incident.

03:45But, yeah, say today.

03:46Our number one concern is that the drivers are okay.

03:48None of the rest of it matters.

03:49This is just racing cars.

03:51And as enthusiastic and serious as everybody is about it,

03:55everybody also knows

03:56that there's nothing matters more than the people.

03:58No, it's the carbon-based life form behind the wheel

04:00that's the most important part of these vehicles

04:03out on the track.

04:04And that's ultimately it.

04:05We're here because we're all humans.

04:07We all love common cars.

04:08Cars, yeah, racing.

04:10Cars, motorsport.

04:11And Ferraris.

04:12Definitely, definitely.

04:15I just need a teacher that just says I like cars.

04:18Like, you know, that's pretty much okay.

04:20So we're hearing Mike Luley is out of the car.

04:22So that's good news, first of all.

04:23Good.

04:24Red flag has now been thrown.

04:27Okay, so the clock has stopped.

04:29That means we'll have 19 minutes, 14 remaining

04:31when we get the cars back out on circuit.

04:34But that will be after the recovery of these vehicles

04:37and the cleanup, which might take some time.

04:39We will see.

04:40I'm very curious, when we do go back to racing,

04:45how Jeff Nunberg attempts the pass on Gabe Harreep.

04:49Because knowing Jeff Nunberg,

04:51he's not just going to sit back and be happy for the two.

04:53Looks like turn one, doesn't it?

04:54To be honest, it's where it looks like you'll have a go.

04:57Turn one, parking him at the apex,

04:58perhaps if he's able to get around.

04:59But I'm wondering if maybe Jeffrey knows

05:02that his secret is out.

05:04We know what he does.

05:05Will he get creative and try it somewhere different?

05:07Is Gabe Harreep particularly good at blocking?

05:10Attempted passes at turn one.

05:12I think the other thing is, as well,

05:13is have the spotters for the various teams

05:15seen where he's made the passes.

05:16So, you know, they're often looking at their own drive

05:18and focusing on their own data, their own onboards.

05:21And if they've been watching the feed,

05:23then Walter Storff, thumbs up from Walter Storff.

05:25That's the best news.

05:26So both of the drivers involved in the incident are okay.

05:28So that's good stuff.

05:31I'm sure they'll be taken off to the medical centre for checks.

05:33And at some point, as the drivers are okay,

05:35we might be able to take a look back at the incident.

05:37Yes, we are.

05:38So let's have a look back at what happened now,

05:41which has caused this red flag.

05:43So up over the crest,

05:43you can see Walter Storff and Lily just side-by-side contact.

05:46Oh, wow.

05:46Okay, that was pretty quick.

05:48So nobody's gone that hard in.

05:50And if you're new to motorsport,

05:52that may sound crazy to you.

05:53Some good avoidance over on the left-hand side.

05:55Side-by-side contact.

05:57There's a lot of inertia in wheels and tyres.

05:59And if you get the contact rubber on rubber,

06:00the cars get launched.

06:01And on this occasion, they went left.

06:03And Walter Storff got squeezed fully on the wall

06:06with Lily at the same time.
