00:00Vamos ver o que vai nos derrubar muito, muito, muito rápido.

00:02A Hyundai Safety Car, 2x2 Formation.

00:05All set then for round number 9

00:06of the Funke Club Endurance Championship 2025.

00:09Standby, this is going to be action aplenty

00:12from start to finish.

00:13They don't call it a 1-hour sprint,

00:14but nothing will be pretty intense.

00:16Ubi at the back, the front one is all set to go at the front.

00:18Watch for the red lights at the top of the screen

00:20because when they go out on the gantry,

00:21we are going to be all underway and go

00:23for round 9 of Funke Club 2025.

00:25They fan out looking for their own piece of racing room.

00:26It's going to be 3 abreast almost down towards turn 1.

00:28We're looking, so they're going to get the outside line

00:30into the first corner.

00:31Diving up the inside was 1.57.

00:33That was a good move there for second choice racing.

00:35Michael Lyons tried to make moves to the second row of the grid,

00:37but they're all getting through.

00:38Hopefully Cascades and the Pole Sisters round already.

00:40So he's going to be back in front.

00:41Collision, 2, 3, 4 cars involved, multiple cars in the mix.

00:45That's not what you want to see at the start of the race.

00:47And it was the Pole Sister spinning round

00:48right in the middle of the pack.

00:49And I'm afraid, John, with such a tightly packed field of 30 cars

00:52with one car spinning in the middle of the pack,

00:54I'm afraid that was always going to be a fear we were going to have.

00:56And sadly, it has been realised.

00:58Oh, that's such a shame.

00:59Basically, the first corner of the circuit, that is gutting.

01:02And a few drivers are getting caught up in it.

01:04Yeah, red flag already out there.

01:05We're going to come to a halt.

01:06Oh, that's the 195.

01:08The Ninky Nog is absolutely destroyed.

01:11Trying to bring it back to the pits.

01:12I think just park that thing up and get that trailer back.

01:15That is not going to make it back under its own.

01:16Seems shame for Axiometrics.

01:18One of our championship contenders is out of the first race.

01:22They were an outside shot.

01:24There are no shot now.

01:25Yeah, unfortunately, Axiometrics, that was, I think, a situation where John Perrett didn't have anywhere to go.

01:29And it was one of those places where, really, it was no one's fault, truthfully,

01:33because the 97 car lost the back end.

01:35That was the random racing car.

01:36Pierre ran on rotating around on the exit of the first corner.

01:39And we talked about the fact that, yes, these are all where the tyres were hunkered,

01:43but it's still very treacherous out there, very slippery,

01:45particularly if you haven't raced these cars very much.

01:48Round it went.

01:48And, as I said, ultimately, when you've got a car in that position,

01:51all you can do is try and hope to move out of the way.

01:53And there are cars moving every which way to get out of the way.

01:55And, unfortunately, you get into a situation where, at some point,

01:58one car's going to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

02:00And there's the result.

02:01Drivers are out, thankfully, we're hearing as well.

02:03FNS has got damage to the right rear.

02:04There's another car, GCI, also out of it as well.

02:06Another car to our right, that's the Pierre Random Car 97, I think,

02:09which is the one that was involved in that incident.

02:11But that's not the...

02:12It goes without saying, of course, John,

02:13but it's never what you want to see at the start of this race,

02:15particularly with Fun Cup,

02:16where, typically, driving standards is not really anyone's fault.

02:18But you never want to see incidents like this, of course.

02:20Another car that's been involved as well.

02:21That's the fast-track car that was also in there as well.

02:24So four cars stuck down on the exit of Oldham Corner.

02:27Two more were struck trouble.

02:28So at least six cars getting caught up in that.

02:31Not how we wanted to start round nine of the championship.

02:33No, exactly.

02:34It's such a shame.

02:35And the thing is, as well,

02:36there are multiple cars there with so much damage.

02:39I would be surprised if they get out

02:41for the three hour later on this afternoon.

02:43It's going to be a serious job for a lot of them.

02:45Axiometrics are trying to drag the car back to the pits

02:48with one tyre parallel to the circuit,

02:51which is not where it should be.

02:53They've done a good job to drag that round the entirety of the circuit

02:55and get it back.

02:56But what a gutting way to start the race day here

02:59from Alton Park, like you were saying.

03:01Just one of those things.

03:02It's the undulation through the exit of that first corner

03:05where you've got that weight transfer.

03:07That would have just caught them off guard.

03:08They've spun it round.

03:09And even if they hadn't been holding the brakes there,

03:11I think it was inevitable with the lack of grip

03:13that they were going to spin back across the circuit.

03:14And like you say, when you've got 30 cars diving down

03:16to the same piece of tarmac,

03:18it's going to be impossible for all of them to avoid the incident.

03:21And sadly, that was a big one.

03:23There is Axiometrics coming back into pit lane.

03:26Dragging it back.

03:27And I think they'll just be hoping they can get out

03:28with the second race of the day,

03:29even if the championship's gone.

03:31They've made the trip here.

03:32They've done all the practice and testing yesterday.

03:34Get themselves sorted.

03:35First corner of the first race.

03:36It's all gone wrong.

03:37I mean, regardless, kudos to John Perry for bringing the car back.

03:40Because, of course, in that situation,

03:41most drivers would have parked it and thought,

03:43no, I'm not going to risk it.

03:44But kudos to John for actually dragging it round

03:45at a slow enough speed.

03:46Because it's easy enough in that situation

03:48where you can go a little too quickly and cause further damage.

03:51But thankfully, John, went at a sensible speed,

03:52got it back to the pit.

03:53And also, it saves the team time

03:55because they now can use that time

03:56between now and the three-hour race

03:58to get that car back again.

03:59I don't doubt their ability,

04:01but at the same time,

04:02I'll be majorly impressed

04:03if they can get that car fixed

04:04before the three-hour race.

04:05You are shaking your head, though.

04:06Is that in disbelief

04:07or you don't think it's going to happen?

04:08I'm just not sure

04:09if JPR will have enough spare parts here

04:11for all of these cars

04:13to even try and get them pre-built.

04:15This is fun, Cup.

04:16Anything can happen.

04:17For sure, for sure.

04:18We'll wait and see.

04:19I hope as many cars can get out as possible.

04:21We'll wait and see.

04:22Red flag here then,

04:23just waiting for the race to get back underway.

04:25I think the main point to be made as well,

04:27when I was chatting with Olympian GRD,

04:29they were obviously pretty frustrated

04:31that we're down right near the back of the order.

04:33Actually, I think it's been quite a blessing

04:35to the top three of the championship.

04:36They've all started in the back 10 cars.

04:38That means they've seen this crash happen

04:40ahead of them,

04:40slowed down and avoided it all.

04:42So they're in a pretty good position at the moment.

04:43Sounds as though we've got Jamie Peters
