00:00Mas é definitivamente overcast, e há alguns darkões que estão indo em nosso caminho,

00:03então, que poderia mais mais um pouco mais um pouco.

00:06Vamos ver o que acontece, pessoal.

00:08Reste 3 da Clapa-North M.O.T., Mazda MX-5 Super Cup,

00:12sobre o que chegará em direção, Jim Barrett e Alistair Dendy,

00:14compartilha a fronteira da grid, Barrett a white e orange, Dendy a white e blue.

00:18Quem ganha a besta de start?

00:19Os lights são out.

00:20Bem, a besta de start vem da segunda mão,

00:22e Will Blackwell-Chamber, talvez, predictamente,

00:24bursts through on the outside line.

00:26Ele não está muito bem a challenge Alistair Dendy para o lead,

00:28mas ele vai clear, Jim Barrett for second position.

00:31Jack Harding's trying to go with him on the outside,

00:32Barrett is sideways, Harding gets through.

00:35Watch Aidan Hills coming as well in the blue and orange car to the outside.

00:38Hills to the outside of Harding even.

00:40Oh, a little bit of a tap in the tail for Ollie Hawley,

00:42almost clattered into Sam Middleton.

00:44Jim Barrett's car's all over the place, isn't it?

00:45He had a slow and off, big time in the background.

00:47George Grant is one of them, the 88 is the other.

00:50That's Martin Whitehouse, big damage done to the front of Whitehouse's car.

00:54Grant, amazingly, is attempting to carry on,

00:56but Whitehouse going no further of that, I'm sure.

00:59He's doing his best in fairness to pull the car out of harm's way,

01:02but that was a tangling of wheels, I think,

01:03just as they exited Druids for the first time,

01:06and that may well require a safety car period.

01:09The leaders exiting clearways for the first time of asking,

01:12and who is going to have the lead?

01:13Will it be Alistair Dendy, or will it be Will Blackwell-Chamber?

01:15It is going to be almost a dead heat at the line,

01:17but Dendy on the outside line will hang on for the time being.

01:21Is Blackwell-Chamber, oh, the red flags are out, red flags are out,

01:23so none of it matters, the race being stopped,

01:26and that's not a huge surprise, that was quite a big hit

01:29for Martin Whitehouse up at Druids Corner,

01:32and the marshals and medical crews will want to make absolutely sure that he's okay,

01:37but also there's a lot of debris and a broken car that will lead moving too,

01:41so unsurprising, really, that the red flags are coming out.

01:47What a shame, though, that that had to go that way,

01:51because it was a fairly lively start to the race,

01:54even at the back of the field there, not even the drivers who were affected by the reversed grid.

01:59That was just lap one close quarters racing that unfortunately led to, as I said,

02:04that tangling of wheels, and I think Ollie Hall has just pulled over

02:08to make sure that Martin Whitehouse is okay as well.

02:09That's nice to see, carries on his way now, back to the start-finish area.

02:16So, there's George Grant.

02:19Now, his car came out of that remarkably well.

02:21I'm not saying it's in showroom condition anymore,

02:23but it's not as badly damaged as I thought it might be,

02:26given that he had a fairly sightable impact as well with the barrier.

02:32So, the team, Rob Boston Racing Team, jumped to work.

02:38I can't actually see Rob there working on the car, which is rare, actually.

02:42Rob normally the first to get his hands dirty.

02:44He's probably got other cars in the outer paddock to be working on.

02:46That car has more damage to the rear, I think, than the front.

02:49There's a big gouge taken out of the left rear corner.

02:53Bodywork rubbing on the tire.

02:55There may be suspension damage as well.

02:56George Grant getting out of the car.

02:57That's a shame.

02:58George Grant, such an enthusiastic racer,

03:01and just shaking himself down there and giving himself a stretch,

03:07making sure everything's more or less as it should be.

03:09There's the damage to the left front corner as well.

03:12So, George Grant is out of the race.

03:15So, of course, is Martin Whitehouse.

03:17Yes, but the rest of them will line themselves upon the grid for a restart.

03:23And, of course, it means when we do get the restart,

03:24they'll be back in original grid order

03:26because we hadn't completed a lap of racing.

03:28So, it will be a...

03:31Jim Barrett back on pole position.

03:33Well, he'd slipped well down the order

03:35after the poor start they had.

03:39He was about sixth or seventh, I think.

03:41Team are going to work here on the George Grant car, in fairness.

03:45That's what it should look like.

03:46That's more Blackwell Chambers, his teammate,

03:48at Rob Boston Racing,

03:49running the other Clapham North liveried car.

03:52But, yeah, unfortunately, George Grant's car

03:55doesn't look like that anymore.

03:56It's looking fairly secondhand,

03:59but the team were going to work on it.

04:00This red flag period might give them an opportunity, of course,

04:03to get the car back out there

04:04because he wasn't the cause of the red...

04:05Well, he was, but he was running at the time of the red flag.

04:07So, if, in theory, they can get this patched up,

04:11they could get him back out on track.

04:15If in doubt, hit it with a big hammer.

04:18It's the first thing they teach you, I think.

04:20It's an aspiring mechanic.

04:24We're on a Boston Racing team

04:25with a lot that needs to be done to that car.

04:29I'd be very surprised if all it is is cosmetic damage.

04:32They've opened the boot now

04:33to get a look at the suspension at the back of the car.

04:35And, in fact, on the suspension, it's the...

04:42Well, to check the chassis, I suppose,

04:44and there you can see it is a bit twisted inside.

04:46Now, that doesn't necessarily mean the chassis is broken.

04:49It just means that the bodywork's come away

04:51from the rear of the car,

04:53but, yeah, it's not a pretty sight, is it, for George?

04:57He's got his helmet and gloves off,

04:59so he doesn't appear to think

05:00that he's going anywhere any time soon.

05:05So he was on the inside, I believe, wasn't he,

05:09of Martin Whitehouse as they tangled, I think.

05:15So his left rear perhaps making contact

05:18with the right front of Whitehouse's car.

05:23But I'm almost certain if we do get a chance

05:24to see that again, it will turn out

05:26to just be the most innocuous little bit of contact.

05:28It usually is.

05:28because they're the ones that caused

05:30the biggest accidents, it seems,

05:31and you look back at it and think,

05:33well, what a shame that had to...

05:35that had those ramifications,

05:38but both drives appear to be OK.

05:42There are no medics at the scene up at Druid,

05:45so I think everyone's OK.

05:46That means we can have a little look back then

05:47at what exactly happened.

05:50So keep an eye.

05:51The back of the pack,

05:52George Grant in the Clapham North Cup,

05:53well, he's already gone,

05:54and there's a third car actually involved in that.

05:57which I think was in the middle of the two of them.

06:02And I think that car was pincered almost

06:04by Grant and Whitehouse.

06:06Whitehouse.
