00:00It's saying Surt has got himself ahead of Darren Howell, those two were in penultimate and last position on the grid respectively,
00:06but there has been a swap in that order there as underneath the Warwick Bridge already you can see Gilbert Yates is starting to put a gap on Callum Leitham,
00:13who equally as much has got a bit of daylight between himself and the third place car on Bal Sidhu,
00:17who, as we said earlier on in qualifying, was struggling a little bit yesterday with jet lag, he's had a good night's sleep and look at the way he's going today.
00:24Really well driven first lap for Bal Sidhu, heading now into the first corner, but Pranavangala not going anywhere in a hurry, Mark.
00:33No, he's not. There's a big, big sideways moment and I'm afraid off and into the barriers with a big hit goes Joe Dean.
00:40He ran wide coming out of Old Hall corner, the car was on the grass, it spat him into the barriers on the right-hand side
00:46and I'm afraid to say that the car that had an incident yesterday and brought about initially a safety car and then a red flag
00:52has had another incident and is damaged in the middle of the circuit.
00:56Yeah, we've seen that happen so many times over the years here at Alton Park, running wide and you try and recover the situation,
01:03coax the car back, but it can rotate on you with very little warning.
01:08So heading into the first corner, just out onto the curb and the grass creek, he tries to hold it,
01:13but then finally the back end loops around and unfortunately that's again the nature of this Alton Park circuit.
01:18The barriers are so close to the edge of the track and in on a couple of corners, then back into the middle of the track
01:25and everybody else responded so well seeing those yellow flags.
01:29Yeah, I mean Paul Simerson was on the brakes very quickly as the car was spinning across his nose
01:33so he reacted to it very quickly to make sure that he stayed out of harm's way,
01:37but with that car stricken in the middle of the circuit, not surprising at all, Johnny,
01:42that unfortunately the red flag is coming out again, I'm afraid,
01:45and unfortunately it's for the same driver as yesterday, how unfortunate.
01:48Yeah, it's because of the debris that's in the middle of the track,
01:51it's because the car is stuck there of course as well and it's not going to go anywhere in a hurry.
01:56The key situation here is that Joe Dean is okay and he looks like he's in conversation with the marshals,
02:02but they will give him all the time in the world now just to get out of that car under his own steam if he can.
02:08But he was eager to get back on the horse, if you like, after his incident down at Shell Oil's hairpin yesterday,
02:16but at about the same sort of time as yesterday's race, again he's had a big incident which,
02:21on dry grass, on that grass crete that sits the other side of the curve,
02:26it's so difficult to sort yourself out once you are that far wide.
02:30Yeah, the car was just sort of skipping around a little bit, wasn't it?
02:32Yeah, and then understand.
