Also seemed a poor overtake decision? Minimal room to pass the Ferrari and also storming up behind the Porkers who were going a fair bit slower and on the racing line?

Think the luckiest guy is in the blue bib. Watch that wheel go up in the air, disapppear for a second or two then crash down a couple of feet behind him. He wasn't even looking!
The Rockenfeller crash at 10pm or so was pretty amazing as well. http://www.google.co.uk/url?url=http...uXXUUCDpEgOD3w

Next it impacted half way up the tyre wall and the Tyres must have taken all but a small amount of the energy away, with just a little left to send it upwards with a twist. It lost all of it's lateral speed in that 1.2m of two Tyres being compacted so if he was still doing 80-100mph it was still some deceleration.
