Actually they must have learned something. The ambulance is moved back and over from the video of the roll.

Bruce, don't really care, but for precision, that is a club event in Spain, not Italy.
Ciao.

Wow I like the big tree thing between me and the cars.

In the long run reality always wins.

Sorry, Alex. I thought most of the comments were in Italian- so I guessed (wrongly) at the location.

IS one is a little in your face. You'd think standing behind a guard rail would be more safe...

WHAT AN ASSHOLE! Thats pretty much the biggest dicked move I have ever seen.
The people look like marshmallows or bowling pins. Those are people dick!

I've seen a video where the driver stops the car and the co-driver opens his door and apologizes for taking outs someone fence. That video is fucking astounding. Unreal.

Also the one dude that goes flying sets off a car alarm with his head if you listen close enough.

Driving away is the WORSE thing he could have done, I agree. There are some countries where there are accidents that cause injury to spectators and the crowd has beaten up and hurt the driver pretty badly (especially if there are relatives of the victims in there)..That driver may have feared just that.

This has been on the net for a while, but still pretty good:

Trees are competitors' worst enemies and spectators (or in this case, marhall's) best friends..
