Here's my second video about the 2020 Dix Mille Tours historic racing weekend by Peter Auto and it's about what my friend Italiansupercar and I recorded on Saturday. All the Peter Auto's series have been engaged in qualifying sessions and the first races during that day, with the very scenic start of the Sixties' Endurance race at sunset (14:27).
While my friend focused his attention on the first and last corners, I spent the whole day in the central part of the circuit, so I mainly recorded the various cars on the Mistral straight, which is a 1.8 km/1.1 miles asphalt line but which may be interrupted by a chicane placed in the second half of this straight (with different possible layouts). During the Dix Mille Tours, the 'more modern' and safer series (Group C Racing, Endurance Racing Legends and CER 2) usually have to deal with the full Mistral layout while the older ones have to face the chicane.
(12:17 - 14:26) At the end of the day, when Classic Endurance Racing 2 entrants were doing their qualifying laps, a BMW M1 ProCar had a big oil spill in the last 500 meters of the Mistral and which was carried for the following two corners creating a very dangerous situation for the other drivers. If that's not enough, on that part of the track the only marshalls that could have noticed that spill were the ones at the very end of the straight (on the left at 12:49) but due to the distance from the track it wasn't immediately spotted if not when too many cars started to spin, slide and use the run off area.
I don't deny that for a moment I was thinking to warn the approaching cars... Luckily none of the cars you see spinning or going to crash in these scenes have actually crashed (if I understood correctly)
