This Touring Car Barrel-Rolled Into A Camera Tower At The Start Of A Race

Hunter Abbott’s BTCC Chevrolet was clipped into a barrel-roll at the start of the third Snetterton race and launched over the barrier, hitting a camera tower – fortunately the cameraman and drivers involved are OK

The scary shunt happened as drivers headed towards Turn 1 at the start of race three of the British Touring Car Championship round at Snetterton.

The camera tower fell to the ground when it was hit, but the cameraman and drivers involved were given the OK by medics at the track. The race was red flagged while numerous damaged cars were cleared from the track before getting back underway.

Adams got out of the car and the official asked if he was okay. “I’m good, pissed myself a little but im good”

Race 3 afterwards with the restart was one of the best I’ve watched. GG, poor Abbott tho, he had a rubbish day.
