I have never seen a wheeled crane used at Silverstone, no matter how bad the accident. I'm not saying they never use them, but I've seen a few bad accidents there in my time, and never seen a wheeled crane used. However, if the grass/gravel was wet, they would have to use some other method of recovery I imagine, but normally it's just a standard flat-bed truck and bit of pushing and shoving.G-CPTN wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 12:02 pm'Wheeled cranes' are essential for recovering crashed vehicles from grassed areas or bogged in gravel.
Because Mugello is primarily used for motorbike racing they don't have adequate gaps in the barriers (as was seen when they failed to get a car through a 'gate' and had to bring a crane to lift it over).
You'd think that someone would have done a bit of risk assessment at Mugello, especially when most of the drivers were not familiar with the track other than virtually.
