Im guessing its British GT, it has some sort of "GT" flash thingy before the replays, british track, british commentary, VERY british weather  plus there are a lotus, TVR's, a Marcos and some more racing...

Wow, was that two Saleens slapping together! Gees I never understand why they just don't take it a little slower. It always ends up like this.

Looks like the race should have been red flagged sooner as there was a couple inche deep lake forming in the stretch of track.
Very poor stewardship by the race organisors.

Yeah, but if your in one piece at the restart, you may win.
Didn't look like Saleen made the podium that day.

Lovely british summer weather can turn the track from dry to like that very quickly! Couldn't red flag it much sooner, none of them looked like that were still trying when they crashed. 12 inch wide slicks provide absolutely no grip once there is some standing water.
It's at Oulton Park, lovely track 5 miles from my house

Thats the point - the corner marshalls should have popped a red flag the moment the water started pooling - especially if the cars went out on slicks.
Every track has areas that get deadly when water accumulates.. and it is the duty of the stewards and marshalls to keep a close eye on these areas when the heavens open.
It's not like that was the first day it had ever rained there
That pile up is 100% race organizers responsibility.

I agree. The track was too wet for safe driving on slicks, probably, let alone racing.
