1999 World Superbike Nurburgring – The Oil Spill

Posted by admin on August 6th, 2009 and filed under oil | 25 Comments »

Probably the worst race organisation the World Superbike Championship has ever seen. The marshals at the Nurburgring just stand and watch as top riders fall on oil.

Commentary from Jack Burnicle and Rob Orme.

  6. Angelus12308 Says:

    Things like that …
    Things like that are happening way to often,and for what?For one reason!

    Because we the race fanatics are obviously sorry bunch of losers because we do it for the love,and the track officials are the ones who do it for money and publicity!

    For us,oil spill means DANGER DANGER,a crash is BAAAD,and for them both mean PUBLICITY…quite sad really!

    Yup – we know about machines. Except how to operate them 2 wheeled thingies I guess (Roberts, Spencer, Lawson, Rainey, Schwantz, Roberts, Hayden, Merkle, Russel, Kocinski, Edwards, Spies).

    thats shocking, those marshalls should be shot serioulsy. even that back marker there wasent even a blue flag.

  13. darkwizard8888 Says:

    The worst track …
    The worst track Marshall (no blue flag)
    The bad decision from the race organizer (not even restart/stop/safety car the race since it is proven to be dangerous and oil spills-at least for track marshall to clean up the oil spills before resume)
    They should work together to file a law suits against the organiser failure to make the right decision.

    He reacted because he saw Jerman’s bike explode in front of him and knew there was oil everywhere. He nearly fell a few laps before and you’re telling me you wouldn’t be a little angry???? BTW, he’s by far the most liked guy in the GP paddock, Rossi said as much.

    Yes, and once again yes. They probably are.

    Dude! there is OIL on the track! when something like that happens! a blue flag should come up, and dont come and tell me, that u would just stand there and smile.. I would beat the crap out of the marshals, And never race there again..

    He had every right to be mad. and it is the officials fault. the doctor has a talky so he should be saying something about that corner too.

    Actually lalbruiz, to those of us that have watched WSBk since the 90’s, Colin is a hero for how he acted in this moment. Almost as classic as Schwantz.

    That guy Edwards is …
    That guy Edwards is a complete hole, first he stands in the place where all the bikes are sliding out of the track, and throws crap like it is going to achieve something, then at the end pushes the doctor away, when he is only doing his job. Bad temper can make you act stupid, but it this guy has a long fuse to burn…

    I’ve been watching …
    I’ve been watching all kinds of series troughout the years, but GP’s don’t satisfy me anymore. It’s been a few years that it’s coming to look like f1. Just a bunch of overpaid celebreties who rely on computers to get around a track. There are barely 20 riders on the grid, and one’s with the most funding get to win the races :) that is why i say GP’s are crap these days. And i’m sick and tired of rossi’s succeses. Ok, he’s de greatest, no doubt that the guy can ride a bike, but he’s spoiling it

    Everyone loves a winner. What sucks? The company? Their road bikes? Their Jet Skis? Their snowmobiles? Their Motocross bikes? Are the road bikes slow and unreliable? If Kawasaki were winning World Superbikes and MotoGP then people would be down on Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda. I suppose the only way to satisfy everyone would be all races to be a dead heat and all championships to be tied.
