I’m probably one of your older sub’s , and yeah I think I’ve watched the 77 race with the Marshalls running across the track maybe twice just to see what the chaos was all about it’s like a train wreck you can’t get out of your head.

This was the first F1 / race I saw in person, and words can't describe how much of a Rubens Barrichello fan I was. So, track invasions aside this was an incredible race. So relieved no one hit him

I do remember watching that race! It was the second year I was following F1. I believe it was Webber in the Jaguar who pulled out to give that maniac a bit of a juke.

Only grand prix that I've ever managed to get to so far in my life time. I remember everyone being gobsmacked seeing him on the screens at Luffield. Plus Rubens pass on Kimi through bridge was epic!

ya - i remember that well, quite distinctive was James Allen's reaction to the leprechaun on the track, hard to forget. thanks for the background - that guy was crackers. Remarkable to hear that Green rec'd the same award as David Purley, i think that's great - the image of Purley's heroic actions are engrained in my memory.

Huh! I just told my kids the story of the GP a few days ago. 😄 A friend and I were on a bender the might before so we were just about waking up when the pre-race show started. He didn't care about the race because "F1 is boring" but I said I wanted to watch it so he joined me. He still remembers it to this day 😃 The Hungarian commentator went totally crazy: "SOMEONE TAKE HIM AWAY!!" and "It's over!! There will be no more British grand prix!!" Him being the director of Hungaroring was well aware the scrutiny a circuit has to pass. Although Silverstone might have got a more preferable treatment. One more thing: the reporter from the pit lane said about the craziness of jumping around on the Hangar Straight that even when a car passes him in the pit lane at 80kph his heart still skips a beat because of the noise and the wind so he can't imagine what it's like to be there.

Took me a couple of seconds to realise what was going on, first thought that came to mind was Tom Pryce.

And there were Extinction Rebellion people at Silverstone this year nearly getting run over by F1 drivers. I'm surprised none of them got curb stomped quite frankly I don't know why Max and Bernie had it in for Silverstone. The chaos in 2000 was because it was given the Race 4 slot at an inappropriate time of year and then it got criticism the next year despite the organisers doing everything in their power to deliver because Bernie couldn't arrive on time.

I don't know about the British coverage, but in the US, the Speed Channel went to a commercial just before this happened, so I went into the kitchen to do something and all of a sudden my dad starts yelling for me to hurry back and see what's going on. They came out of commercial showing a replay of the guy running down the track. By then, the announcers (Rick DeBruhl, David Hobbs, and Steve Matchett) had a few seconds to calm down and report on it as opposed to live, but the most interesting reaction to me was my dad getting all ticked off that the Safety Car was deployed for a full-course caution and what that would do to the race and the driver positions. I remember thinking: "That's what gets your attention, the Safety Car?"

I remember the one at Athens in 2004, the spectator basically flattened him and sat on him until officials came out.The Ruling the Brazilians want was for previous things like this at the Olympics Marathon, but when they happened it was that the Olympic Marathon event was never considered a true competitive event unalike track events (despite runners making the Marathon distance event so outside the Olympics in Boston, Yonkers, or a few other events in Europe) until after WWII in the 1950's, a few prior to WWII timing of the Olympic Marathon was done so the racers could finish just before the Olympic closing ceremonies like about 1--2 hours before for most of the finishers.

Watched the race in the departure lounge at East Midlands Airport. I remember there was a split second of TV coverage showing him on the track before the camera cut away to something else on track. My dad and I both noticed it before the camera cut back and we heard James Allen's infamous commentary.

I remember watching that, from the grandstand on the hangar straight. The only Time I've ever been to the British GP and my first race I ever attended. I was watching the cars go around Stowe and all of a sudden everyone started standing up blocking my view, me and my uncle just looked at each other and stood up ourselves to see what was going on, couldn't believe what I was seeing. Everyone in the grandstand had to have a chuckle in disbelief after he'd been removed. Something I'll never forget,

ITV ad break again, we just got a brief glimpse of Horan before the Toyota sponsorship break bumper, leaving us going "Was that a person on track?!" "Oh my goodness me!" was what we got on RTE as well. It was practically lead commentator Peter Collins' catchphrase back then. Everyone fell over themselves that day to say "The car in front is a Toyota!" Would have been the thumbnail for WTF1's Best Reactions video, in an alternate universe. The Pryce incident is in graphic detail on the Brunswick Season Review, and has a graphic content warning on F1TV. I originally saw this review on ESPN Classic - remember that? - and it was blurred out. Sky went further and freeze framed beforehand when they aired it. Got it on DVD this year, no such luck. Awful. Footage of the protestors this year was briefly captured on the cameras of those dragging battered vehicles back to the pits. Way to play into certain publications' - rhymes with Haley Sail - stereotypes of climate being a load of hot air...

The Roger Williamson crash is one that I really can't stand to watch. Very thankful for all the safety improvements over the decades. I had never heard the full story of this guy's lunacy well beyond running on the track at Silverstone.

Oh yeah I can remember this clearly, watching at a friends house. What a mad man..

I remember this!

This and Brazil are the only reasons I remember the 2003 season at all. Was watching this on Speed though, and I can't remember what the guy's reactions were.

I remember watching this race in Tenerife on for some reason RTL. Since I speak no German whatsoever, I honestly thought the track invader was some sort of weird joke by RTL at first 😅

I remember British GP in 2003. When that idiot ran out onto the track I thought it was a steward slowing everyone down. But then I realise it was an Irish protester. He also disrupted the men's marathon in the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

Charlie Jarzombeks fatal wreck is the one that sticks with me. One of the only Basilar Skull Fractures that was televised. At one point they cut to a roof shot zoomed on the marshals holding Charlie up by his shoulders and one of the marshals lifted his head back showing blood pouring from his nose and mouth. I salute these brave men; they’re the reason we’ve seen fatal wrecks reduced to a weekend out.

He was on a list of possible agitators to be aware of, and was definitely 'equipped' for making a scene. Anyway, having established who he was (not difficult 😅), he was passed off to some colleagues who led him up to Trafalgar Square and away from the parade, whilst i got to go back to standing still on The Mall 😂 It was the morning after my wedding day later in the year when sat at breakfast, I saw the sports pages and the report on his antics at the Olympics and had a 'what if?' moment.

Here’s an idea for a Silverstone redesign. I’m not sure how runoff would be sorted but if it could be done, it go like this: Starting on old pit straight, copse corner unchanged, maggots becomes fast left hand kink leading up to the old becketts similar to how it was pre 1991, but becketts itself is tightened, into a 2nd or 3rd gear hairpin. Chapel becomes another left hand link leading onto hangar straight. For Stowe, people probably won’t like this, but it becomes a complex similar to Bahrain turns 1-3, making DRS viable down hangar, and a good overtaking opportunity. Vale and club complex remains unchanged, and here is where things get different. For abbey, it becomes the fast left hand link it was up until 1993, that further leads into an unchanged bridge corner, then a tightened priory bend, let’s say 2nd or 3rd gear in current cars. Short straight into a brooklands hairpin, 1st gear, then luffield is unchanged. Woodcote unchanged as well, lap is over. Let me know what you think of this layout.

A year later, the same guy ruined Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima' run for the gold medal at the Olympics in Athens...

I’ve always wondered if that piece of the track, the bridge section, could come back and or be used again. I don’t think runoff would be an issue, as the track is literally a former airfield. You might need to do some resurfacing and move a grandstand or two, but I think nothing major would need to be done to bring it up to standards. The track also is literally just chilling there, waiting to be used again. I’m not sure though and I am interested in hearing other opinions.

Since you mentioned the Kyalami Tom Pryce incident I had to look it up. I really wish you didn’t.

I remember this and thought he was crazy

HERE TO LEAVE MY LITTLE COMMENT

Yes. I remember

The 1977 incident makes me wonder why they still send corner marshals on track with no physical protection (safety vehicle.)

I've sure seen some strange races watching the British GP. Schumacher's last lap serving of a penalty. Everyone's Pirelli's exploding right before the end of the race. And multiple track invasions. It's like someone put a curse on Silverstone.

2003 was probably the only great season of the Schumacher dominance years. If only Raikkonen or Montoya had won the championship...
