Treating Oil on a wet Track? (merged with 'Oil on the track')
Having yesterday been at Donnington on Post 4. The Fact are:
Second from last race cars set off on the green flag lap a Jaguar throws a rod through the engine block at Post 1 drives around to Post 6 on the outside line. Oil now laying on top of a wet track in places. Circuit staff turn out with a pressure washer and detergent to treat the oil. We Marshals treated the dry sections of track in the normal way. No problem at the start of the race slight traction problems for the second drives (I forgot to say it was a two drive race). Last race no drives told about the oil at Redgate Gravel Trap becoming a car park with four cars including one roller (ended back on wheels). Walking on the washed section of track at the end of the day was like walking on ice. So how do you treat oil on a wet track? |
