[Closed] The Chuckle Brothers bought a crane

That'll buff out.

That'll buff out.

EDIT: Damn it!!

obviously been to a well known car repair garage for a free brake check and mot.

Almost certainly less damage than the first driver will do to it in a race....... 😉

Probably not, but it can certainly be left in gear

Everyone's remarkably calm afterward, just one ¡Ah cabrón!

Should it not have been strapped down onto the lifting cradle, I bet the next one will be.

As above race cars don't have hand brakes.

It should of been chocked and strapped though.

The front wheels are on planks/skids.

Should have been slung correctly too, shortened at the front

Rally cars do, and I guess it depends on the regs for others.

Rally cars do

They do but I don't think they lock on

Rally cars do. Hold button to lock on rather than release though.
Should have followed BS7121...

BS7121 is fine in Britain. BS - British standard.
I'm not sure what Standard they should have followed, depends on which Spanish speaking country they were I suppose.

Racing cars will only have handbrakes if the formula dictates it. Rally cars have to be road legal, so will be bound by the same laws as your car.

Either way, that should have been chained down.

We follow British Standards on projects in many countries where they surpass what's available locally. Following BS7121 would have meant they had a robust MS in place and that ****up wouldn't have happened.

I agree with you fourbanger.
Unfortunately many countries don't follow the same diligence. This is clear in this video as nobody seems to give a shit when it happens so seems like dropping stuff is a regular occurance.

UK rally cars have to have mechanical handbrakes these days, in addition to hydraulic systems, as even with levers pinned or similar, pressure can drop over time in the system and release the brakes.

That's a touring car though.
