What was the outstanding feature of the 1999 Nurburgring WSB race?

NO looking on the internetweb!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I didn't know so I had to do some research. Foggy won, 5 riders crashed due to oil on the track. Everybody called the marshalls stupid.

Am I right or did something more major happen??
 
Your right!

however, WSB never went back, and there were no oil flags, or, cement dust, it was worse than a UK club racing event!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who was the rider who dumped the oil, and just what were the marshalls, and race control thinking?
 
I was gonna say the lap times were reeeeally long

It's an absolute classic example of how not to run a racing event!, best shot, is of colin edwards, sittting with Yanagawa, giving the finger to the marshalls!

Its one of those races we have on tape, that we put on when we want a laugh LOL.............
 
this is 1 of those posts that had me rackin my brain.... to bad theres not much of it left but i was sure i watched that race cause i remember ce flippin the bird. but i can't bloody remember the race

I'll do some more research when I get back from the airport, I got some flight training today and answer your question later if someone already hasn't.
 
Damn it is hard researching this ....! I cant find any links for it or maybe I'm not typing the right information in. Since I don't know much about it I'm going with generalities.

Was the rider who dumped the oil and everything one of these fellows?:
