Spectators in hair-raising near-miss after crossing track in front of racecar

This is the heart-stopping moment four spectators at a race event narrowly avoid being hit after deciding to cross the track moments before a car comes hurtling round the corner.

Footage of the incident shows the group trying to dash across the road as a racecar approaches at top speed.

A witness can be heard exclaiming "Oh my God", as one woman appears to be seconds away from disaster.

Luckily the group all make it across just in time as the car flies past.
