It'll polish out.

What happened?

No scratches, but where there is very sharp creasing the paint has crazed and cracked and is splintering off. I reckon a dent man will get it all out, it may need a new front wing, but there was some rot in there anyway. It'll need painting for sure.

I have had the wheels off this morning and everything looks OK with the chassis & suspension etc. It drives fine. Will get a proper check over next week at Phantom Motors (who wrote their Turbo R racer off last week) to make sure it is OK for Le Mans.

Thanks folks.

Many thanks for all the kind words and offers of help, I appreciate it.

I feel much better now thanks, after all, it is only a bit of panel damage.

And a friend of mine has just sent me pics of his Turbo R racer written off last week, worst part about it is they had a seasons racing planned for it too.

Best wishes to all, I will see lots of you out and about in the midland & north west region meets, and at Le Mans no doubt.

Steve, it all pales into nothing compared to the worries that you have with your lad getting burnt over the weekend. I know it will be no comfort, but I was feeling sorry for myself, then I read your post about Lee. I logged off the PC and went and hugged my little boy and was thankfull.

I hope he's doing OK.
