Oh dear. I feel sorry for that Lotus though.

[Wh00sher]

I was talking to his mate, who was on the phone to the driver whilst waiting to be recovered. Zero remorse, apparently it`s "just one of those things.."

Really feel for the Lotus driver. Wrong place, wrong time. Doing nothing wrong.

doesn't take half a brain cell to realise that was never going to work out

[Frimley111R]

I'd laugh if it wasn't for the Lotus driver getting caught up in it. Hard to believe people hold the steering wheel so badly.

[andyiley]

TBH, it wasn't his grasp of the steering wheel that was the issue (you regularly see worse on the tube that is you) it was his grasp (or lack of) of the dynamics of his car in accelerating into the tightest corner on the track!!!!

[tharriso]

If you look at the windscreen you will see three javelin stickers, meaning this is at least his third track day!

[wellground]

So he has had three days practice to drive that badly. Wow!!!

Does anyone know how much damage was caused to the other car?

[CaptainNotSlow]

A comment on the video says it was a mechanical failure, wonder if there is any truth to that.

I wonder when this happened and what the damage was to the Lotus.

I'm aware of two incidents in recent months with car to car contact on trackdays that were caused by out of control race cars. In one of these incidents the driver that caused the contact was back out on track when they should've had their wristband removed. Not sure what happened to the at-fault driver after the other incident.
I wonder if the ATDO/TDOs keep any records of statistics of car to car contact on trackdays? These people should be banned from trackdays if they are negligent and it results in a collision with someone else. One day the consequences might be more serious.

That's not good.

I think mr MG thought he was in a race, not at a track day.

[Roverload]

Had to be a ZS driver. I've always said that the worst part of owning a modern MG is the fellow owners...

Confirmed.

[MG CHRIS]
