Photos Needed Viper Crash Sunday Brands GT Cup

[lvarga]

I had a massive crash on Sunday, 3rd of May at Brands in the last race of the GT Cup, unfortunately none of the official photographers managed to take a photo.
I'm just wondering if there is a chance to get one from one of the spectators.
Many Thanks

I was on the other side of the circuit, so I only heard of the 2 accidents secondhand.
Glad that you stepped away unharmed as they did sound dreadful.


Will be on the MotorsTV June 19th, 7.05 PM

Thank you! I will record the TV then.
In retrospect whoever invented the HANS device had the right idea..

I was in the same race, looked like you hit pretty hard. Glad you were ok! Do you know what happened?

too much throttle with the lock on. one is saying that I put the rear wheel a bit on the grass, which I'm not sure of,
basically the car was oversteering straight into the barrier, clearly my fault

Hi Largis sorry to hear this. I met you with Robin briefly at Silvesrtone, used to drive the Viper with them in '07

I shamelessly reposted the time of the Brands Hatch round from a post by FUBAR in this thread of the TVR Cerbera forum:

clearly my fault

obviously not a proper racing driver given the opportunity to blame tyre pressure, inclement weather, the diff, the steering wheel, hitting rubble, avoiding a streaker etc etc.....

....a disgrace to everyone concerned- at least make the effort. after my crash at brands last year I managed to blame, understeer, oversteer & bumpsteer, front tyres and a hedgehog, before anyone questioned my undisputed godlike driving talents!

Hope it gets fixed soon.

Hey, just to let you know, I was the marshall that was I think 2nd to the scene. I was wearing a yellow hat! Just glad that you are okay. If you managed to get the coverage of the accident and the subsequent one involving Paul Hogarth could you please PM me! I'd like to see how I could improve on how I react to an incident.

Cheers for the wake up call though, it had been a long weekend, just sad it had to end early for you.

Regards Daniel Pinnegar

I don't have Motors TV anymore. God knows why I agreed to not get Sky again after we moved house! *Runs away into a corner and whimpers*

I hate being awake and knowing that live motorsport is on and I can't watch it!

[Andy 308GTB]

Race 2 at Brands Hatch wasn't part of the coverage.
I assume that the race organiser (who was also behind the broadcast) didn't believe that the events of Race 2 would promote the series as they wished.

Saw your last race on Motors TV the other day, and what can I say....brilliant drive.
You did TVR proud amongst some serious machinery.

I've decided to drive down to Snetterton to take a look. Are you participating ?

[itsallyellow]

Snetterton when?

The next GT Cup race is at Oulton park on the 25th of July. We will be there.

Mike

[grahamw48]

Aah yes.

Of course...Oulton...bit tired last night.

Thanks...will be there.

Interviewed before the race you pointed out that you were the only team without a motorhome/team lorry/hospitality marquee etc - then sailed home in 2nd place. Quality!
