Nearly one less!

Heres the pic from where i lost the car tipping in to the corner at Oulton on Friday, i lost it at onehundred and plenty miles an hour and was just along for the ride once we hit the grass! They dont half stop when you hit the gravel, Many people said we were lucky not to roll when we impacted the soft stuff! The tyre wall was the next object but luckily we never made it that far, gravel rashed the newly refinished wheels but other than that unscathed. bloody lucky...

Do you take out trackday cover insurance? Does it cover laundry bills.

Top tip from someone who watched a mate go straight over a roundabout a week after going in the kitty litter on a bike, bleed your brakes.

[touching cloth]

Wow, good effort Paul

Glad you and the car are unscathed

[M3John]

I'm not familiar with Oulton, have spectated but never driven.

Are those your skid marks in the background?

I didn't think this was possible...



You've prooved me wrong.

Glad you and car are okay.

on the upside did end up with me getting teh cerb.

[optimax sniffer]

Glad to hear that you stopped in time. Nice set of tracks across the grass.


On a separate note:
Anyone else glad that the SPAreRING Trip was dry?

Which bit of the circuit is that brummie? have to confess even after driving oulton many times in past years i havent a foggiest what bit of track we're looking at? I thought it might be the kink after lakeside straight but i didn't think it was as sharp as it looks in the pic

[julian64]

I'm not sure I've ever seen a runoff that large on a racetrack.

Would have loved another photo showing how close you were to the barrier

[Ballsy]

I have to say i love those skid marks, would like to see how close you were to the barrier aswell.
Coulda been a bad one if the run-off wasnt as huge

It was Island, before Shell oils, the gravel is on the inside of Shell before the tyre wall..

That's one hell of an impact, flung out of the drivers seat and burried upto your neck in the gravel.....

[jammy_basturd]

It even managed to undo his seat belt!

[BCA]

Commitment.

No real damage, just shows you're trying hard enough...

...and in the right environment!
