GT3RS crashed at Donington yesterday?

[h_____]

Was it anyone on here? there were 2 (red decals) [EDITED] . They both lapped in close succession, then one didnt make it around the old hairpin. It looked a real state. What a shame! Hope the guy was insured. Anyone know anything about it.

Also felt gutted for the poor chap in a loverly old escort that crashed on the warm up lap!!

no insurance car is a bit worse for wear

[cavanagh]

did you get pictures

[h_____]

really sorry to hear that - I'm afraid not, it always seems a bit odd to take pictures of peoples misfortune!

I hope he's very rich then!! It didnt look like it was going to be a cheap fix, infact the car looked very bent. :-(

Or indeed profit from it, LOL.

Only joking, buying the bits for a song helps the crasher out, too. Works out best all round. Friend managed to recoup some of his loss this way after a car meets solid scenery incident at Castle Combe.

Apparently you can re-shell the cars Dan. Steve from JZ made the same comment regarding the awefully messed up RS that came a cropper at the top of Eau Rouge on Tuesday.

i know of an insured gt3 mkII that was crashed at donington about 2 years ago. The only thing salvageable was the engine, but the insurance company decided it was better to rebuild the car around the engine than to buy a new car

Steve,

Did you take your gallardo round Donnington? Going to take mine round (when I get some silencers fitted!!), be interested to hear how it fared if you did.

I was led to believe that complete 996 shells are no long available. Although obviously could still be constructed ad hoc from the floor pan etc etc panels... Which are available...

I would agree - the bloke taking us round Manthey last thursday said they had bought the last available 996 shell and no more were to be produced
