Expensive Goodwood Crash Today

[Mr Senna]

I think only one person had a small injury thank God.

[Fantuzzi]

Id be looking at it with my fingers over my eyes!

Such a brilliant grid at Goodwood, next year I will have to go.

Flipping'heck!!!!!

The not so "gentleman" racers

[Mr Senna]

One of the cars/drives of the day was a BMW700!!!!

Until he pushed too hard trying to get the lead over a MK2 Jag.

Martin Brundle wrote off a Cobra apparently, I think on Friday.

I've only just noticed the guy being mounted on the left side of the photo...

Whens it on itv4?

I was there of Friday to watch to qualifying sessions, was some expensive accidents.. Unforgivably, two were binned on the out-lap, don't care who was driving someone elses expensive toy, there is no need to crash on the out lap! Total wrecks too. I would love to see them explaining that to the owners. I think the Brundle crash was the red Cobra, he had parked it up then another car lost control and stoved into it. Quality racing though, but it was a shame as some of the incidents looked a little uneccesary.

The AM project 212 crashed after madgewick today in the RAC race, right where we were standing. No one was hurt.

I'm afraid Mr Brundle lost it in the green Cobra owned by Bill and Andy Shepherd and piled into the parked Bryant Cobra GPG. Bill is not a happy bunny.

The good news is that although the cars are worth hundreds of thousands (and maybe more for GPG) it wont cost quite that much to rebuild - but you still need pretty deep pockets

Every year Goodwood produces a list of expensive repair bils. I assume all the owners enter their cars full well in the knowledge that their pride and joys may get a bit bashed over the weekend.

Didn't this crash heavily to write off status a few years ago too?

[fatboy69]

That's unusual for MB to loss it. Doesn't have a reputation of being a 'crasher' does he so it's a rare occurrence for him to have an accident.

It's a shame that two valuable cars were badly damaged however that's the risk of racing old cars isn't it?

Stig driving on his day off?

Ouch. Those 250f's will be worth what? £1.25 mill each. Not cheap to fix. What sort of cash do Lotus 16s/18s fetch?

I think it is good to see the cars still be used as the designers intended.

[Le Mans Visitor]

What is going on on the far left of the top picture? looks like it could be painful.

It's a breeding pair. They are trying to make a baby Lotus.

It wasn't the 212 that crashed it was the project 214.
