Gravel traps

[corporalsparrow]

A tip, should be so unfortunate as to find yourself in one of these on your track day/test day:

Do the decent thing and make an effort to get rid of AS MUCH of the gravel as you can BEFORE you go out on track again.

Otherwise you'll spend the afternoon shattering other people's windscreens, breaking their headlights and pockmarking the paintwork on their cars.

Like you just did to mine.

Had my windscreen smashed at Donington last year.

I know at Oulton they don't let you back out until you've cleaned it all out.

How did you know it was me?

I went off at Oulton...once...and one recovered to the black stuff, drove straight out of the circuit and did a loop of the local roads before I returned.

The amount of gravel that came out of the undertrays and sills was surprising.

Had this at Donington a couple of weeks back. My M3 now sports 2 chips bigger than £2 coin. Getting a new windscreen fitted for £75 whenever it arrives from Germany.

The size of the gravel at Donington is like bloody pebbles!
