Whichever has fuel
Someone also wrote off a brand new meg 250. I didn't see it but apparently is was proper munched.
Oh, and some lunatic in a 306 managed to bin his car on the cool down lap. For some reason the cool down lap was the fastest we'd seen him go all session!
All of the above is the reason I only spectate at action days. Too many Heroes about.

What's an action day then, any old bugger on track?

I have action pics of the Meg crashing. They will be up shortly.
Hapened at Quarry. Caught the grass at the braking point with the pass. side wheel, which then dragged him onto the grass, down the tyre wall, then he bounced round a few times before driving off again!!
Every panel has gone..
I saw the 306 being dropped off next to our stand smashed to bits. He was tripod'ing all the way around Quarry most the day!

Yeah basically. Today there was a bloke in a E reg sierra estate with no bumpers on it. In the same session as a GTR. It's just a recipe for disaster.

Doesnt sound good at all, get enough muppets on ya average track day
hope all drivers/passengers were ok. I was passenger in an M3 that came off and went sideways into the tyre wall at Anglesey the other week, missing the pit wall by inches. It's a scary experience when I've never been in any kind of car crash before *touches wood*
So which trackdays would be good for someone who's never been on track before,
and doesn't want his car smashed to bits but tw*ts?
Bit scared now tbh, just when i'm start thinking it's a good idea I hear stories like this.

oulton park is fairly good with lots of run off. Just don't do a novice day and you should be ok
To be fair Dave to shouldn't let it out you off.
I much prefer the full open pit days (one in July actually - the 2nd) where you get people who ideally wan to spend a full day there. Ok - yes you still get people on full days going out straight away balls out, but they soon release it from their system.
I paid 119 for my last full day there - I don't see the value in £35 for 15 minutes and the risk of 600bhp Evo's overtaking you incorrectly etc.

I was looking at the renault sport trackdays for a first day out.
Seem like a much better option for anyone who hasn't been before, I certainly don't want t be getting in peoples way and stuff.
I want to do one this year, i'd prefer one that wasn't full of angry dickheads trying to kill themselves.
Nope, one drag day at Shakespeare raceway,
kind of hard to crash when it's a 1/4 mile straight.

Good way to learn the whole days format, and some track etiquette is to do your first one as a passenger with someone who's done a few. Glad I did rather than just jump straight at it lol
I was just going to pay for an instructor and do as i'm told tbh,
hopefully having one in my car will keep any nutters away from me.

Hi guys,
Yeh, basically the BMW had cut a few other drivers up, I'd seen this so had headlights on to improve my chances if him seeing me.
He cut me up twice on bobbies, then camp, then gave it the big one down the straight. Lost it on Folley where I throttled off because if this, he went onto the grass and got it straight, I then pedalled it again and he literally came from the grass straight into the front of me pushed me into the barrier hard.
Cars a total loss, roof is kinked etc. both me and the gf are ok, just slightly sore, my wrist has taken the brunt of it and the gf has a bit of pain from the seat belt/smacking her head against the window.

I have to admit, i'd have probably taken my wheel brace to his head,
maybe i'm not cut out for trackdays.

Really sorry to hear it dan ! Hope you can recoup some of the cost breaking it ! Glad you and your GF are okay mate
I hope so too!
The main thing that's really annoyed me is he wouldn't accept it was his fault. But, who was facing the wrong way on the track ffs.

People in the obvious wrong never do mate ! But doesn't help you in anyway! Did you have track insurance ?
He didnt get away lightly..

Nope, no insurance. £1000 excess on a car that owes me less!
I was about to say that's fixable until I took a closer look at it,
sadly the money and effort wouldn't be worth it, better to just start again with another car.
