Sorry to see that Dan :dapprove:
Probably best look at bone-fife test days instead then.
As above with all these comments.. i was almost taking the cooper S on track today, but there seemed to be plents of penis's going round today so i thought better of it! Good day tho, gutting about your car getting smashed up tho mate, especially as it wasnt your fault!

what happens when accidents like this happen. obviously you cant go through insurance or can you? do you have just try and sort it with the other party
Isn't a test day full of race cars blasting past you at warp speed?
Surely they'd be quite angry at a clueless noob getting in the way?

Good that everyone is ok, cars at the end of the day are replaceable, people are not.

It is the RISK you take, no winners, no blame just live with it.
Nothing happens. There is NO 3rd party liability on a trackday. If you can't handle someone else making a mistake and writing your car off and you get not a penny then either don't go on track at all or pay for track insurance. But with the size of the excess on most policies it wouldn't be worth it just for a couple k cup.
Nonsense, only a few hundred good cups left and getting less all the time but about 7 billion people and more being made every minute.
Tbh I'd have been happy with an apology as it was his fault.

Blimey they really have both taken a good clout!
So he came off the grass, into you coming along full chat? If he'd lost it why not just stop ffs?
I did my frist track day in my zed an tbh I thought I was anything but a hero, defensive driving is key. What a tool.

Must be full of other types of bellends too as I've done Combe hundreds of times so no interest in saying I've done it one more and yet still love going out on action days.

excatly mate , a friend of mine had his saph cosworth wrote off at national day last year with us in on the prade lap ! Bloke was a KN0 B, my mate was gutted , wouldn't have changed anything but an apology would of helped us all! I still have back issues because of it !
He got paid on insurance as it was an RS day didn't he?
Yeah he got paid out eventually because it was a parade lap not a race ! Hard work as the bloke was a utter tool !

I was gutted to see what happened today mate... but extremely glad you are both ok. Onwards and upwards

Trax is equally as bad.
I'd say worse TBH, from my experience at combe recently on action days the idiots are firmly in the minority, at trax its gotta be 50/50 at least I would think, lol
Ph1 172 & Clio DCi
I must of just managed to get the chav-tastic sections at Combe then. Both in my experience have been a Freefrawl
Clio 182 FF
Ouch! At least it's only mental bent and not people though.
Was it one of Combe's own Action Days today? Loads of people I know don't bother with them these days and call them crazy days - just stick to properly organised track days instead. Combe's Action Days have too many cars out at once and the standard of driving is just **** IMHO.

I'll stick up the video of my turbo there today mate, I dont think you'll spot any particuarly bad driving on the whole session, its a bit of a lottery though there WAS some bad driving too of course, hence this thread, lol

Whichever has fuel
I thought today was a MASSIVE improvement in driving standards compared to a couple of years ago.
Although I did cringe when an 07 plate 911 was out on track VERY close to a Focus 1.6 that had all the doors painted matt black.... I'm not sure i'd be comfortable with my £35k Porsche being that close to a 70mph £250 Focus!! lol.

Proper trackdays are the safest. I challenge anyone to have a crash at an open pit lane day at Bedford. (Mechanical failure not included)
The day long trackdays attract people who are genuinely interested in trackdays and learning to drive fast.
Action days/ Trax are for a £30, "watch this" type drivers who want to show off infront of there friends and normally run out of talent doing so.
Obviously not everyone is like that but that's the general styles of both days IMHO
