At least one of them got what he deserved then if he was driving badly enough to crash on a parade lap!

yeh i bet mate well wana do trackdays but just seems so expensive?

 

[Chip-mk1]

yeh i bet mate well wana do trackdays but just seems so expensive?

I reckon the real cost is around 500 quid a day.

 

[escyscott]

the cost for me for last sunday at donno was.

£185 track
£80 diesel for towing
£80 V power for clio
£70 Hotel for saturday night
£10 passenger wristband for my wife
£30 food and drink throughout the day
£ ? Tyres, brakes etc

£455 not including the consumables on the car etc.

I isn't a cheap hobby and I can only realistically do one trackday every 4-6 weeks. It is great fun though!!

I tend to break down my costs in easy chunks though.

This week I'll fill one of my Jerry cans with Vpower, same next week and week after.
I'll book my tracktime approx 10 days prior to the event so it gives me a chance to know 100% if I can afford it and also gives me a shot at the weather too.

If you break it down into little chunks you don't seem to notice the costs.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah those costs look perfectly reasonable to me.

Cheaper if you dont have to tow it about of course, but then you need road tyres and insurance etc too

Real sad news Karl with the white car must be gutted, its just had a lot of work done to it and must of been one of the best Saffs on the road.
Sounds like the guy in the silver car was showing off and never seen the cars infront brake, and going buy the damage must of got the 1 and 5 mixed up as the top speed for the parade. 15-- 51

 

[Chip-mk1]

From what I heard at my local RSOC meet on monday, the front saph pulled off quite quickly and then stood on the brakes really hard, the one following did the same and didnt notice how quick the one in front was going and stuffed him up the arse.

The one in the front seemed to take most of the damage they reckoned?



TBH from how it was described to me, neither of them were just sensibly parading around like you are meant to on a parade lap. But thats 2nd hand info and I have no idea if its accurate or not.

Hard lesson to learn

 

[Chip-mk1]

Found a picture of the front car that bore the brunt of it:

Doors dont open and shut properly now. total write off

shame as to begin with it was one of the best ones in the uk by all accounts

 

[Tony Hunter]

Why do these people have to dick about.

Didnt we all at some point?

I certainly did, just got lucky enough not to have an accident, lol

You do surprise me

How old are these fella's in the Cossies?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Apparently the one in the silver one who was most at fault is about 50 from what was being said, lol

Amazingly though, I just read on the ford forum that his insurance will be paying out!
Im gobsmacked at that.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Very lucky I would say.

 

[Chip-mk1]

I'd also say unfair on the rest of us who's premiums will go up, lol

Although I gather it was insured through the RSOC and it was an RSOC event etc.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Fk'n youngsters.
