Trax is the worst driving standards I've ever seen on a uk racetrack. Fun though!Aren't you going on track at trax aswell?

What actually caused the crash?
. He was going well and clearly knew the lines so I'm surprised he lost it there.
He suffered from LOFT at Avon rise. It only happens to a few but when it does, there's nothing you can do but hold on and hope for the best.
have to say that was a shocking example of track day driving, and bloody glad i have always avoided action days
Id agree with all of that tbh, he was driving like a plonker, so the binning was inevitable. Re: the Destruction Derby's, i did one in 2004 in the Rallye, never again lol.
I hope you weren't being serious there , but alot of those line were not great , his attention to what was going on around him being poor started from the off. Very poor track day driving with little consideration for others , so what if the corsa did not want to let him past , back off and then take him somewhere else.
The reason he has the accident (without seeing a camera pointing at him) , the female passenger mentioned speed , and i absolutely guarantee he was looking down and missed his braking point .....

He wouldn't win a race but his lines certainly implied to me he had been there a fair few times before, agreed on his manners though, wasnt saying he was being polite, merely that he seemed to know what he was doing enough in terms of getting round the track that I didn't expect him to fall off in the dry in an empty corner.

i don't think he did , the car was settled fairly well but then drifted slightly right ,
she says how fast are we going ...... a second pause and the car starts to drift right , and he then says i am not looking .
LOFT; lack of f**king talent.
i agree he wasn't a total numpty , but he certainly wasn't good
i still beive he looked down at the clocks on the fastest part of the circuit where a secondary glance will mean you cover considerable ground .
it was in my view an accident waiting to happen from his first outlap overtake .... but hey his car his pride ,and he didn't take anyone out with him .
GLOL i seriously thought you meant that the car had gone light , which it does over avon rise ......... i think i should go and make a coffee LOL
Wasnt just you, I thought the same having felt what my car does there, lol
my worst moment giving instruction ever and the only time i have asked someone to go back to the pits was a cerbera at coombe ...... and yes i COULD see what speed we were doing !!
Feel really sorry for the guy, but he was driving very aggressively for a track day, admittedly not at the time of the crash. No heal and toeing going on so maybe not too much experience?
Must be something about TVR owners I had a brown moment with a billy at Brands in a Cerbera.
On the action days people generally do drive a bit harder than other days. Even I got told off by tony for overtaking too close to the chicane in the vid from saturday i put up, Its just one of those days where cause the track is so busy if you are 100 percent well behaved it can lead to you failing to make enough progress to really have fun.
Yeah I have heard these days are not for the faint hearted, think ill be avoiding them! Crashes are very common on these days arent they?
nothing to say it wasn't the same guy LOL , his talent was nowhere near keeping up with a bloody fast car and from the passenger seat there is bugger all you can do , once you have been quite insistant about something twice and its been ignored then i am outta there at those sort of speeds.
Possibly it was blue & he couldn't drive for toffee. I had another bloke the same day in a GT3 take me through the gravel at paddock (usualy story) didn't have a clue about vehicle dynamics or slow in fast out.
Tracking your daily FTL!
drive it of the track and crash it into bush? then the insurance company will pay out

I love how people presume that this is his daily, for all we know he could be a multi millionairre, this is just a toy for him, and he will go and buy another tomorrow....
