6 month old Megane Crash @ Castle Combe today *Action Pics*

[nick172sport]

For anyone that only heard about it... Poor guy, feel really bad for him - Caught the grass at the braking point with the pass. side wheel going into Quarry, which then dragged him onto the grass, down the tire wall, then he bounced round a few times before driving off again!! Only managed to get it half way through.

One lap before.....

 

[Fletcher]

Ouch. I saw this parked up looking sorry for itself.

 

[Knuckles]

Aww no hopefully he Has insurance

 

[Lawro]

I would be distraught.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Ooosha that's a sore one!

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Fingers crossed he was insured or he's in deep s**t!

 

[Adamm.]

Lol

Obviously never wrecked your own car before then?

​Gutted for the driver .

 

[klem]

gutted for him/her

 

[Nyall]

Ouch. Feel sorry for the driver! Hopefully he is insured/it's not a write off.

 

[Pete.]

I'll post my pics up later . It looked awful and the worst thing was he just drove straight back on to the track and crawled back to the pits without checking the damage. It really did look a mess.

 

[JON13S]

Saw this too from the other side of quarry. The ultimate risk you take at action day. Every panel was mashed, bit silly to keep trying to drive off I case he was spilling fluids.

 

[JezzaMac]

He was probably to embarrassed/upset to get out and have a look at the damage he had done!

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Oh dear oh dear

 

[Richyy182]

Poor fella -looked nasty

 

[Djw John]

Unlucky seems it was an eventful day at Combe today, these action days seem to be wild.

Hope he had insurance, I'll never take a car on track that I couldn't get a reasonable amount back for in parts and will be a lot happier when it's not my daily!

 

[DaveDreads]

I'd be upset if I smashed up my £2k dog kennel,
​I don't know what state i'd be in if I wrote off a brand new car.

 

[JohnnyE]

Gutted for him

 

[Matt Cup]

Poor Megane, I'll post up my pics of it from the other side of Quarry.

 

[Steve]

It is the risk you take.

Looks like driver error to me.

People forget start off slow & build up & stay within 'your talent range', step outside this & boom!

 

[ColinG]

Nasty smash and unfortunate

But I find it hard to be sympathetic, you take your car on track at your own risk, which means you cant expect too much sympathy when you stuff it and you haven't arranged track day insurance

Thankfully, my car is much better than I am so I'd like to think I'd bottle long before my cars limits on a track day

 

[mattygreen]

Ouch I'd be gutted, have some sympathy for the owner/driver... insured or not...

Same here, i've misjudged corners on the road before and the dog kennel's just pissed all over them,
I don't have the skill to push my car when the tyres are warm,
​it's far better than I am at driving.

 

[MancmanRS200]

Ouch and nooooooooooo i feel his pain and it aint even mine.

 

[Matt Cup]

​

 

[DaveDreads]

Yeah, he's f*cked that right up.

Expensive day.

 

[Lal B3N]

Poor bloke

How will track insurance work then if he has it? Decent wack of excess then it just gets repaired or written off?

 

[ColinG]

How is it 6 months old on a 11 plate??

 

[Steve]

Reminds me of the damage in this classic, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEPwDIGWYug&sns=em

 

[lemonnobby]

I think i might know the chap. If it is who i think it is he knows combe very well.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Not a good day at combe!

 

[Matt W]

Oh dear. I would be upset!

​

 

[AliasOmega]

Lol @ the plate shown in the pictures.

HY11XYH is 2 years old.

 

[nick172sport]

How is it 6 months old on a 11 plate??

That's my mistake!
I overheard someone saying he was the guys friend and HE only had it 6 months.
Title error ftl

 

[Naith]

Never nice to see. We all know the risks but its major c**ty to laugh at the boy.


Saying that nothing surprises me on here now with some of the clowns, it's an enthusiast site.

 

[MG cup]

Ouch. Doesn't look too bad tbh that would repair for about 2-4k (if suspension/chassis is alright) max doing it yourself, looked liked more of a glancing blow than a full on pile into an Armco.

Cant ever see that made a total loss being its a 20k + car, he's still going to cry himself to sleep tonight though.

 

[SBV116]

s**t, gutted for him, looks like an expensive repair to my untrained body shop eye.

 

[Andyman]

Brave man to track a decent car like that. Brave or stupid?, its a tough call

 

[Sam@NP]

Air bags didnt go off but I'd guarantee some level of suspension damage. 5k easy.

 

[Martin.]

Ouch. Poor fella. Easily done when a wheel just hits the wet grass. I did it at comb once before too. Luckily I didn't go very far though.
