Chased a Caterham and ran out of talent...

[MarkCup]

Umm...great day at Goodwood today, dry, sunny, freeeeeeezing...and I just forgot that I don't weigh 500kgs and sit 50mm from the tarmac like Caterham's do...

9mb - 30sec clip - right click, "Save As..."

 

[biojo]

[Dan Page]

[TomS]

Whooaa

Any damage? not much I hope!

Thought you clipped it then.... lol

 

[Steviant]

PMSL, Mark, OMG, how close were you to that bank? I'm just glad I wasn't in the passenger seat for that one.

 

[Martin_172]

i had to watch that about 3 times to see if you hit the wall or not! was a close one

lucky!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Oopsey-daisy Mark

 

[fUbAr]

Why am i not suprised Mark?

Find the car's limit... and then see if it goes further

 

[Dan##]

Ooooops! New pants time! lol

 

[Guy]

[EVOgone]

[3000GT_PILOT]

foook me, heart in your throat!

 

[Craig]

[-TA-]

eeek!

coulda been nasty!

 

[Gareth]

close is not the word, fcuk me!!

 

[Liam]

lol, whats the damage? shame you lost it, was going good up to that point!

 

[seb]

can i buy your car off you please? looks like its well run in!

 

[MarkCup]

Ha ha ha...no damage whatsoever, but the car smelt bad all the way back to the pits!

It was bad enough that I felt guilty about getting the session red-flagged (by the time I got back to the pits, everyone else was stopped at the start line)...but then they made me drive round to where it happened, get a broom off the marshall, and clear the track of all the mud/grass...took me 10 bloody minutes and I was f***ed after LOL

I think I let the red mist take over while following the 7 , had to take both wheels off back in the paddock as they'd picked up so much mud that the steering wheel was shaking.

I took it a bit easy around that corner for some time after...

 

[Djw John]

Whoops!! What sorta speed was that at? Bet you were shaking a bit afterwards!

 

[RobertCL]

Nice vid. You were lucky there! I think I'd have been saying some more colorful than "whoops" though

Whats the beep about half way through?

 

[Martin]

close shave!!

 

[fUbAr]

Whats the beep about half way through?

Origin B2 warning speed alarm

 

[patty]

s**t me!!

 

[clio__chris]

lol i like the "whoops"

lucky to get away with that

 

[mattrt]

quality! 'daznt loyk this cowna daz ee'

 

[RobertCL]

Origin B2 warning speed alarm

Ah, ok.

Bloomin speed cameras - you've got to watch out for them everywhere now ! :clown:

 

[Rich]

Bloody hell how close!

 

[Christopher]

'ave it!!

 

[Cam]

whoops! lol

 

[edde]

I wish Clios wouldn't react like that.
Reminds me on incidents I've had exactly the same things.
Still you're lucky.

 

[JamesRT]

ROFL, If I would have been a passenger when it happened, you'd not only have to clean the the track but you might of had to clean your passenger seat aswell.

 

[Nik]

Looked very close Mark. Its a tricky corner that is. Spot on on the laps I went out with you on later though.

Agree with edde, I had a similar thing at FCS (Video). Not much you can do to save it once it really goes. Fortunately mine was at an airfield so there was plenty of run off though.

 

[Tom_16v]

Christ! I thought you'd had it lol!

 

[Day]

At least you found the limit at last and lived to tell the tale!

 

[MaLicE]

LOL mark that is hardcore, i can remember going out with you at brands and you saying "opps the brake peddle just touched the floor, brakes have faded to nothing" i replied "oh crap, so we are going back in to the pits then?" you replied "naaa will do a couple more laps yet, will just go sideways to slow the car down" i said "ermmmm ok" LOL!

 

[fizzy_drink]

OMG!!

What pressures were you running ?

was it low/hi front/rear ?

 

[Steve2004]

Flippin' heck. Close one

 

[dannyboy172]

Woooh, hold on to ya hats! That was a little too close for comfort! Could have been very nasty indeed! Was half expecting the front end to disappear into the tyre wall.

 

[Nebdingo]

"whoops"

LMFAO!!!

thats the sort of "whoops" you hear when a sudden gust of wind blows a womans skirt up and you clock it. NOT when you are 3mm away from totalling your clio!!

 

[CocoPops]

haha!!

classic "whoops" moment!
