Had abit of a prang.

Car  Disco 3 &4 1993 mini
So I was at the brand trackday today, it was nearing the end and Tyres were getting colder I over cooked it and spun. No one around me so I let the car roll back so the rear wheels were in the gravel so I was out of the way. Yellow flags came out everyone past apart from one guy who thought it'd be a good time to try and overtake. Now for those of you that know brands the last corner in the sort of weather stays wet on the outside. So he then understeered straight into me. Anyway me and my mate have whiplash but otherwise ok. Pics below.

Jeez nightmare, I hope the guy was reasonable about it if he was acting the big d*ck and threw you something towards the cost
 
Na he's not give anything towards it he blamed me.

His car was quite bad too but not as bad as mine.

No idea on plans yet maybe repair and sell.

Defo wanted to smack him but as soon as I got back garage I went for walk for a while.
 
Did he admit it was his fault ? I know nothing can be done as there is no insurance but he most feel guilty ?

Hope you get it sorted mate.

Sam!
 
If the yellow flag was out how did he think it was ok to overtake or that it was even remotely your fault!

I would of gone for him tbh
 
Oh I popped down to watch abit earlier just after lunch but missed this, gutted to hear, your car looked great on track.
 
So you were as good as stationery, under yellow flags, and he ploughs into you and claims you are at fault?

WTF? Needed a smack really, you did very well not to!
 
Ouch! always a worry when doing track days, when doing track days im always more worried about other drivers

Ouch!!! Shame.

Makes me feel some comfort knowing the elise is insured when I am take it on track!
 
What a knob, I can't believe he blamed you. Yellow flag ffs!!! I'd have been mad as fcuk. Gutted for you mate
 
Yup, on a yellow flag I woudl have wanted something, no flag then i could understand, but a yellow flag out he should have been slowing down, defiantely not over taking
 
Fell really sorry for you. Hopefully the engine and box is fine.

Can't believe he came and blamed you for it.

Definately. I'd have at least given him a slap.

Bang out of order is that.
 
Saw this on Facebook earlier.. s**t bad luck mate :(

especially after all the hard work you put into it!!
 
that sucks mate, all the time and prep gone into this, followed the project. cant belive the d!ck tried to blame you, how you kept your cool i dont know
 
i would have smashed his teeth in mate but doesnt always help...sorry to see that looks pretty cream crackered
 
Hope your okay Lee, you must be properly gutted! Went to see the S3 after looking at yours and I overheard the chump who was driving say to his mate say 'well thats motorsport for you!' Trust me I wanted to slap him for you, that kind of attitude needs beating out of him especially when its just a trackday! Was worried in the morning that having a couple of Time Attack cars going round on a normal trackday could lead to potential problems.

Hopefully you can get it sorted, one way or another. :)
 
Gutted for you mate, takes the piss attitudes like that on trackdays. Hope it's repairable
 
thanks for the kind words guys, im lisping like a fool today after i bit my tongue on impact got a very stiff neck and back ache and my mates off work with whiplash. ive got a panel beater from down the road coming to look at it in a bit so hopefully il have some news about the state of car soon
