Exactly, they don't want any Allan Simonsen-esque crashes.
Hope Danny is back on track soon, as others do - I enjoy his exploits! He's certainly saved a few slippery high speed moments at Cadwell that I remember.

Lol thanks for the replies guys. Car is back home now as above. Got away lucky with the crash I think, the suspension turrets etc are all straight, just the front of the chassis leg is mangled and bent. Considering having a detachable tubular front end from the turrets forward. Should save a bit of weight and also look damn cool. The cost wont be much more than having the legs jigged etc anyway. We'll see what happens yet.
Yeah TGT emailed me asking to use one of my clips, not sure what for yet though, it could just be for their own promotion on Vimeo or something that no one will ever see (Like those holiday videos @Jason_E does). Hopefully I make an appearance in the main show but who knows.
Regarding the cause of the crash crash, I don't know how anyone can argue against mechanical failure. You can hear what sounds like one of the straps break away the corner before the crash, then I presume the other let go as I was going around the fateful corner. The reason for mechanical failure is no doubt an oversight on my behalf. Those who keep up with the car will know it's on the ramps a lot, I've just never really thought to check. I did change the fuel tank 3 years ago but didn't notice any corrosion etc whilst I was there.
It was kinda annoying having people suggest lift-off-oversteer, or oil on the track etc. There's still comments daily telling me that the Megane must have clipped me or that my tyre must have punctured. The internet truly is marvellous at diagnosing the cause of accidents, but that's one of the negatives you get with sharing the story along the way.

I'd love a K20 Elise... There was one at Croft on Sunday in the Javelin Sprint Series. It got off the line ridiculously well and was winning its class when I left.
Lol this guy got a lot of hate on here a few years back iirc, sure he posted a video of him racing on a dual carriageway with his missus in the car or something along those lines..
Looks like a good driver anyway remember seeing some of his ring laps a while back and he was giving it the beans. That rear end snapped round bloody quick in his accident. As mentioned bound to have accident when you drive that hard especially at the nurburgring.

Looks like a great driver imo. Think he was the chap with the obscene in noise exhaust. I like his blogs, which for me says a lot as most others are garbage
You mean this one?
My money's on the handbrake cable getting yanked by the tank dropping out.

Very, look great fun. I'm so tempted to just do the whole Honda thing tbh.

I'd have an EP3 as a track car any day.
So tuneable with engine mods, suspension, there's loads of parts around for them.

Yeah I do think the older civics would be hardwork.

Find a decent shell and K swap the engine then an EK/EG would be sound.

Expensive to tune and fix though compared to a Clio, i had a very high spec ep3 with 260hp and while it was bloody fast the extra size, weight and s**t steering lock was always an annoyance coming from 172's. I would have another again as the K20 motor is a beaut and the whole drive train takes a beating, reliable slags but i think a 172 with a diff and 200hp would be just as much fun round a track if not more.

Hi I have the opportunity to get hold of a gen5 civic 1.4 that I think is in great shape (day that I have not seen it for a while) . Just wondering if it is actually worth anything.
