[Jamie]

Wooo, I get to be the first with that illustrious joke.... "It'll T-Cut out?"

 

[planetx]

needs a splitter ha hahaha

 

[Greeny.]

wow thats fucked.

 

[Steve]

It's a risk you take.
The tourist days are becoming a lottery!

 

[Mr R.]

I have MOT worse....:rasp:

I genuinely can't understand why you'd hire a car with an 8000 Euro Excess! And then to top it off, drive it like a bellend!

 

[adam172]

ouch he most have been going some to get it like that .....

Have you been before?...I would say at least 50% of the crashes are caused by others...The place is bonkers, you lose your concentration for a second and you'll have somebody in the side of you at over 100!!!

He could have been driving sensibly and simply hit some oil left by a car in front or BP?

 

[Tom@JMS]

or BP lol.

If thats the case, you're even more retarded to hire a car with a 8000 euro excess!!

(No, i've not been)

 

[JamieG]

That happened whilst i was out there, was a real mess - a very very expensive mess for the unlucky driver too.

Thing is dude that places like Rent a race car (I presume the owning company of that car is a similar deal) they expect the cars to get ragged, thus don't offer low excesses. No one thinks they'll crash in advance either!

8000 euros though... Plus the Ring fees, that truck that picked it up won't have been cheap!

 

[Fred@BTM]

€200 for the truck, that's the cheapest bit!

Agreed.

 

[Bluebeard]

Has anyone on here crashed?

Or is all this talk of costs just internet speculation?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i know a few people have broken down, and someone off here crashed and did a runner

 

[Gumby]

The costs are listed somewhere iirc. Like that chap in the chavvy Astra would have been looking at a lot more than €8,000.

 

[ForceIndia]

I was thinking about going soon, but it just doesn't seem like a good idea tbh. The spread of speed/car/ability is too diverse. I'd rather pay for a track day there, expensive but worth it.

I'm going in August and tbh, i'm just going for the atmosphere and to see whats what. I will more than likely just do 1 maybe 2 laps.

I cant afford to risk doing anymore!

That's why the 200 won't be seeing a track. I couldn't afford to destroy it.

Just make sure you stay right, as if your on the left, and someone hits you, its YOUR fault. I always kept an eye out behind, as things come up behind you quick, the locals are rapid as well.

Not myself but I've seen receipts! lol.

To the sum of about 11k (euros), that included the rental car though...

you know i have a new found love for the place...but what atmosphere??? it may of been because it was a quiet evening time when we went but there wasn't "that great" an atmosphere

as for laps, its addictive...lol

for a total trackday novice (which i was, the ring was my first) i didn't find it too bad
