Retro and Sportscar Action Day Bmw M3 Crash

[jim cook]

2 Clio's out on track on Saturday silver 172 orange wheels and a black 172 with yellow bullets

Managed to catch this Huge Bmw crash on Vid. Driver and passenger ok but his wallet will be abit thin. No trackday insurance either

Ouch, i would probably cry

 

[gaz44]

No insurance! Mental!

I hate the noise of a car crash, and thought of that driver thinking "s**t what the f**k am i going to tell the missus"

 

[Nigel]

Ooooft. That'd gotta hurt. Good to see they got out so quickly.

Lucky you turned round at the right moment.

 

[ant_r27]

Shame. Was it a csl too?


What actually happened? Couldnt really see from the vid, but looked like it was quite a fair bit down a straight.

 

[Beef-Mc]

I lol'd at the dual "ohhh'ss"

 

[Jamie86]

Me with the orange wheels!

Any pics only found one of mine coming in the pits and was out for 3 sessions

Yeah ouch!

 

[ukaskew]

Great catch Jim, nasty crash.

Don't ever remember a car going off that far from the exit of Quarry. A few racing incidents heading that way, but certainly not on a track day.

 

[Henry]

seems an odd spot to go off, was he struggling to sort oversteer or something?

Yeah ouch!

I've got loads of footage ( video) You got it sideways ( BIG time sideways afew times ) Its having the time to go through it all..


He got a tank slapper 2 laps before trying to get the a** end out and then this happened. Doh

Dont think its a Csl ??

 

[Russ_16v]

its got CSL wheels, where's Englebert when we need him! is it a CSL?

I think we have watched more trackdays than most over the years Chris ( at castle combe) and i cant remember one that far up the straight.

Better check my footage

Good spot :approve:

Whats the difference between Csl wheels and M3 wheels

 

[Henry]

i don't think i'll be able to port them over, but i've a couple of comedy vids of people through Quarry before the chicanes were put in; might have a look in a bit

Normal M3 wheels:

CSL wheels:

 

[seb]

kinda odd place to go off! gutting for the driver.

 

[Russ_16v]

must have braked late, and lost control, though thats a really flat piece of track, so god knows

 

[cliobritt]

that's mad, an M3 got written of yesterday too, MOT trackday.

 

[Peperami]

Its not a csl. Ouch though!

That was my attempt at killing the budget tyres the wheels came with

I did notice some camera's up there so thought i'd be rude not too :nono:

Video would be ace

Seen a few cars with a serious wiggle on coming out of Quarry and a little way down the straight, usually spin onto the harmless infield though if anything.

Very odd, especially as I'm sure Jim would have carried on filming his exit out of Quarry had it looked a bit dicey!

 

[Russ_16v]

yeah wiggling out of Quarry's fun lol, but he must have still been unsettled when starting to brake which is one big no no

 

[jesus]

If I could afford a CSL, I'd shell out for insurance.

 

[VeinAST]

OUCH.

 

[MarkCup]

Oh dear. Tankslappers out of Camp are commonplace. Going back for seconds is a it foolish though.

Agreed Chris . it wasnt that much out of shape on that lap:S:S

 

[Ash87]

whoopsie

 

[Gareth]

not a CSL as said, but agreed no insurance FTL.

 

[rich_h]

Just shows you how easily it can all go wrong. Not massively dissimilar to how I bumped my 172 on track.

 

[Ian_182]

How do you crash like that in a straight line.

Por car

 

[caister]

I don't understand why people don't take insurance out on trackdays.

The CSL has a curved spolier built into the boot lid so its just a normal M3

 

[AK]

I lol'd at the dual "ohhh'ss"

me too lol..

synchronised FTW

 

[Englebert]

Could be a CS which is a half way house, otherwise a normal M3 with the wheels.

That is really nasty, got to feel for the owner! Will see if he is on Mtorque and will report back!

 

[J03]

slow motion 'oooooooooooo' was halarious... shame though, such a beautiful car

 

[Brett]

Accidents happen. Although you would think he would have insurance n a car like that.

 

[Jamie86]

Jim any luck on the vids of mine?
