Ring Crash - Yellow Clio

[AdamCup]

Shame as it looks like a sorted Clio. Hope this wasn't anyone's on here penmouth:ensive:

 

[Crybert]

Does look like a lovely clio however why is he making that manoeuvre there? Expensive mistake

 

[Feirny]

Is it a UK car? Can't see on my phone.

What manoeuvre? Look likes he just went too wide on exit.

 

[ADS_V6]

Oh s**t,looked a nice example

 

[James Mk1]

Yeah its a W plate and has a GB sticker on the back

 

[James Mk1]

Looks nice, LY Ph1 with Ph2 rear lights, colour coded side strips etc

 

[Crybert]

Entry looks too fast for me

Reg looks like W46 YLC from the s**t blurring.

 

[JB21]

No helmets and shorts at the most notorious track on earth, c'mon guys!!!

 

[loggyboy]

Wouldn't really call that a maneuver!

 

[SharkyUK]

The owner of the car was not driving, he was in the passenger seat... He'd handed the keys to his mate for the first lap He's pretty pi$$ed off as he was telling his mate to slow down and take it easy and then this happens...

 

[Nik]

CS pack sticker in the rear window by the looks of it

 

[massivewangers]

Oops!

Shame, looks a really nice car. Easy to make a mistake there though. I spun on my first ever lap and I thought I was going really slowly. Luckily didn't hit anything though.

Taken From The Owner -

"Yeh the Ring fee was €2300, Bongard want €500. The lad who crashed is / has paid everything, It's not that bad TBH. Needs full front panels / lights / NS inner wing / slam panel / chassis leg will need a jig. It'll live once he pays the bodyshop bill"

"Yeh it's a shitter, my pal who crashed it understands he has foot the repair bill / recovery costs so it's not too bad. Wouldn't have minded a lap in it 1st tho. He binned it half way round the 1st lap"

"the driver isn't on here, the owner is ... Me... And it was a combination of lack of talent and not listening to me telling him to back off numerous times. There's bound to be a clip on YouTube by the morning"

 

[DaveDreads]

Fairplay, at least he's a real mate and covering all the bills.

Shame he wasn't real enough to listen! lol

 

[lee M4RSH]

2300 euros for a bit of Armco and a sweep of the track.

Could at least fork out and get yellow / red lights instead of random blokes with yellow flags.

And what appears to be a random girl with a helmet but no hi vis on who thinks waving a yellow flag after the crash location helps!

 

[lee M4RSH]

Yeah i seen that lol.

 

[andyj007]

er why would you need a marshal on a tourist day? it supposed to be sight seeing... no different to driving on the le mans road in france... unfortunately tho you will always get unskilled muppets behind the wheel who lack discipline and cant help the right foot with unfortunate expensive consequences.. no one was hurt luckily..

 

[MarkCup]

If I was driving a mates car and he told me to back off then I would back the f*** off regardless of how talented I think I may or may not be.

At least he's doing the right thing afterwards. Hopefully lesson learned.

 

[adamlstr]

A real mate would've listened and backed off.
Probably wouldn't have taken the keys for the very first lap either.

 

[JamesBryan]

Could have been corrected with a bootfull of right foot i reckon. You can see how the back steps out over the dirt with little correction being made to recover it.

Feel sorry for the owner.

 

[Mr Burns]

I let my brother drive my car on the 'Ring and I think I could've ridden my Bmx round faster, but at least he respected the circuit and my car.

By the way, last year my mates turbo blew and dripped oil on the track... That was a €2k bill too!

 

[JB21]

By the sound of it its just not worth the risk going to the ring, just so much agro if something goes wrong...

The circuit only punishes the brave and stupid. Any half decent driver who knows his limits will be fine. If you've driven a UK racetrack even better.

Its not me the worries me mate its the other drivers, there's such a broad range of skill levels and performance classes its crazy, plus the amount of traffic, It just looks like chaos to me.

 

[adamlstr]

I haven't been since 2008, it was pretty crazy back then.

If I did the ring again, it'd probably be on a TD, not a TF day.

 

[ForceIndia]

I'd like to do a track day, but zero interest in tf days.

 

[James]

Midweek TF days are good if you want get a few laps in. Last time I was there you'd be stood at a viewing point 2 or 3 minutes before you saw a car come past

 

[Mr Burns]

Personally I think it's only YouTube that makes the 'Ring look scary as they only show the accidents. Having said that I've been very good at sensing danger!

 

[JB21]

Bit of topic this well sort of but I'm at Oulton on Tuesday and there's 76 attendees, is this normal? Seems a hell of a lot of cars to me, especially with some of the different cars that are there, ranging from clio's and ctr's to BAC Mono's, Atoms and Radicals, bit nervous TBH as look how quick this thing will be coming up behind us...

76! That's nothing, been on there with 85 a few times :wink:

It's not too bad as everyone won't be out all the time. Stay till the end as well, we have the best sessions then when loads have gone home.

Who's down to drive the Mono? Probably won't be as quick as Oli Webb.

Oh haha

They won't be able to go that quick if there's traffic.

Go speak to Oli too, he'll give you a few tips. Nice guy.

Will do mate. Am I right in thinking there's 2 of these flying around then...:sweat: They're near 30s a lap quicker than me and near 40s a lap quicker than my pal, might just bang a novice sticker on the back, LOL.
