Saxo rolled at Oulton

[Tony Hunter]

I would think that he was so relieved at not hitting the barrier and then missing the marshal post tyres,by that time he was back on the circuit and bang.
Basically s**t happens.
But don't all jump on the band wagon that the blue car is totally at fault.

 

[Sam@NP]

It was totally avoidable if both drivers had applied some common sense.

 

[Marky_]

Out of the frying pan into the fire.

You're right, certainly not as clear cut as it first seems.

Thankyou Sam.

Haven't read the entire thread, and never drove on track, but my opinion is, if i was in the black car i would of been thinking about backing out / getting over a bit, after all he was on the grass with f*ck all grip / traction.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Another one who see's the light.

THIS.

Anyone that has been out on a track can see this.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Nice to see peoples opinions are changing slightly now.

 

[SBV116]

common sense really? in the blue cars defence, they are f*cking racing? i know there are always safety issues, but surely he aint expected to sit on the grass until the world and his wife have passed him?? not like he was coming the wrong way or making a sharp turn / sharp angle.

preventable, accidents happen, everyone's ok, so hey ho!

 

[Sam@NP]

Troll

I must admit,if it was me and I saw a car that had gone off (nobody was unsighted here) then I would approach with a little caution,maybe a little lift or brake even,not just keep ploughing straight on into a possible accident.
The guy has just come off the grass ffs,he could be going anywhere,have a bit of sense.

Rob I'm surprised at you,not all the blame is on the blue car.

Because it is an amateur race series, its simply not on to throw all caution to the wind and keep your foot in with absolutely no consideration like that, IMO. Yes, everyone could have slowed down, but the guy was wrecking his own race, no need to risk others for what is meant to be a 'bit of fun'.

 

[Mr Burns]

Whoa!

 

[SuperJ]

Superb commentary!

I was just saying that the guys on the circuit have got more chance of slowing down than him,he's on grass they are on tarmac.
I did notice that he hasn't really braked if at all,probably through fear of hitting the barrier.

I'm not saying he's blameless,just a bit miffed at everybody just jumping on him with all the blame.

Luv's you.

 

[Englebert]

You've shagged his wife, haven't you!

 

[SBV116]

^ lol!!

 

[Tony Hunter]

You've shagged his wife, haven't you!

s**t,found out.

 

[Alex H]

Aaaand, everyone with a track car goes off to buy some window nets...

 

[Sam@NP]

Seats with head restraint, polycarbs should be a must for minimum MSA imho.

 

[Jay Payne]

Wave to The Wottingers!

 

[Pearcy]

Is this saxmax? You'd think they'd make extra safety precautions because they're kids. Anyway was nice to see this and picture of an exige that rolled before my trackday there today... :banghead:

 

[Alex H]

Stock hatch, so adults. My car has head restraints on the seat, but a far less substantial cage :S
