Very. It could all have ended very differently.

Yes, you only have to look at my car pics to see that! I hit the gravel trap side on and it all ended in tears

Mike's car never looks like lifting. That gravel must be a pretty thin layer but very effective. Someone mentioned that the gravel traps are mostly mud at Knockhill. A very lucky escape.

don't let the wife see those!!!
A very lucky escape indeed.... i guess the pictures confirmed my fear that i hit that gravel at very high speeds.... but as others said, no lifting at all....
i put some of that down to the very stiff supsension and uprated roll bars!
Still..... if your but pushing, your not trying! :-D
Roll on brands! 8)

VERY lucky !!
Declan has nearly rolled each year in that gravel trap, which is pretty deep and you get warned about in the track breifing as its the one thats notorious for rolling cars. Ive been over it at around 90mph on full lock with full manfoot to get out the other side before !!!!!
Nice one Mike though, in fairness it must be very difficult for all you Sccob drivers from staying out the grubby stuff given the cars are designed for ploughing !!!

More importantly, the main question has to be, why is such a car sporting what looks like Lex-chav lights :?: :?: :?:

Didn't like to ask that, maybe they were already on the car? Best give him the benefit of the doubt as he can actually drive, rather than being a poser

I know he can drive, wasn't doubting that
The facts remains tho, I think we need closure on ths issue....
