Well, as Les went through the esses he hit a wet patch that threw him off the track and then into the barrier :x

I don't blame George for checking and I'm pleased to see that you got consent Dan :thumb:

Such a shame to get bitten like this on a trackday Les. At least you own a valeting firm ;) :wedgie:

:lol: hey ho , thats the chance you take when you go out on track :smash: little bit of tlc and a couple of bits and it will be out again. good to meet daniel and slarty today , nice to put faces to names .conditions were not great , wet patches everywhere and a mix of some icey patches made for an exciting lap . we must have done 40 or so laps before my little mishap , under bridge turning left for the esses , just passed a clio cup car and vx220 with a e30 m3 up my ass i went a little wide and put a rear wheel off the dry line and round she went . a big tank slapper and twatted the barrier hard just as i was near enough straight .

as you can see from the pics :o she aint pretty anymore .but a little bit of duck tape and a quick run back to the scene of the crash to pick up the trim and clips ( actually quite a lot of duck tape ) and we were back out again !

the rest of the day was uneventful for us , few slides here and there , but it looked like alot of people were struggling today .never mind looks like i will be on ebay tonight looking for bits :oops:
