thats certainly an odd one.

not knowing how evo's handle but would there be an AYC issue there?

i hope the damage is minimal?

From the feedback of the staff if anyone was going to have an accident, it would have been him. Two seperate people made the comment to me that he was very bolshy in the briefing and when signing on. I have no idea if this is just tittle tattle but there you are, they were not surprised.

As far as damage was concerned, the front doors looked out of kilter and the chassis was a bit bent or so it looked.

I think the best and most succinct quote I have heard in years of going to this sort of thing is 'Only gamble as much as you afford to lose' This guy was gambling with someone elses money, which is simply not on in my book.

not sure?

some recovery companies do pick cars up from race circuits but i have been told the RAC will not pick up any car within a certain distance from a motor circuit.

if you are lucky, you can get it towed otherwise its on a back of a lorry ( especially if it 4wd )
