Congrats to Duncan for his deserved 3rd place - just glad it stayed dry for you :)

As for comparing times from last year, all the quickest cars from last year would have been in club pro this year, so it's hard to compare times.

I don't understand why Shane Smith was in Club - he was 2nd last year with a 1.32 and this year qualified with a 1.33 - which would have put him 4th in Club Pro qualifying this year. Something not quite right there!!!

Anyway, big congrats again to Dunx - but I can't let this happen, so I'm gonna compete at Silverstone in a non turbo car and kick your arse!!! :)

great reesult dunc glad spenbding paying off!! :-d

surely even the greatest driver can get it wrong

theres no getting away from great saying gamble with as much youo can afford to loose,

i had crash last year that could have been my fault could have been some one elses main thing is kev is ok and im sure will be back out there asap

shoe on other foot most out there can barely afford to be there so if you have to pay damage to some one elses car if worst happens doesnt seem right to me and even more confirms me watching from sidelines

The yellow Evo completly missed his braking point (at over 130mph) into the hairpin, locked up and slid into me as I was at 45 degrees to him entering the corner.

The driver admitted his fault, but the bill will probably be with me unless he has the ability first and decency second to help out with the time, resources or funds to get me back running ASAP

I was spun around and lightly tapped the tyre wall.

Front end is fine but .....

My car is now shorter on the drivers side, once we opened the door today you can see the ripple ....

On top of that I have Identied the following damge so far .....

Written off every single suspension arm at the rear.
Writen off the rear subframe
Squashed beyond repair the fuel filler tube
Smashed, to a repairable standard the rear bumper
Smashed the rear over-fender from the wide arch kit.
Totalled the OE rear quarter
Bent the rear suspension strut
Smashed the sideskirt - maybe repairable
Smashed the brand new, rear wheel
Damaged the pretty new R888
Cracked windscreen

Broken the splitter, bent the tow hook and grazed the front bumper when I hit the tyre wall

2 weekends before knockhill, 5 before silverstone .... might just get the car sorted for ten of the best at this rate.

Anyone wanna buy a knockhill or Silverstone slot?

I passed you a couple of times on the way home Kev and by the looks of your car on the trailer it didnt look too bad.
But sorry to hear you have found so much damage, that is quite a list :cry:
Cross fingers you get some compensation from the other guy and that you get it repaired soon.
