Sounds ominous...
Re: TA Rd5 Silverstone
Nothing that bad really.
Pro class was red flaged in qualifying when Marcus Webster lost a rear wheel off his R32/33
SVA Imports Evo 6 beat Olly Clark - Gobstopper II by 1 sec in the final

Re: TA Rd5 Silverstone
It not only shows the progress made by the top end Pro cars/drivers but really highlights how quick the Club cars have come on in the last 5 years or so, there are some epic times set throughout judging by the time sheets.
Re: TA Rd5 Silverstone
Saw that happen from the distance of the stands and to be honest they did well to get it back out again.....
Chris B and myself watched tha action from Copse corner for the final of the big boys playing, the difference between the big money teams and others was so obvious when watching them at full chat into Copse.....the big boys are full on the power by the time they are at the apex and the speed differential shows......
Richard Marshall arrived into copse flat out and sideways at one point and went past the point of no return flat spotted all 4 tyres I would have thought and never really looked like challenging again, SVA and Gobstopper 2 were in a good battle but SVA absoloutly nailed it.
Towards the end of the session there was obviously something on the track surface as at least 6 cars came through with huge wiggles on it took the TVR to end up losing it before the dumbass marshall put the flag out and even then only a yellow when quite clearly if he had his eyes open it should have been red and yellow slippery surface flag.
Then the session was stopped anyway.
Was some good quality cars there and loads of Chav stuff....... I can't help smiling though as the tunnel under copse was obviously a good excuse for peopel to rev up and make lots of noise ! Followed by cruching as the bottom of their cars hit hard concrete or steel sheets, as we went through (Quietly) thers was a trail of oil up the slpoe with a chaved up fiesta sitting at the top with all its life blood spilling from the sump and a very dejected looking oik sitting in his car !
Whoops
