Oh My God!!!!!! how the foook did you manage that pete? is it all front end damage? i tell you what...... NEVER EVER buy another Green car!!!! they are bad luck!!!

Preliminary GPS log analysis shows he'd have been doing ~80mph as he started the 'manoeuvre', maybe more as the GPS estimated speed was having problems keeping up. I'll see if I can get a more accurate figure from doing my own trig. on the coordinates.

Saw it as we came off the track :(

Managed a 9.03 this morning! :D

Might have been an idea to ask if the owner minds pics of his crashed car up on here first.

Sorry to hear about the car Pete, hope the armco bill wasn't too hefty.

The bill was not cheap im afraid... cost over 2,000 euro's in damages to the track and recovery.

And a very big thanks to Nige for doing what he did............he deserves to be crowned King VR6 for that

Defo!!! Nigel was running down past the corner before we even managed to get out the VR.

Dont let what happened spoil the weekend, im looking forward to building up a new VR6 now :)
