Cripes - you lot are harsh!!!!

You sure that wasn't the one that was being harrassed by another Evo - so he moved off the line to let the other pass, then didn't get back online quick enough - straight into the tyres as a result..... :sad:

As long as he wasn't driving like a muppet and being a hazard to others - I feel sorry for him whatever the cause - none of us would want it to be one of ours. :sad:

Serves him right for goinbg out on track with a new braking setup that hadn't been bedded in....

This is what I was refering to - not the jokes.......

I recall the Scooby at Trax that suffered even worse damage - someone put a dentmaster/chipsaway card under the windscreen wiper and you had to chuckle at that...... but saying it serves him right - I reserve that sort of comment for someone driving dangerously and putting other people's cars at risk.

Either way..........no matter how he did it whether his reactions

were not quick enough/slippery track/wrong line/red mist.........

whatever im sure he didnt go out to wreck his car,i just hope he

had trackday insurance and will be repaired soon coz they are

wicked cars..............how many Lexus' on the track<cough> :whistling:

as someone who has done many track days before i know how difficult

it can be to out perform your abilities-trying to catch the person in front

(2 big offs at brands hatch)on a YAM R1.When i've sorted handling on the Lex

i will deffo be doing them :yahoo:

If I've offended anyone I apologise....

I just can't understand if the tale of the new brakes is true how you could out on track so quickly without testing the brakes properly and letting them bed in.

As for muppets on track, I didn't see any in either of my sessions, both of the Scoobies on my firstsession were much, much quicker than me, but they both still held back on corners and waiting til the indicator to come on to zip past.

I think the level of driving at Japfest was a lot better that the recent CCC Day and a lot more enjoyable for us less experienced drivers...

Even if that were true ..... I still feel sorry for her.

The version of events I was told was somewhat different though .... apparently the girl driving was being 'pushed' and pressured by Norris' Evo behind...... she was driving quicker and being badgered. Now obviously - she should have slowed down, moved over, and let him get out of her life - but we have all made errors of judgement and apparently the result was, she was driving beyond her ability, moved offline to let him through, didn't get back on line and ended up ploughing into the tyrewall as a result.

We don't know which version is correct - but we do know that both her and her passenger were taken off to hospital with injuries..... and she has a seriously damaged car. I sympathise.

I don't like seeing nice cars all busted up. :crybaby:
