[QUOTE=Dan1971;243006]He went flat out where he thought he could. Simple really - but he won't make that mistake again.QUOTE]

Well how else do you learn? This sort of thing could happen to anyone on any track, anywhere! How many people spin in on paddock hill bend at brands??!! Ok all be it there is alot more run off compared to the ring but still all the same.
Please dont be put off by going to the ring! its such an amazing experience! the people out there are friendly, with alot of like minded people around to have some good banter with.

My advice.....Take one lap as a "sighting lap" first to feel for the compresion, the bumps and the odd feel of the carousel and just enjoy it!

not only your mates do it Dan http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/news/de...?storyId=25392

Ouch .... and a hell of a lot more expensive !!!!

But then I guess he proberbly has a bit more money than the average Joe, seen that RS200?

Good news..................The track car will still be alive in heart, in our forum. I have bought its inlet manifold, so its lungs will be reused..........:flowers:

Andy said you'd been - didn't think you'd bought it though -

There are a few members that have got bits from it. Interior's gone - some other bits n bobs - but I'm surprised the engine's still there - engine and gearbox for £250 I thought was a bargain to be honest....

There's also the cat back stainless powerflow that he'll let go for £120 ish and a stainless decat that's got to be worth £40 ....
