Gutted for you man. As said, at least they are ok. I can imagine how challenging this track may be, it was the only one getting on my nerves in video games.

You know I've been prepared with a track car, only for things to go horribly wrong before getting to drive it! I feel your pain.

As everyone says, it held together and kept the occupants safe so thats the main thing.

May never enter the 'ring though!

that is a bin job by the looks of it. has the hatch twisted and pushed up the roof too so there is a crease across it??? looks heavy.

Not sure mate to be honest about the roof - but he tells me that it won't open ...

Wishfull thinking but maybe, boot, bumper and a pull on the rear quarter to straighten and she'll be good enough for a few more laps over here. Gutted about the exhaust though - it was awesome....

Don't see what all the fuss is.

Motorsport is dangerous. It's plastered everywhere at British tracks. Doesn't matter what track you go to.

The damage isn't that bad. Parts are so cheap now you will get a bumper and hatch in the right colour for less than a ton. The exhaust could be made to go again.

The rear quarter is the only panel that would require a body shops attention.

I reckon with the bits it could be sorted for £300 or break it and buy another.

No loss either way.

Doing trackdays is a risk with any car.

Airfield trackdays are about the safest place to do a trackday. Race tracks are always a risk.

Do you get the same buzz at an airfield ? Err no.

But at least the only thing you can hit is either another car or a cone !

Or have mechanical failures.

Don't think that looks too bad Dan, might not look pretty when patched up but should still do the job..

MG6Turbo · 11-03-12, 09:37 AM

DAVE you try using an I phone whilst being driven by Jack Goff !

Frustrating but doesn't look too bad.

As George said - it doesn't look so bad, it's a track car and not a show car so repair it - pull the wing, replace the hatch and fibre glass the bumper, bit of rattle can to give some colour, repair the exhaust and try again

but

this time try a local track.

And if the car drives - why did they have to pay the E1200?

No good mate but least everyone was ok and the car was still driveable as well as being possibly repairable/breakable

I think it would be possibly be for damage to the track, call out for crash crews or something similiar maybe??
