Oh dear - "The ring" claims our ZS !

[Smokey]

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..

[Quadcam24]

very first lap....why, what caused the accident?

sorry but this is why i would never go halves on a car, yes you may get your money back but what about all the hours and

excitement thats now lost.

How can anyone have a genuine excuse for crashing on the first lap after 4 minutes, unless someone hit him and knocked him off ,

or he had a mechanical failure of some sort, if not then im afraid i would be fuming.

Im sorry but what george said is right, it is dangerous and you have to accept that, but any driver has to respect the track

(especially the ring when your a noob, the ring hasnt gained its rep for nothing !! ), the conditions, your skill and experience etc.

I have done iro 40 trackdays and never had a shunt and that includes many new tracks, rain soaked tracks, even slick tyres on a

wet track and i don't say that to boast, im not the quickest driver by far but what i can do is read the conditions and know mine

and the cars limits...and anyone who goes on track, especially in a car part owned by some'one else, has a responsibility to do the

same.

My apologies if this post makes me unpopular but its just unacceptable.

Build your own car mate and drive it yourself.

p.s do you like my george style, gap between every line, post ,lol

Sorry was that a bit insensitive of me

As long as the suspension didnt get bent it could live again.

What gets me is where do they get the 1200 euro to drag it of the track.

[MG6Turbo]

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

[talkingcars]

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?
