Hi all

One of our customers Paul Cowland runs a Golf Gti in a saloon championship. We've sponsored it for the last few years doing alignment and other work he's asked us to carry out but very much a DIY racer and built most of the car himself only in his 2nd season and doing really well.

Unfortunately, he had a big crash at Brands on his last race - all safe and sound (only whiplash) but sadly the car is a little worse for wear.

Take heed for all of you track day warriors amongst you.....motorsport is Dangerous!!

Does look nasty.. shame there wasn't a bit more width in the track.. looks like he was on the way to recovering it.

yeah, thats what what he said just as he ran wide......

He just over corrected rather than riding it out with a small amount of steering correction. Easy mistake to make.

But thats what racing is all about the danger of driving flat out. Ive seen many a car roll in the kitty litter at brands.

At least he didnt try and blame the car and admitted he simply lost it.....
