I'd still like to know what happened, I was behind him, his car started smoking then the drivetrain looked to have locked up and it spun towards the in-field. Made a mess of the session, we waited an hour to complete the session.
Still, no one hurt so all good.
He split a hose and dumped steaming coolant everywhere. It must have gone under his rear wheels as I think that's what lost traction first from what I could see
I was two cars behind him and was already super conscious of not having track insurance, so was pottering around
After that, I called it a day

The spinner was carl from addicts. He bought grizzs place after failing his noise test..Joke!?

There is a vid of the spin on addicts, couldve been much worse.

Would have had pants to match my interior if it was me!

That corner haunts me after seeing the video of the guy in the silver B7 RS4 spank the tyre wall a few years back. I've

Over the years, I've seem a fair few crashes there, but most seem to end in the in field

I was really surprised grizz's RS6 failed noise test.

At the end of the day, its not a race...track time is just for a bit of fun...I always drive 6 or 7 tenths and leave traction fully on...I'm not Lewis Hamilton so I'd rather not take the risk as there are no points or prizes at stake.

When we finally got back out on track, I was last out on a random session that had a load of S3's, so I hung back for a lap to clear some space....then booted it and ended up catching them all up and then overtaking them all....R8 V10 on 888's on track is just unreal!!

This is the look bam gave me just after the fuel light came on. 15 mins later we were driving in the middle of no where looking for fuel, we bonded during this time :shock:

This was the fastest thing on the track, it was stupidly fast.

DK's car with the valves open sounds incredible. Could never get bored of that noise, Dave's V10 exclusive colour combo looks even better in the flesh.

Crickey I didn't even see that spin in my mirror !

Need to get some new discs and pads, that other S4 was out braking me, but he does have RS5 brakes on the fronts.

It's that haunting video of that silver B7 and the potential of a very expensive uninsured crash that really gets my nerves up
I did umpteen track days at CC in my Tvr and I end up thinking I'm Alonso for the sessions, but the combo of my Audi and castle Combe just makes me uncomfortable
Bedford with massive run offs is no probs, but cc just scares me :(

Amar, car looked stunning and glad i had the chance to see it in the flesh. was hoping to catch up with you but never saw you near it when I eventually found the 246 stand......

Were you not tempted for a sesh on track? New carbons would have been a breeze out there.
