Agree with everyone. It's one of the best for action on a raceday. I have seen loads do it, spills or not, wet or dry, and they all start at same point on track so more than just a coincidence. A lot do get away going the same as Jim but others where the noble ended up. A lot of shit drivers...well obviously if you come off it's because you've made an error but some corners are less forgiving of a slight mistake for some reason. What you getting for christmas anyway shim? :-)

Jim ya cheap skate get a camera mount Like shim said it started with running that high curb,you would have been ok but it just unsettled it,then just after the apex that camber falls away and you should be taking a bit of lock off as wheels suggested,but hey ho it all goes on the CV

cheers mate I thought everyone had forgotten about my little trip at lodge Yeah i'd not had the KW club sport on the car that long and decided to do a bit of knob twirrling as usual at track days you are talking while messing with the car and I had turned the compression in at the back to full hard and just forgot while chatting to wind it out to said number of clicks I set off out of the pit lane down to cascades and the backed itself into the bend and nearly had me off, I wasnt that worried because there had been a fluid spill in the morning there, luckily I had got held up in most corners til druids and same again thing came round on me so I thought i mist of got a puncture. Down to lodge at 2/3 th pace and on the exit the thing just spun even the bulgarian judge would of given me 5.9 It slid along then kisses the rear bumper on the barrier cut a long story short back into the pits 15mins later the car was sold to Hazy. So it all turned out well in the end lesson learnd dont twiddle with a knob if someone is talking to you |
