Got my interest going now...... What happened?

rather like a gymnast to say the least... he lifted off on the fastest corner, then braked, did a couple of spins across the grass and the wheels dug into the very wet grass... over in slow motion.. and lands back on 4-wheels.. Totalled, sure some one will have pics on scooby net or what ever the forum is...

I was the one following pretty closely behind as he spun, made for an interesting few seconds until I realised the way past was safe. He and his passenger were apparently ok apart form a cut finger and he had track insurance and apparently wasnt too bothered. Was a great day, strangely I enjoyed racing in the wet, and it was good to see how well all the VX's went compared with all the other stuff there (usually being better on track). Good to meet all the other vx'ers. Until next time. Martin s

Really well organised day - pity it didnt dry out more. My only fustration was that I missed loads of track time due to hanging around for the instructor. Good to hear the instructors enthusiam for VX/Elises - reckoned they were the best cars there - even over and above the 911......with the tasty girl driving. I did manage an impressive spin by the "wiggle" bit. Great track layout as well - really challenging and ideal for light cars.
