Last year i was at croft and was following a Radical, was doing impressively well considering he was a pro driver, on slicks but i missed my braking point by about 1/2 a seconds if that, at 130mph thats quite a distance. 
 
anyway here is the video. 
 
 
This was recorded from my monitor, i have the propper footage somewhere which i will upload. 
 
clam was a little bit of a mess as was the splitter, needed a new headlight and clam, luckily there was no damage to the suspension or anything else. 
 
Drove home looking like this caught some looks.

Im a ok. This happened last year, reason nothing was said was down to insurance but when i took the clam off and saw nothing was damaged under it i figured i might aswell get it repaired myself. Im supprised nothing was damaged. Not even the crashbox. Need a new tow eye tho if anyone has one.

Think you would be better suited to a front wheel drive car with maybe 100 bhp as this must be to quick for you. I reckon your car is a cat B now 😄
