col666 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 R32 golf was overtaking cavalier and Celica on the back straight when he ran wide onto the grass sending him across the track collecting the 2 others. no hot hatchers were harmed in the making of this crash[] I think Target tyres set-up his geometry[] Col.
Auldy Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 looks quite a bad wee bump, hope the had track insurance lol
col666 Posted October 15, 2006 Author Posted October 15, 2006 No i wasnt near it, i was getting pax laps with Andy in the xr2 so was standing in the pits at the time. KH have changed the rules for HH days mainly due to the Team Gimps videos on streefire.net[] no overtaking between duffus and the chicane which makes it pretty crap for spectators and drivers.
G.T. Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 kin hell ib be gutted if one of those were mine []
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Cool pics Col R32 looks highly tweaked and is wearing Toyo R888 rubber. Makes me wonder if there was a cold / greasy tyre issue !? Teams Gimps have a lot to answer for with their automotive " horseplay" [:^)] Cheers Cal
bigal024 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 What happens with regards insurance, if something like this happens at knockhill?. Could be a nightmare to sort out??
sheep Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Unless you have taken out track day insurance, you arent insured.
col666 Posted October 15, 2006 Author Posted October 15, 2006 As soon as you go on track your insurance in out the window unless you have specific track day cover. Celica was the only road car involved, the others were trailered track motors.
bigal024 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Oh dear. Someone would not be very happy then. Suppose thats the chance you take..
loafy81 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 the r32 is just out of bedrock veedubs, was being made super charged
craigwrx Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Ouch, one of the reasons i went with a-plan, £65.00 a day for track insurance.. Glad to here nobody was hurt [y] Craig
fai17 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I saw that car on friday at Meercat getting the hard pipe kit made up for the intercooler. Spoke to the guy called Tony and he was at the 2nd last SIDC knockhill day with a EVO 7 extreme..
st3ph3n Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 This is what puts me off going on track! I've seen you drive John. You'd clear the tyre wall before you landed [] Bandit - Whoops a doodle? Uh oh! Spaghetti-Os
Ross_ Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 the r32 is just out of bedrock veedubs, was being made super charged! the r32 was bought brand new and stripped and turned into a track car, never seen the road. according to a mate of mines who is close to him owned by a guy called davie who owns diamond tints the window tinting company in glasgow Not True mate , the car is owned by tony who had the Evo Extreme as has been said , was nothing to do with davie from diamond tints bar the advert on the side of it ... as for the cause The celica hit the rear quarter of the golf causing the full accident. Regards Ross
TSL 333 Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 That's wierd. I missed that track day - the first one I've missed this year as I was heading North on Sunday for a weeks surveys. I saw the VW being towed home about tea time and saw it was in a real mess. The guy never struck me as being a nutter from any of the other track days and it drives it home that accidents do happen and they can happen to anyone. Despite what you guys may think, accidents like that are few and far between on the Hot Hatch days. Team Gimps are also legends.
