Did you not over take him, I could've sworn I saw you come round on his tail and then on the next lap you were ahead and pulling away :wtf:

Maybe I got a bit of sun stroke :D

Hi guys.

I am the driver of the Clio.

I'd love to see what pictures you managed to capture of it!

Yeh I did try my best to avoid him, problem was I could only go left, if I went right I would have hit him anyway. The driver of the BMW was a proper ****. Didn't even think it was his fault. Got no apology from him or anything like that.

Me and the mrs are ok, my wrist took the brunt of it, and the missus's left side is aching, which is understandable really!

Hi mate. Didn't see it happen as I was in the paddock at the time. One of my friends said he could see you car through from underneath the BMW cos the BMW was so high in the air.
Seams he somehow got a tank slapper going on then collected you on his way to tyre wall.
I feel for you, far to many idiots out there Saturday !!

Geofs pictures can be found in picture gallery :)

Ah cool. Just found them.

A quote I made from when it was all fresh in my head:


Hi guys,

Yeh, basically the BMW had cut a few other drivers up, I'd seen this so had headlights on to improve my chances if him seeing me.

He cut me up twice on bobbies, then camp, then gave it the big one down the straight. Lost it on Folley where I throttled off because if this, he went onto the grass and got it straight, I then pedalled it again and he literally came from the grass straight into the front of me pushed me into the barrier hard.

Cars a total loss, roof is kinked etc. both me and the gf are ok, just slightly sore, my wrist has taken the brunt of it and the gf has a bit of pain from the seat belt/smacking her head against the window.

What a helmet, no need for that standard of driving. Just spoils other people's day. People like that give Combe action days a bad reputation.
Car insured or no ?
Glad no serious injuries !

Lucky for us we managed to avoid the main pack of each session as they let us out first but still got to keep your wits about you.

The megane crash was down to lack if concentration and talent also. As was the 306. Shame on these half wits :(
