The Rover should have gained control before he tried to rejoin the track.
This could of all been avoided if the Civic had some form of torque.

Clearly the Rover caused it, I just wonder whether the Civic could have prevented it. And if you want rules, Rover didn't issue consent for the pass haha think he was a bit busy

I never said that did i. If someone lost control of their car on road and crashed into someone (whether they done it on purpose or accident just for the benefit of nathy). It would be their fault, doesnt matter if the over car could of braked or not. Just because the civic could of slowed down does not mean its his fault. The rover is the one that lose control and went into the civic.

Civic should of been more aware of the rover & what was going on. He could of slowed down and the rover driver wouldnt of panic'd as much.

Even if the Civic had braked it's possible the Rover could have still hit it/him/her.

If it was myself in the civic i would have taken my foot of the go pedal and waited to see what the rover did, you cant predict what is going to happen, and when in a situation like an open track day and it is not racing, better to be safe than sorry.
I can see it from both sides, If i was in the rover i would have probably done my up most to get it back onto the track to get traction and avoid a barrier, whether thats the right thing to do or not, end of the day its your car and you want to save it.

I'm too chicken to do a track day. I'd have to buy a cheap track weapon specifically for it.

It was not a race was it?
I do not see why the Rover had to get back onto track so quickly, its not like he was losing positions.
If I had an off like that I'd probably stop and regain composure then try and rejoin the track if/when it was safe.

I say 50/50, Civiv could see the Rover was going off so he could of slowed down to try and avoid an accident. As for the Rover he was going to quick for the corner. So if it was me, I'd say the pay for their own damage.
The Rover driver should fully expect a punch in the face though.

The Rover could've avoided it by not falling off in the first place, the Civic could've avoided it by slowing down when he saw the Rover falling off.
If I was either driver, I'd be annoyed at the other driver then I'd go home and fix my car, unless the other driver offered to get it fixed but I wouldn't expect it.

In the situation the Rover was in, the best thing to do is to keep your foot in. More so with such a short run off area

The civic wasnt to know the Rover was going to try and drive back on the track? Granted he should have maybe slowed but i doubt that would have avoided anything. He saw him go off and was probably too busy concentrating on driving through the corner when boom, a rover sideswipes him.

100% Rover driver's fault for pushing too hard and leaving the track, then not having enough talent to wind the steering off before hitting the asphalt  Civic driver could've possibly moved to the right a bit, but probably would've got speared anyway. I certainly wouldn't recommend braking hard mid corner.

If the civic had backed off, whats to say the next car could of come flying round the corner into the civic that had slowed down.
But then again, spur of the moment. I don't know what my instinct would of been over what you should do.

That's pretty much my point, I get the impression that the Civic thought he could make it past.

that guy with the audi must be fucking nuts, a total tit thats a properly expensive car , and to go lashing round a track, is daft.
my corsa am building will stand me about 3k when am done. but thats cos ive went abit daft. if i crash that it will cost fuck all to fix or just break compared to that audi, i hope is wife gave him loads and loads of shit for that.
