Oooops! Luckily none of the airbags went off!
At least you didnt spend 10k+ on it to begin with!
Are the panels you bought the correct colour as its a fucker to match liquid yellow IIRC?

Really don't know was having a cool down lap and on the corner the rear just lifted and took me onto the grass hitting some Armco along the way. Destroying the post and 2 bit of the metal track was shut for an hour to repair it.

Didn't cost me a penny the track being closed! Other than EVERYONE giving me the evils for 2 hours while it was fixed!

You can understand their pain though! Although I've never heard of them shutting a track they just do it after the day is finished

They had to shut it as the armco was flat to the floor so it was useless to anyone else that could hit it
