Unlucky Graham mate, Sounds like an expensive weekend for you! Hope everything can be fixed on the MPS easily enough...

I'm trying to figure out by your description and I'm thinking it's the left hander before the hair pin to go back down the foxhole?

almost around here?

That's the one, except I started to go sideways before the rumble strip things even start on the left, was sideways for ages and before the corner even started. And I hit the left side of the circuit, I'm sorting my pictures out now

Yep very expensive, especially judging by the £2500 quote I got today thanks to the price of Mazda parts

Whenever I approach that corner I see that video in my head and im always overly precautious through it.

It's quite a technical corner really, with the bumps etc before hand!

yup... i often crash there on computer games

But yeah for real too it's hairy... I always find I go over the crest lifting slightly, then back on the power, then scrub down to about 110-120 and just turn and hold a steady line with slight power on.

It's a fairly well known area to crash, so I wouldn't worry about losing 'respect' or anything Graham.

The fact you say you slow down to 120 tells me I wasn't going too fast then as most people have been telling me. I was doing that speed before I even started turning, it started to spin whilst I was still straight!

Can't believe Tony's PAS pipe broke again, I bet he's PISSED!

nah he carried on with no pas and never got caught. Fuck paying 720 euros again! Graham 130 is a bit overkill through there, even if u got through the corner you probs wouldnt have been able to slow enough for the right hander that follows

I'm not really sure what speed I slow down to... I know going down the hill I'm hitting about 140-150.

From about 1:54 on that vid ... definately looks like i slowed a bit.



Steve, Ian would've been able to get 9 minutes flat in his puma.
