TrackScotland trackday earlier in the year.

Tim and his daughter walked away unharmed.... but it was a very big off to say the least.

Think it was rear suspension failure....

and one of our boat on the same night...

Glad they were ok, could have been a lot worse. The skyline looks really good in that pic.

where is that crash?

Looks like the start/finish straight with the pit lane exit just in the background.

If thats right he'd have been doing a serious bit of speed there looks like he was lucky.

You never think you will crash in a straight line but it just goes to show you the risks you take.

Expensive!!!!
Defo the straight as the bridge is there, first I thought maybe somehow lost it on the slight bump at the top, but if suspension failure....ohwell.

Its fibreglass, have you ever seen a fibreglass bodied car in an accident before? I saw a tvr in a 40mph collision that looked a lot worse than that due to the body shattering. The same sort of crash in a steel bodied car would just leave a big dent and not rip half the flimsy body off.

To those saying it isn't that bad, I wouldn't want to watch my daughter skelp anything at 130mph tbh. It looks bad enough, glad they were ok.
