Been to the bodyshop yesterday and all will be sorted very soon
It's going thru insurance so that's good, seen my neighbours car yesterday and all damage he had was a small scratch on his reardoor which will polish out and his wheelcover that obviously catched my bumper, so no damage to his car

Nice pictures Marco, sadly the Ford factory is gone now...

Love the last picture, love the smell from burning some rubber. But good you have your window a bit open.

I once did it with all the windows closed and the next day you could still smell it

Hi folks, went to the Performance Ford trackday last monday at Brands Hatch in my Cossie

Trip started saturday morning at 07:00 AM in Holland to catch the Eurotunnel in Calais.
The car was filled with fuel and a set of Toyo R888 to go on track
All went well to the tunnel and we got on the train around noon.

After a short journey in the UK we went to Autospecialists - Airtec to drop of my R888 and catch up with Ronnie mis as we was staying with his family for the weekend

We chilled for the rest of the Sunday to get ready for a early start on Monday, alarm at 04:30 AM to get to Airtec to load op the van and Fiesta ST Ronnie was driving that day

As we came at Brands Hatch the weather looked not ok for track time as it was still foggy

So sign in and briefing was done, all now was to wait for the sun to break the fog

Fog eventually got out of the way at around noon so we could get ourselves on track

Did my sighting laps and 1st free ride on the road tires

Looks like you had a good time. Nice pictures and videos! The GoPro quality looks really good, which one is it? How did you attach it to the car and were you not worried of it falling off on track?
