"are you alright- yeh are you- yeh im buzzing man" that made made laugh the most.


to be honest watching from the start it was inevitable. no concentration and too busy talking. steering wheel way off centre with bad hand position because of it. could have wiped some innocent fellow out which would not have been cool. learn from your mistakes.

2 things to suggest for the next wet track day

buy new wipers

if you are unfortiuneate to enough to crash, remove hands from the steerin wheel as this is the best way to break thumbs

but otherwise, if looked good if it was in a better set of hands that

glad the only thing that got injured was the car, they always say you can bend metal back into shape

no one expect to be like lewis hamilton but if im on the track id like to think the guy behind me is concentrating and not busy chatting swinging his head around. im sure if he crashed into you then you would think different
