Light cosmetic damage to Mikes, hopefully nothing more.

He did bend his extension though

And APT have nothing to do with it, it was just a phrase I used to refer to Mikes other ramming activities

Oh dear, I know who you mean, Black Mk2 Cossie powered, can't think of his user name though, begins with S I think. Hope the damage isn't too serious. As for Mikes driving, you can take the piss out of mike all ya like, and I do, but a passenger lap with him in the Escos (especially round the Ring) is really quite something!

cannot blame the brakes Dave,more likely to have been driver error or being to close to each other.

I cant see Mike's brakes letting him down tbh, i went out in his car on track for a good few laps & the brakes are awesome!
I reckon the damage could have been alot worse if his brakes werent as good as they are.

But back on topic - Mike the ram raider

The situation was misunderstood and Mike's front towing pulley came in contact with the Mk2 causing a little damage to the bottom of the rear quarter.

Nothing to do with brakes, just goes to show that even some of the more veteran track drivers can have a slight error of judgement on the corners.

Both guys involved are very experienced on track, and I think it was a case of 6 of 1, and half a douzen of the other with regards to blame. Mikes car came off better than Martins, but as they both know, its the risk you take when you do a track day.

Doesn't really help with 'Trendy' Mikes existing arse bandit reputation tho

From what Mike said, it was very much a 50:50 thing. I'm sure he'll explain if he wants to.

And from what i overheard he even offered to pay for the damage, what a gent if true because on track you got no legal responsibility for the other part if involved in a accident
