Yeah it was R4N S S Wing is dented and his RS500 splitter is a bit damaged.
Splitter is fine, the wind has tiny cut at the front, no damage to bonnet or undercarriage, rs500 front bumper has a few rubber marks, as does the grill. The bumper was stone chipped so needed doing as did a few other bits which i wanted sorted anyway previously but would have required a bit of paint so am just gonna pull my finger out a get it sorted.

Car done 5 sessions in total. I did 3 and Ryan did 2 (I think thats him driving in the first pic and obviously me in the tyre wall )

Other than my little off and into the wall and one very minor grass cutting acorss the chicane it was a great day. The engine didnt miss a beat all though my arms are now knackered from wrestling with the gearbox as that was a total bastard everytime you wanted to change gear

The only other problem I had was at on my last session when two thirds of the way thru i snapped two wheel studs on the rear passenger side and by the time it got it back into the pits/paddock the wheel was about to fall off.

I have to say a big thank you to Pete who lent us his tools and his mate Darren who tried to knock the remainder of the studs out - to no avail so i had to call the recovery which i get thru the RSOC as a member and they didnt even have my details on record. eventually they sort it out and the recovery man turns up after 7 we must have been the last car in there it turns out the guy towing us back was the track manager for castle combe and very sound old chap with a fookin hilarous farmer accent

Also, a big up to everyone who helped organised this event and everyone else involved defo gonna be back

I thought that flint grey Sapphire (G707 ???) was doing a good job of pushing him round? Was that BM an auto-SMG box - some of the changes sounded a bit strange ?
