who saw the subaru nearly smash the corsa at the fast esses? that was so close

 

i didnt but radders told me about it

 

saw the smoke

 

The corsa is back at jam-sport waiting for a mad rebuild

 

it must have been inches!!! the bloke in the subaru nust have been shitting his pants i noticed he didnt come back out after lol

 

that was close, it was funny the way you could hear the spectators all taking a deep breath then letting it go when the scoob missed the corsa

 

thats was because the corsa dumped all of it's oil on the subs slicks

 

yes very close corsa left so much oil on the track

 

broster lost a rod at around 8500rpm

Jamie was driving

 

i noticed the lap before it made a strange noise right at the top of the rev's just before he changed gear?

was a very scary moment i bet

the silence as the subaru was sliding towards it

 

Yup oil was in a nasty position Rob's a top bloke an a very capable driver, nothing you can do in that situation. Glad his car wasnt damaged as a result.

 

saw the aftermath as i came down through craner ... guessed it was a bit close looking at the tyre marks on the track

 

Andy

100% right mate

 

did anyone see the merc come out as nms grey s2
was comming down the track that was close

 

andy i have the corser scooby near miss on vid lol, i will sort out a short clip and post it up very close after watching it on full size screen oh and thank martin

 

Id be interested to see that as we had a bit of a moment and realised it was oil, not nice. It wasnt until speaking to Rob in the pits and mentioning the oil that we heard just how close he'd come. He looked well shaken!

No probs will thank the man

 

get it up mate i saw the incident looked very close

 

Sounds like i missed anther good day out

 

this vid up yet i just mist it as i was getting a beer

 

Thats what i was gona say could have been anyone who went of as the corsa left all its oil on the track

 

I bet you aimed for the oil just to get some on the back wheels

 

i seen it, id just turned my video camera off when the corsa lost it, by the time i got the camera back out and pointed it at the corsa, i just seen a blue flash across the screen, it was the scooby on its way into the gravel trap. it was a close call, there were stewards about, the safety car, and the corsa, the scooby was lucky to miss all of them.

 

marks (brosters) corsa, doh

 

oooops

 

 

it went in style didnt it lawrie

 

Well done that man !

If your going to fuck something up make sure you do it properly

Roll on the Steel rods

 

its what everyone has said so far to broster

9k and standard rods arent a good idea (fair play they have done 11k miles)

 

I had a 152bhp 1.6 8v years ago, it was bloody insane but the money was in the headwork and some ARP's lol

After revving it to 8.5-9k for 6 months it finally decided it had seen plenty of abuse, the look on peoples faces when I had it at 9k going past them was hilarious.

This was what was left off my block :

 

oops, well i do apologise for the oilyness of the track after our little slipage!

 

SO fucking close!!!


Nats cock easily!

 

cannot forsee that mate.

 

Jonny, what was your 8v running, T40 carbs i take it to get that power, got a spec list as that is my net project

 

it was a bit close, i was walking away form the car with jamie and heard a massisve scooby slipping sidways noise comming down craner curves..... turbed tosee said scooby sliding sideway and missing my car by a foot..... i had images of needing a new shell and engine lol!

anyone know if badnes has the video uploaded yet, would be interested to see it.

 

has anyone got a vid of it?

 

theres a vid, but waiting for one of the guys from here to upload it

 

must be more than one vid of it lol

 

Saw that happen. Scary stuff, when it looked like the scoob was gonna hit.

 

yep my mate was driving the subaru , he said it was very close from where he was sitting

 

Andys Evo 8 went through the oil moments before without much issue and so did the escort cossie. Probably because we lifted a bit seeing the car spin off. Rob was trying to catch the evo and came screaming through and spun off.

Glad no-one was hurt. Robs a top top lad
