Wow, anything hadland can do these evo lads can do better, he has a tyre blow so they have to roll their car.

I bet if he stepped in shit they would fall in it


Seriously though, nasty accident that, looks like the cage did its job though.

It looks like a racing accident.
From what i have seen he made contact whit red peugot and rolled his evo.
At least simon norris walked away.
The evo can be replaced.

Yeah! Driver error mate!

He was blatently trying to keep with the other 2 Evo's in front, tried to overtake the poor guy in the 106 on the inside, carried too much speed, clipped the 106 and the rest is obvious...

Feel sorry for the guy in the 106 tbh seeing that vid!

I agree he had no choice but to overtake him, what he should of done was backed off slightly to overtake him safely, I too feel a bit sorry for the poor bloke in the peugeot especially if its his daily driver or summat!
Should have slowed down abit then Dave?

A racing incident at a trackday?

possibility Dan,but its not the best thing to do mid corner.

Simon was going after the other two cars,as you do on track and the car seems to be drifting over into the other car.

Yeah as said mate, we all make mistakes and accidents do happen hence why they are called accidents

Glad Simon and the other guy were ok really, cars can be replaced!

quite obvious all cars slide on the mud even the first one seems to be slidding across the track, then the second just misses the 106 then the last almost drivers over the bonnet. poor bloke in the 106 tho.
