Mozzy if you like sideways action it's THE place to be to see it.
Specially if Mikko Hirvonen is there, that man can pedal that Focus.

Loads of stuff, loads of old school Audi 6R4's etc etc.

Well worth the drive adn the money.

Go on Dave, you know you want to come. Sure Martin will let you park near his stand if you want YUM to be safe and sound

Anyone who drives on track is fully aware of the dangers, if there is an off due to own fault makes it entertainment for the spectators.

I do feel sorry for anyone who is the innocent party in incidents though.

Sad though it is to say, the most memorable bits when you go to watch a rally are the crashes, so its only natural that its going to be with rally cars on track as well.

Not sure "funny" is the right word for what I think of it when someone crashes (well unless they are just a total muppet), but its certainly entertaining.

tbh most of the lairy driving happens on the main straight/bend when they're doing the slalom, so not much damage ever really gets caused.

though it always pains me when someone off's on a track day, as I know how much money goes into these cars......and you guys who do it are to be admired.
The likes of Martin ( seen the MG break twice at Combe ) Si B. Thankfully keeps that Evo on the track, and of course AG, breaking the Focus at FF, only to have it back up and running already.

Credit to you all, that's why us guys who can't afford to do it pay our monies to come watch you do it better. !!

why not? You wrote: 'great to see the carnage'

I can't personally see what's great about seeing anyone damaging their car whether its though bad driving or otherwise.

Maybe I'm totally misunderstanding what you mean by 'carnage'?

Lol funny thing is whenever there's some 'hero' overdoing it and comes off at quarry or whatever everyone wants a look or to see it happen......human nature so just get over it!! We all know what you mean wiggy.....i don't like seeing someone's pride and joy wrecked but the way some people drive it's like they want it to happen!
