Was up at Oulton Park today setting up for carfest,

the main bridge over the track is out of action on a permanent basis after
a lorry driver decided it would be a great idea to race his truck round the track even after being told not to,

He had chase cars and marshalls trying to stop him.

Any how, he smashed into the bridge with his HIAB and moved the bridge.
its been condemned.
The cost to replace has been estimated at £500k.

His company insurance wont cover it as he was on a race track testing the speed of the truck, lol

He was sacked instantly by his company.

Oulton park are having a temporary bridge built over the track tonight just so CarFest can happen.

What a doughnut! Talk about giving truck drivers a bad name.

What story you heard?
The version I heard was from the traffic marshalls.

GVK.

Apparently it's been on the radio on Chris Evans show too.

Mark_

Really? The organisers are really pissed about it.

Chris Evens told a completely different story this morning and explained that it was one of the temporary bridges that had been hit...?

Sins radio1 has a target ordinance age of 24 I've jumped on the chris evens show also and it's not a bad listen in the morning. Loves to go on about cars and f1.

They was building a temporary bridge over the damaged one last night,
As far as I know the bridge that was hit was a permanent bridge, I have been over it many times before.

Shings

Not doubting it Mark - just saying what Evans said.

For the record I only switch evens on when I really cannot tolerate Grimmy any more...

Mark_

Im the same Shings, Since moyels has gone I can't stand radio 1.

Grimmy is terrible. They are 1million down on listeners from last year.
