Default Charlie shaws focus In time attack

just read and seen pics that he's had a blowout at 140+mph
Not sure how to upload pics but he needs a new back quarter.

It looks in the video that he managed to come to stop without any injuries

Not sure Glenn, I didn't go to croft this year I was on my honeymoon.
Looks quite nasty this I don't think it will be a quick fix.

I'm sure it will be back fixed very soon.

Bar none the greatest modified Ford in my eyes. I saw a pic of it pulling 1000bhp on the RR the other day.

Was there yesterday, but because we were in the paddock it happened behind us and didn't see who it was. 3 red flags in the final.

Luckily it happened on the straight away from any other car and the gravel did its job.
