I was lucky. last thing I know is looking at the sea below and thinking, "ok, today is the day you'll have your first crash." Lucky the car hit the rocks and some how rolled on the side.

Not bad for your first crash ....

Just step out through the front windscreen calmly like a boss, like you meant to do it

Dunno about you but I would have been shitting it seeing that drop into the sea, I would be wiring in some sort of James bond ejector seat if I was going round that track

You should have floored it! Then you would end up with a 360ş and right were you wanted it to go!

Better luck next time mate!

As "andy escos" said, it's an Escort MK1 with a 1300cc engine

Here is a photo of the damage



And here's a video of a normal run

You're on here posting and joking about it so that's what's important.
Hope you get it on the go again without much fuss pal.

There is no better way to get over it, then laugh it off. At the time when I got out of the car all I could think of was "I fucked up the car, what have I done... bla bla bla" But with a clear mind I realise that the most important thing is that I'm 100% ok. Not even scared to race again

Next race is in around 2 weeks time. I'll start working on fixing the car. Will post pics in here on any progress done.
