Brands 5th Oct....Dax crash
Leaving the pit lane towards the end of the track day today behind a Dax. The guy shoots off and has a slide round Druids on cold tyres before
putting it into the wall on the straight.
Wall 1....Dax 0

Doesn't the track have a slight bump there or something? I seem to vaguely remember them talking about it during a BSB bike race.
BTW, Jeff - did you used to post on Scoobynet? Seeing the name on the YouTube video just triggered off some dim distant memory of a chap on there with
one very quick S4.

Yeap...that was me I had a quick RS4 as well.
The guy is off line with cold tyres and too much throttle....straight to the scene of the accident. They red flagged it and got an ambulance to him
although I don't think he is seriously hurt.
In the first hour an orange Sapphire Cossie lost it's oil starting at Druids and kept going all the way back to the pits..cue an hour wait for
the clean-up. People never listen in the briefing...pull over and we will recover you...do not continue back to the pits. Plonker.

The whole circuit has been relaid in the last year so no bump.

He was off a bit quick right from the start. Looked like quite a train passing just as you came out; Lucky he didn't collect any of them.
Was that Lee Champion coming out in his Phoenix just as you finished the lap?

Cosmick also had a spin in that vicinity. There is a slight crest there which can cause the rear end to go light but as said a bit overenthusiastic
for an out lap.
