hi everyone
yep unfortunately made a mistake and ran too wide onto the dirt on the start finish line and clouted the barriers hard very hard
the good news is the chassis has now been race destruction tested 
had a different engine and airbox in and that was a definate step forward, spent most of qualifying just building up the revs on the newly rebuilt
engine and getting used to the circuit again only been once before in 1998, great little cicuit for spectators though , i decided to try a few
diiferent settings for the race based on quailifying but unfortunately went a bit too radical and made the rear too loose for the corner leading onto
the start finish line where i went through a bit too hot, the back end got sucked onto the tyres on the exit which then pulled the front end in.
it was a big hit
the pleasing thing is how well the chassis held up ( doesnt appear to be bent at all )and the fact i only have a few bruises
from initial inspections
damage is mainly
wishbones
bodywork
two suspension brackets
and two dampers ( ripped in half )
the biggest problem is that with current workloads and my fast approaching wedding im not sure when we will find time to fix the car
going to have a proper look at the car tonight to fully acess the damage
best regards
marc

Ouch!!......... so very glad, apart from bumps and bruises, you are OK Marc!
Lydden is a 'small' circuit, but, even for the experienced, it can catch you out, and is just a tad unforgiving.
I hope the bumps and bruises are mended by the time of your wedding... 
Excellent news that the chassis stood up to the 'test' though!

Glad your OK Marc take it easy ( hows your back ?).
Gald the Chassis and side protection did its job.
Let me know if you need any help.
