That is extreamly poor track driving as far as safe its not suppose to be a race!
Im sure your only suppose to overtake on the left and not through courners unless signled by the car infront...
I am assuming it was a track day, but if i was in the 106 i would be going crazy if it was a track day and he has broken the rules!

Ahh ignore me it was in the Castle Combe Champs...
Simons comments:
Thanks for all the kind comments from everyone, feeling Ok if a little sore today!
Everyone has their own opinions on a situation based on experience and vision of the incident, whether it be from inside the car or on video afterwards.
Some facts for you though;
1) I think the accident was my fault, but at the time could not be avoided.
2) The first thing I did was ask the other girl how she was, apologised and shook her hand in the medics room.
3) I was not driving beyond my talent or ability. This was a bad racing incident for which I feel responsible.
4) Gary stopped me from overtaking him at the Esses one lap earlier when we touched side by side, I had the inside line and he had to take the grass. At this time I had gained a position by
virtue of me being in front into the corner on the inside. On the following lap I tried to out brake him on the outside instead and locked up meant me having to take to the grass. I ended up in front and did not know that I should yield this gained place, I held my hand up to appologise but did not know what was the correct etiquette. I have spoken with Gary about this and appologised.
5) I already stated to one of Chirssy's friends that if Castle Combe declare the accident my fault I would pay her £1000 towards her repair bill.
6) Something needs to be done about the differing speeds in this championship, no one has more of a right to be in it than another but the speed differential is dangerous.
Finally I will be back with another car next year and intend to silence all the people who say I can't drive and do my talking on the race track.
Cheers all and sorry to Chrissy!

Well, if a job's worth doing it's worth doing properly! Jesus, what a wreck, glad everyone's ok though.

What the hell was that 106 doing on the tack anyway. Stupid putting a car thats 2x more powerfull in the same race.
I watched the vid and the other 2 evo's went for it and got though fine. It was just a mistake as i see it from the vid and the evo at the front nearly looses it too

Maybe he was trying to make it look like a 206?
Joking aside, Crickey! What a smash!
Glad there were no fatalities.
