Looks like someone was having fun. and Ԛ£75's worth of fuel, jesus man you must have been out there all day! I only managed about Ԛ£50 in a 325 turbo at a trackday recently.

How did you get into that position, were you coming down the hill? Perhaps it started sliding, and it tank slapped you?? Good effort fella, certainly looks well beached :)

Looks like fun!

I did a very wet all dayer at Donny in December....Ended up just a bit further back than you on exactly the same corner, but luckily not in the gravel, this was after going a bit too quickly down the Craners to get past an Evo8!

Great track, wanna do it in the dry!
