Hello everyone

Who went to castle coombe then?? I think I saw Wolfy, but didn't say hi as you would have thought, what a weirdo
I saw all the TMF lot on the stand, some very nice Minis on there

I LOVED IT!

i have some footage of the bini doing a 360 infront of the pit lane and slamming into the barriers by the club stands,also the car that dumped a load of oil onto the track which caused the crash,10 out of 10 for the castle coombe marshals for stoping the session as soon as the oil was dumped on track.........NOT!
myself and mini cb got there at 8 on the dot,had a go at parking on the soggy,bumpy grass strip that was the club stand,after 10 minutes grounding my car gave up and parked on the hard standing by the traders,a big thankyou to purple tom for organizing the tickets,tmf stand and track passes ( at heavily discounted price ) thanks mate.

Well I was ment to be on the North Somerset Mini Club Stand, and I wasn't allowed in there? I wasn't give a pass or anything to get in?? :S

Nope, they got an array of support vehicles - ambulance, tow truck, safety cars etc. then cleaned the mess up and restarted. I didn't know about the oil, I'd assumed it was lift off oversteer but thought it was a strange place to lose control.

[the.stroker]

the car that spilt the oil had a massive failure on the r/h wheel area.oil everywhere along with clouds of smoke,it did another full lap like that before it was black flagged.the bini hit the oil and lost it into the barriers,another bini following also lost it and nearly slamed into the wreckage but somehow manages to hold onto it
