was the racing totally canned after that?

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.


Nope, not oil. I blame my wife.
She said "It's amazing that there aren't more accidents."
Within thirty seconds, the Bini is spinning right in front of us...

(I'd actually assumed it was either lifting off at the wrong moment or touching the brake with a size 10 boot...)

Here are my pictures of the spin. They're not great, but hey.

Found out earlier, he didn't have track day insurance, no doubt that will be placed in a hedge and they will claim of the insurance that way.
