Actually, judging by the cornering shots, I'm not sure it's T-cut he needs.

Goes to prove that you driving ability doesn't increase with your wallet size

Very unfortunate but easy to get carried away i suppose.

I wouldn't be happy if was pictures of my crashed car on the web. The owner may not have track insurance if you know what I mean

a few pics will be the least of his worries, that race series is often broadcast on tv he might even have had a camera on board. he was doing really well until that happened, he won the first race.

thanks kiltie i got it now.

sorry about the quality i was using a sony cybershot that i only bought the other day.

plus things got a bit hectic, think i was in the right place at the wrong time.

The guy in the Lambo was trying like a bear. Seconds before he shot off the track he'd actually went down Dufus behind the white Evo and overtook it at the right 90 degree bend on the OUTSIDE!

Pretty much everyone was still giving him a nod of appreciation for the good effort and then the above happened which Haggis skillfully caught.

I was standing next to Haggis and trust me it felt close :O

He's lucky it never rolled over and to be honest it hit the tyre wall side on which was probably a blessing in disguise.

I'm sure we will see him back. It's good to see someone driving a car like that to the limit and beyond instead of hiding it away.

No one listens to me when I say about these fast cars in our race! Too much money not enough talent!

That tyre wall must have a magnet or something that attracts big powerful Italian racing cars, it happened to CR Scuderia in the BGTs too!

If he was driving like a monkey he deserves to go into the gravel trap.

[haggishunter]

i would say he had a good bit of talent as he won the first race. every driver has accidents, most wont be as expensive however.

Yes, I agree but most people don't buy big powerful cars to race at KH with cars worth a tenth of the price, where is the merit in that?

I've seen big powerful cars come and go but why doesn't he race it down south? IMO, I won the race because it has a large engine in it and goes quickly down the straight like some other cars do. What has happened to racecraft in Scotland.

That car was ontrack during the speed sunday last month - amongst all sorts of cheap track fodder. He was driving v hard then too.

Thought he was gonna be scraping nova off the front of his mota several times !

Its no quicker up the straights than the caterhams, and is obviously a lot heavier through the bends.
Everything races together and is split into classes.
He hasnt had the car long and is classed as a rookie (black cross on the back).
The race craft in scotland is of the highest quality.
There are cars as diverse as 911 race cars, evos, westfields, caterhams and custom built focuses in this series. Watch out for it on motors tv mate its quality viewing.

[Jockstar205]

You'd think it would be unfair for the Lambo to be racing against the type of opposition it had. But trust me the Cossie Caterhams were well ahead of the Lambo before it crashed.

Knockhill isn't all about power hence the Caterhams were staying ahead comfortably.

You may say "why a lambo?". The owner would reply "why not?".
