Audi TT Big Crash at Quarry Corner
Discussion
We hosted a Trackday om Thrusday and I witnessed this Audi TT Hit the tyre wall hard at Quarry corner, Castle Combe. After stopping next to the crash we managed to finally rip the passenger door open to get both occupants out un hurt thanks to a sturdy roll cage and supporting safety devices.

That`s looked nasty
Tricky one. Should you have stopped to help, putting yourself in harms way or let the Marshalls do their job ?. I get why you wanted to help, that`s hopefully the first thought of most people but I`m not so sure stopping was the right thing to do.
Were you the TDO for the day ?

That would be a great video to show during the drivers meeting prior to every track day.
This is why Quarry has such a reputation, even now that the approaching section of track has been resurfaced and offers lots more grip than it previously did you still can't go hammering it in like that!!!
Hope the occupants of the TT are OK, I expect plenty of bits can still be salvaged from the car to build another one.
PS, love the Anchor Man overdub!!!

Quarry is a tricky corner, or at least Avon rise complicates Quarry.
There's a corner that gets me twitching at Oulton - just after you come round Knickerbrook I think, you're throttle down to get up the small bank (Clay Hill), then there's a very mild dogleg left just as the car is very light. You know it's there, so you don't push too hard, but I've still had one or two moments when I've thought, 'Not going to make that!'. Then it's hard on the clamps for Druids.Gassing Station | Track Days | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
