Well after a strange day I now find that I have a GTR in need of a rear clam section after a rather intimate encounter with a tyre barrier at Oulton Park courtesy of a Japanese tinbox letting go in front of the Ultima(wouldnt mind but I was cooking a cheeseburger in the pit garage at the time --didnt get to eat it either)
If anyone has a spare one (small chance I know).... please let me know.

Yes & the funny thing is it was the guy who passed me for my race licence biglaugh
Nothing he could do , and as we know that can happen so if it can happen to him it certainly could happen to the rest of us.
Looks like (by good luck) that Matts is just what I want. Must admit with my luck I did think about getting the front as well!

Don't know too much about these things, but it's one of my thoughts during track days, is that if you are ever 'hastling' anyone, do so with the mindset that if they go, you'll be able to miss 'em.

I've had a few fall off in front now, and my escape route (and deceleration) is always right up there, just above the way passed.

Probably why I'll never go racin'. Just too considerate!!

Oultons not that forgiving -not a lot of runoffs unlike Donnington , but I still say when you have Mondeos & Volvo estates on the track at the same time theres going to be some congestion somewhere rolleyes
