Its not that bad stripped it all down yesterday.

Radiator, Wishbone, Droplinks, Headlight, Door, Bumper, Wing.

Well the people there were saying they had a clio come off a few weeks back did less damage to the armco but the car was a write off. where as mine did lots of damage to the armco and little damage to the car!

Ouch, As Willbert said doesn't seem that bad but a pretty hard impact, looks a tad wet out there

Any track day insurance?

Was very wet! need to invest in a set of wet tyres and wheels as going round on semi slicks wasn't the greatest idea!

No insurance has to come out my pocket looking at about 1k to get back on the road and together again should be by the weekend

At least you (and possibly your passenger) are okay that's the main thing. It's only a bit of metal that's been damaged. Do you have to pay for repairs to the Armco?

Yea its only metal and its what you have to expect going on the track. I think of it as dont do it unless you can afford to fix it if you break it etc.

Was more worried about the GF that was the passenger at the time than the car!! She has a bit of whip lash but nothing to bad. So glad we had harnesses though!

Wet grass strikes again! I had a near miss at Rockingham on wet grass.

What went wrong to end up on the grass in the first place?

When you first go off, looked like you were going to miss the tyres, then sods law takes hold and you hit it

It looks like the only obstacle you could have hit! Unlucky!

Does seem a small amount of damage considering how hard you hit it
