Bloke standing chatting to the marshall had a very lucky escape from the BMW breadvan.

Well, how are 'you' supposed to find 'the limit' if you don't exceed it once in a while ?

I was passenger in there that day

and can say that I was so surprised to find the car just lightly damaged as it felt quite worse inside the car.

I cannot believe all these accidents were on one day? I have organised & help organise many track days where there have been no damage whatsoever. In fact an accident like this is a rarity. Was this a track day for 'drivers without ability' because it would appear most of them 'ran out of talent mid corner'

It was one of the "Action Days", which are closer to Saturday night in the local supermarket car park than a track day.

It's generally a free for all for the 'high performance car with low performance driver' brigade...

... or; in my case; low performance car with low performance driver

Hi Dolly racer
I believe we met at Mallory 3 years ago............I took your advice on tyre pressures, you were right

I think you will find that it is a compilation of many different days.
I have to say though that in Chris's defence that he was on opposite lock very quickly and these things do happen to ALL of us at sometime.
Also it is true that on most track days at least one car is badly damaged so the percentage is prob something like 1 in 300 chance of an accident!
