It was a good hit!!Originally Posted by torquey

We pulled the front wings off of the wheels, ripped the splitter and valence off and I went straight back out.
Tracks straight, brakes in a straight line. Felt fine, Ben seems to have made a strong car, the barrier there is especially soft too, it's got massive foam pads infront of the tyres to protect the bikers when they crash. Radiator took a whack and it's a little bit bent but still holds pressure.
I also hit right on the join of the barrier where the access road is so the barrier was extra thick there!!
I drove the car from where it crashed back to the pits, which I was pretty amazed by!!

Wow that looked a pretty bloody hard impact. I’m impressed how calm you were after the impact!
glad it’s not too badly damaged

I'll be honest mate, no Adrenalin hit as I was going in, no shakes afterwards I was angry as I was going in cos I just thought "you total C**T, you've Fucked your new shell"
it was a good hit.
I can't recommend the HANS device enough, best £800 I've ever spent. That was a pretty hard stop and no neck pain at all today.
Got a bit of crash analysis coming up!!

So, I've reviewed the videos and discovered the following, sorry for images it was the best way I could get the pictures and pause it quickly enough.
Lap before the crash
Still on the gas at 3
Well on the brakes by 2.5
Crash lap
Still on the gas at 2.25
Brake at 2
I can't explain it other than to say that the 2 is my "safe" braking marker in the dry, can't think why!! Perhaps it was the chocolate brownie I ate for lunch........
Adopt the position, cross the arms!!
It was at this point I thought, "have I filed the company VAT return"
Little bit of front airbornedness
So there we have it!! New wings are into paint today, indicators in their way to me, need to sort a new front valence and some driving skills before Snetterton 1/11/19
Words cannot express my feelings when you limped back in and I realised you'd ruined that nice front bumper.
I think I was surprisingly upbeat
But the damage is minimal considering the impact
