Hi Graham
It was a really busy day 43 cars. In the morning there where lots of red flags, young lads dumping oil or loosing it on bends with cold tyers, however it got going and in the afternoon,
I was happily flying round and I was clearly quicker than this FTO in front of me, the rules say watch your mirrors for quicker cars and indicate left and slow down to let them pass NO overtaking on corners and without consent! he reluctantly gave way after two laps and then he got a bit hot headed the pr#@" was then trying to race me I was pulling away until I got behind another slower car which then allowed the FTO to catch up, the car in front then pulled over for me to pass the FTO was up my backside trying to prove a point. This was on a short straight coming up to a left hand-er adverse camber, I braked he was too close skided and hit my NSR wing and wheel and took us both off the track I couldn't believe what had happened he then reversed back to me and said "sorry mate my brakes failed" B@##."-$ I said amongst other things he was Black flagged and band for the rest of the day for dangerous driving.
The damage wasn't as bad as I'd feared the wheel was scuffed but the wing was hanging off just held on by the two front bolts the fiberglass has been damaged and will need repairing and spraying and my indicator has packed up.
I went back on track and things seemed to be OK with the way the car was driving for a while until as I came round the last right hand-er I got a banging knocking noise which can only be described like the prop shaft hitting the tunnel and the NSR wheel area has a knocking I've yet to get it up on a ramp and have a look.
Just Pisses me off when you have idiots who want to RACE you and obviously not being able to control themselves or their cars.
not a happy bunny mate.
