For anyone interested I'll be opening a test room at Spa on Wednesday some time in the evening. I'll be mainly testing my Clio at first but am curious to see how the Toca FFs are around here :).
 
Much damage?
Loads. In order of how it happened: Puncture, buckled rim, wing, front bumper, aaaand then the big hit in the rear which crumpled the car to an extent that the rear wheels were fully locked up against the shell.. (As well as obviously bumper, boot, rear light, another puncture, etc etc) - so probably a re-shell..

Yeah me driving.

Ohai. I was at Brands Hatch today. Here's how it went:



Such a noob coward driver :P

But seriously, do the rest of the drivers in that series have any idea what they're doing? With the amount spinning off (and crashing into you) it doesn't seem like it.

Was it wet/damp ?

Looks like you got a tap in the rear or side .

That guy in the front with the white car , he was lucky not to cause a bigger wreck

No not really. The guy that hit me must not have slowed down at all for example. Lots of jump starts. (The guy who comes past on my right was 2 rows back for example) - Not really sure what the White car was doing either, he's better than that.

I got tapped 3 times in the right rear which punctured the tyre and buckled the rim. Not sure what I was meant to do other than get fired off. I wouldn't recommend the championship :lol:
 
Damn Mole I read on your twitter you got hit off but didn't think it was that bad!

Are you still looking into Clios or is it out of reach budget wise?

Think asking him about budget when his current car is mangled might not be wise :lol:

Nah too much budget needed, and it's even more bumper cars than Fiestas, would be a stupid move. One of our drivers is going to do Clios but can't see it ending well.

My Oulton BTCC guide says Clios for a full season is £80,000, that right or is true figure much higher you reckon?

About right yes. But you'd need to buy the car first (£35k-ish), and then it's + damage which I'm sure would go into tens of thousands for the year.

You considered single seaters? :P Less bumping at least.

Yeah said 34,000 for the car.

@Spurgy 777 current Formula Ford was listed at around 38,000.

Current Formula Fords are 100k+ series, you wouldn't do that, especially considering half the people can't drive in the series :lol: The old style Formula Fords however are 45-50k for a season which is a little bit more affordable.

The old Mygale / Van Diemen / Zetec / Ray chassis cars?

Naw not really, doesn't interest me tbh. Only doing Fiestas because it's (was, before damage) super cheap to learn in. Ideally want to get into endurance stuff in due course. We run at the front on £20k + damage which I'd say you can't really beat unless you go for a really budget championship on road tyres etc.
