        The evo was me. Coming through wipperman an Italian white E92 M3 lost it and clouted my rear quarter sending me into a spin. Dragged the car along the armco for a bit before coming to a stop. The driver of the M3 didn't stop at the scene, didn't stop anywhere including the car park - he literally just fled the scene and the entire day. Marvellous eh.

        The track was closed due to the fcukwit in the Caparo constantly ignoring flags and coming past my wreck at warp speed. My brother went over and laid into them something rotten by all accounts in the carpark. Teffers kicked them off the trackday shortly after for continuing to be nobheads. Great advert for the Brits, cheers lads.

        Shame about the weather on Monday, we were there from Friday lunchtime onwards, was sunny all weekend.

        If it had been dry i would have likely done more laps. The track was only closed twice, once whilst a car was on fire and another time after an Evo had a big shunt and was sitting in the middle of the track. Apparently some cars weren't slowing properly, so they decided to close the track but are already saying this will be looked at more closely next time.

        The Monday was by far the more enjoyable day other than the rain.

            Sorry to hear about the evo, especially after you just got it sorted.

                Titan, thought it might have been yours from your handle. Been following the thread on the Northloop site. Sorry to hear what happened, at least all are ok.

                There were a few people ignoring flags which isn't on, but it seems the guys have realised and will sort it out for the next time.

                    However a yellow flag doesn't stop someone coming past, damaged car or no damaged car. And if you are standing still a car doing 100 instead of 120 is still gonna seem bloody fast.

                    Assuming it was Bennett driving he ain't gonna slow down to 30mph for a yellow

                      I would humbly suggest not getting involved in a discussion without being there or having the facts.

                      Overtaking on yellows and reds - not allowed, no matter who you are or what you are driving. Everyone else obeyed this. The fact they were asked to leave the trackday by the organisers speaks for itself.

                          Maybe. Shhh that discussion is not for public consumption just yet. Suffice to say I've had my worst ring trip ever.

                            I am afraid that I allow myself to get involved in any discussion I want, but thanks for the advice.

                            I see you blame the Caparo for closing the track and not the fact that there was a pile up which is interesting and suffice to say I don't think the Caparo either caused or was involved in a crash so maybe your anger needs to be channelled elsewhere.

                              The organisers have said openly that the reason they closed the track was because some cars (the Caparo being one) weren't slowing for the flags, despite the car being across half the track for at least two of my (slow) laps.

                              There wasn't any need to shut the track, as there was still space to pass slowly, but some cars were apparently still overtaking under flags despite it being made very clear at the drivers briefing that there was to be no overtaking at all under flags.

                              Here's some nice pictures to look at of me being probably rather offline. All credited to Jochim.
