I just think its childish to take pleasure from others' bad luck or judgement.

If however the OP is regularly on track and is a good driver or posts his own crash up to start the thread then it's a different matter.

otherwise, ****.

maybe you get my point, maybe not.
No I don't get your point at all.
I'm not taking any pleasure from other peoples mistakes, bad luck or judgement at all and I doubt anyone who watched these videos is. I watch videos like these to learn from others mistakes if I can....I do have videos of my own but they are exactly that, VHS videos, and so I am unable to put them on the net for people to watch/enjoy or learn from at the moment.
I really don't get why people like you bother to post on peoples threads if you don't like them?? It's ok to have an opinion....but when you start calling people who you don't know "childish" and then add calling them a "****" to the proceedings it's only you that end's up looking childish and like a right ****.

And as you will see i run out of talent at the end once or twice!

Really puts me off going to a track day. Would be so gutted if i wrote my car off even more so if someone else crashed in to me.

some awesome saves on there even if you did lose it once or twice towards the end but to be fair it was only on the almost "single lane" type track!. Some of those courses looked very challenging....more so because of all those darned little cones to follow
More the merrier I say even if it's not Combe....and BTW you'd love Castle Combe.

Tony,
Glad to hear it all worked out ok for you in end...especially the insurance thing. So far, touch wood, no crashes on any circuit's yet but a few on the road's when I was younger so I'm hoping that's the way it stay's
