Scooby crash at Trax @ silverstone 02/09/12
Spent the day at Silverstone today at Trax, top day out, was watching some track action before going home and then safty cars and amblance etc came out onto track and the sesion was stoped, then 5 mins later this pops around the corner........
Did not see the accident, but the car looked like it was a hard impact as the front end was twisted and both air bag had gorn off. Hope the driver was ok.
Also parked up was a M3

Saw the BMW go round Woodcote and said to my wife that I wouldn't be surprised if he crashed it with the way he was driving (damp track, pushing too hard) - he nearly lost it at Woodcote TBH.
There's no need to push it hard enough to crash it on a pay and play session as per Trax yesterday, especially when the conditions aren't 100% - just asking for trouble. Ambition > Ability, me thinks.
Oh, and for the record, stock suspension and brakes are fine on track - they certainly don't guarantee a crash... so long as you drive within the limits of them!

I didn't see the accident, but what I did see was the BMW driver thinking he could drift when he really couldn't.
Hopefully the two incidents were separate and it wasn't caused by on or other doing something stupid such as the BMW losing control and the Subaru driver having to take avoiding action / hitting the back of the BMW because of it.
Did anyone on here see the accident?

they were a couple of hours apart, but the track was damp when the beemer crashed.
i saw it being trailered off but not the crash.

We saw the BMW getting very untidy round Woodcote a couple of times.
In any case, if you're going to push that hard on that kind of track session (i.e. where there are likely to be a fair few 7 second heros, plus in front of a crowd ), you really are asking for trouble!

There was another guy in a new black M3 doing the same thing, driving like an idiot n nearly causing others to crash.. These ppl should be banned from driving on the track!
