That's a massive crash ... you rarely see anything like that on a track day. Something mechanical must have failed, surely?
I really hope that they are ok, as everyone is reporting.

Another corner and that would be fatal.
Big crash for a track day, do we know who they are yet?

Is this interview anywhere Joe? Leighton made me up a silencer box it's massive....and I registered 99db so just made it. Still working on some things but should all be good for Curborough.. @ Deannn That was our first lap of the session mate.I let him past at the esses earlier as it was my first ever track lap... I did catch it on video.I may upload it later with a couple of others later when photobucket starts playing ball.

If it's the first lap my guess would be either inexperience at Combe (strange track position when the car comes into view) or possibly very old brake fluid which boiled. First time my blue Coupe went out on track the fluid boiled at the end of the first lap, thankfully at an airfield so plenty of run off. Oh, and the car had full Fiat main dealer service history to that point too, but clearly hadn't had a brake fluid change in years. I now change mine yearly, in fact changed the Caterhams today. Relieved to hear they are ok.

Oooft thats a big shunt. Atleast he managed to turn it slighty before hitting the barrier - that would have eased the impact a little.
Glad they are ok.
