Providing the wishbone mounts are intact, it should live. It also looks like you've avoided damage to the crash structure and radiators, which should keep the cost down to a replacement clam, respray and lights.

No it not fun
but it happens and a risk all trackers take everytime
Not sure what's your talking by taking by the p*ss
Anyway little update I have brake/clutch fluid coming out of the drivers sill
Guessing it's from clutch
As that's what's failed to work

most likely the bonnet has nudged the clutch pipework at the master cylinder
lets hope it is not too bad a fix

Looking for a RR chassis I think
This one probably going to be retired
Or maybe even retire myself lol
Unless the resovoir dropped below the clutch intake

Chris, the car can be repaired! It's a risk we all take when on track. Your next reincarnation of the VX will be even better! I presume you had a trailer?

@ max year had trailer
It's a hard one and have always said when it happens it's time to move on
It's had loads of time and I still have plenty of fancy bits on it, how ever if it goes I won't be coming back
So just going to start taking the damaged bits off and then take it from there,
I'm in no rush but will see,
Slightly annoyed about what looks like is going to be a brake or clutches line issue which could of been the start of the issue,
Must say big thanks to all the people showing support today's and there help if it's required,
