Those photos aren't nice to see after he has put so much work into it. It's a shame it was such an expensive mistake. Live and learn.

The 2 second claim was based on running a 1.52 at Donnington international circuit which was apparently a new lap record for club rwd, which stood at 1.54.

rr Chris what has Donimgton got to do with it? I like you but you are over opinionated for a guy that has signed on for very few trackdays! Simulator man.

Harsh!

I cant explain it and you have different opinions as a racer but I like what he was trying to achieve. The exhaust (if it was at fault was a little elaborate/dangerous but hey I'm sure he's learnt a lesson.

I can't imagine loosing my car uninsured that way and a load of told you so's isn't going to help. Mark you made your point now drop it!

Its not harsh at all. You need to read the SELOC thread. Its not just about told you so, he's an unpleasant character as confirmed by people unconnected and from different forums. I'll drop it when I'm ready

Those pics are pretty horrific. I guess that is what is left when you add heat to fuel and plastic.

 

I see the SELOC thread has been closed, leaving just enough time to the mental health professionals that hang round every thread like this to confirm he has massive mental issues. Imagine how much better mental health care would be if these people would offer up their services to the NHS.
