I not too bad to be honest, just glad it wasn't the Noble. Nearly tool that on track on Monday! It's what I bought the vx for.
I'm not sure, going to look at the other side when I can.

Very sad 
. The bolt is a M10 8.8 grade 90mm length. Time to upgrade to 10.9 perhaps?

Vauxhall and replace every two years on the road, or annually for cars on track days.

sh*t luck Mark. Knowing you, you'll have it back hooning around a track pretty quickly.

Ar$e. Pleased your OK.
When was the last time you checked the torque? Mine seem to get looser with use. I'm going to make a habit of just re-torquing before each track day.

Bloody hell! It went straight off. Does this happen a lot to people on the road very often?

Mainly seems to affect cars that are tracked due to the stresses.

That was on brand new 888s so I had upped the grippyness today. I'll be checking them every trackday now and probably buy a box of the bolt and change them regularly.

I assume having grippy tyres makes this problem worse/more common?

Yes it puts extra stress on everything. I assume mine had worked very slightly loose then that was enough to put side stress on the bolt which it can't take. I think the bolt is missing though.

It'll amplify the issue, but if they are gonna go due to incorrect torque or compromised joint then they will go regardless

Your status says it all Zoo! Glad your fine & the VX ain't in a total bad way!Yes it puts extra stress on everything. I assume mine had worked very slightly loose then that was enough to put side stress on the bolt which it can't take. I think the bolt is missing though.

It's a bit of a worry because surely on the road if your giving it some beans its possible. Lucky you are ok, I have seen a couple of these videos and they didn't get thrown off so quickly.

It can go either way. as i said before mine snapped as I hit another car with my rear wheel in a corner. I exited the corner and whereas the car didnt feel right it went in a straight line to the next corner however when I went to turn left into the corner the car went straight on (sort of)!! Lots of run off though so I parked up and watched the rest of the race with the marshals.
