The weather was good but a lot of scrappers out on the track but I was expecting that with it being a speed sunday

that WAS one of the fastest RS turbo's in scotland
Just a heads up for the next time though, its pretty dangerous (and totally banned) to let your passenger take photos from inside the car, As the camera turns into a missile if you have an accident. Surprised they didnt mention it during the briefing.

Coming in to the hairpin too quick & the back end locked up
Good job he had a rollcage.

Yes. That's a biggy!
It beggar's belief that KH still continue with the Speed Sunday's in their current guise. It seems there is an accident of this scale almost every time - how long till the luck runs out....? Still, better they have their own days of madness than start to turn-up at Hot Marques etc.

Thats not even close to the hairpin, he must have broke something.... nobody can crash in a straight line.. If you lock up, you can lift and brake again.. wasnt there didnt see it, maybe a badger ran in front of him...

The cone you can see is the first of the set before the hairpin, speaking to Simon the driver, he was braking hard for the corner when the rear locked up ( disks on rear ) & the car slid sideways in to the gravel, hit the tyre wall & rolled as in the photo.

Bummer, front pad brake fade causing rear end lock up?
