This is why I am getting a roll cage

Post by Merlin » Tue May 28, 2013 9:34 am

This isn't the first roll I have seen at Knockhill, but one of the most spectacular due to the vid. I am getting one in my 4G anyway but this reinforces it.

700bhp Nissan GTR R32. 3rd Gen Steve is lucky enough to have been taken out on track in this. The girl driving won the 2010 UK Time Attack in this car. This vid was at Super Lap Scotland (the TA series I am entering in next year).

The reverse track is awesome!! I have only driven it once in the pissing rain when Indigolemon was with me. The corner where that crash happened is difficult as the track falls away from you.

Aww bless her. She sounds really sweet. "Oh my god, my car's buggered!" :lol:

The guys definitely do a good job of being the friendly face you'd need in a situation like that.

Woah! That's the car with all the melted shoes in the passenger side isn't it?
