Yeah it could have been better. Bad marshalling meant a guy drifting during the track time didnt get blacked flagged early enough to spin infront of me and consequently hit my car. Im really lucky its only the door thats damaged, but not what you need on a car youve only had 2 weeks. Ive no doubt I would have been fine had the track time been better organised. Such a shame as the circuit itself is brilliant. Love driving it and always seem to pass much better cars out there. Suppose it could have been worse. Lucky the sill isnt damaged or the rear quarter. Just need a new door now

Nothing, he was such a badger about it. Just said he couldnt control it cos its RWD and its my fault cos I should know the dangers. We all had a go but him and the guys dad werent interested. Not alot I can do unfortunately. See here, http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=419311 these guys also saw the guy being an idiot on track.

Sorry didnt realise you had to log into clio sport, basically...
'That senator was driving like an idiot all day, blocking overtakes and cutting people up mid overtake, drifting when people were alongside too!'
'Butler,was it you first in on one of the slots? if so the car looked good out there,i did see that senator drifting on the top corner! not good! sorry to hear you got hit is it getting sorted? '
'Sorry to hear about the damage butler, unfortunatly something like that was bound to happen with the way some of them were driving.'
Tempted to stick to dedicated track days in the future.

Nope, I dont feel theres much else I can do to get money out of him. How much was the door skin? Robs going to try and get me it cheaper through the bodyshop at his work.

Might be worth waiting for a door in the right colour to turn up on ebay or a breakers instead of a new one needing sprayed

I said to Rach as soon as I saw him out there that he didn't have a clue what he was doing. He wasn't on the right lines, infact he might as well just gone down Basildon for the evening if he wanted to drive like that.
