ahh well one of those things of racing, least she is ok and its not a major repair.
One thing i would suggest though from being in a similar situation is to try rember to take her hands off the wheel before she hits the barrier if in that situation again.
Also is it mainly evo`s that are the time attack series?

Doesn't actually look too harsh in the video's, I know it looked fast but I expected the impact to be a bit harder - I guess it probably was from the driving seat anyway!
Is it only bodywork damage at the rear there Adam? I know you said about the intercooler and oil cooler etc, but is all the rear ok, suspension wise?
Oh, just found these in another thread too, from what you said I guess they were Fee's doing

Not in the thread I was looking at, no.
It's 'modified live pics' or something similar, a few down in general chat atm.
Edit: This one.

Shame it let go on her. Bless her she looked upset (rightly so).
Pin it down to wet weather (come on you two, you are wet oop north all the time anyway ) and practice. A crash was gonna happen at some point, alls fixable, Fee is ok, bit of a dent to the wallet..
Get her back out there asap, regain any lost confidence, and bounce back stronger

Suppose with it being wrapped the repair won't need to be perfect?

??? you can still see the lines of the car!
Its not a permanant fix. We're taking both the Skyline and Impreza on track on Fri so just need a solution thats not crumpled and folded like it was.
Will prob need a new rear OS light cluster if i cant fix it. Managed to reshape the rear bumper with some heat but it still has big gouges in it.
