Glanza wasnt there Butler, as it was a wo hour drive we decided to come down in 2 cars instead of seven so i left her at home for the day.
Overal i felt the show element was poor but the track was a good watch although i did feel marshalling was poor in places and saw lots of things on track such as undertaking that as an amateuer looked very dangerous

There is a thread on Northloop with everyone complaining about the standard of driving and the fact that the briefing was an A4 sheet of paper and no formal briefing given.
That Senator did have AutoBahnStormers up the side, check out the website.

 That's terrible Mister B.
You should have cock dropped him next to your car and then Vinnie Jones'd him with what was left of your door.

they obvisouly didnt take any notice of him being a knob on track so didnt bother saying anything, thats the trouble with events like that, rallycross, it really wouldnt have mattered, but public 'track time' should have been better organised..... but thats the risk you take going on it unfortunately

Im still really annoyed. I was overtaking everything on the session, I just got ahead of the 106 and caned it up behind the senator, then he started drifting. He should have just me straight passed, same for the 106. Apparently he was drifting dangerously infront of the 106 for ages.

Well clerk of the course said they were going to black flag him, they should have fucking black flagged him after he drifted for one lap at most. It just shouldnt be tolerated during public track time unless its a dedicated drift session like they do at combe. Also, only just realised they didnt even ask to see my driving license or anything today.

I turned up, and the first session I saw and that goon was out. Both me and Rach said he was driving out of control. He had spun out twice in one session prior to hitting you.

Saying that though, i never proved i had a drivers license at donnington. I said do you want to see my license or anything and she said no 
A friend came in the drivers briefing with me just for a noesy and managed to get a drivers arm bad without any questions, just stuck his hand up in the air when they said who is driving then?
I didnt let him drive, but i was stunned!

Do you think its worth me making a formal complaint about the organisation? Not sure what good can come of it, but id like them to be aware of my situation and how the organisation has effected me and in turn influenced alot of peoples opinions on the show.

The organisation was a disgrace, are they likely to listen? Nope. They have made their money, you crashed your car on track and they will tell you it's your responsibilty.
Only thing I would do is find that twat who crashed into you.

Gutted for you mate, I wasn't looking when that happened just saw the dent in your door when you parked up. I would have been absolutely livid you clearly control your thoughts better than I would in that situation.
I can also vouch for how much of a cock he was being. If he wanted to drift he should to DWYB at Santa Pod and not a track session. Certainly have some respect around other cars worth 10x more if you can't help yourself. Penis.

They had posted plugging it so I'm sure they'll be happy to receive feedback, if it's only that we'll never officially support such a day if that is what goes on.

Stupidly busy to me. Im so annoyed the guy spun twice before he hit me, it was meant to be an intermediate session aswell. Unfortunately they dont state it requires any sort of previous experience. The marshalls really need to do their job though.

That second pic sums it up for me. Disaster.
That silver 206 was a race car, out with hatchbacks. Absolute lunacy.
