I did it.......
I missed a corner on Zandvoort circuit (circumstances) and hit the wall (80 - 100 kmh)
Engine OK, exhaust and manifold, rad and a brandnew RIAL alloy are damaged.
At least I can say that I have a self built car with crash test

Crash

[Edited on 24/9/05 by erwe]

i hope ur ok

OMG!!
Sorry to see this mate, I echo the "hope your ok"
looks like she took a load of energy and let you walk away!
Fair play mate.

Just some muscles having a fight and my Ego is damaged!!
Indeed all the energy absorbed by the engine compartment, nothing in the driver space so now I know my design is OK...

Hey how much do you want for your engine??? just kidding, the car is fixable eh! you aint

That'll T- Cut out I bet.

you will be fine racing on a Nascar circuit now!!

looks like your cockpit survived very well. Good luck with the rebuild.

Bad luck erwe... a simple 'glad you're ok' doesn't seem appropriate.

However, glad you're ok...

Bad luck.

Congrats on the chassis though, that must be the "something good" that came out of the incident.

Pat...

ouch

hope you get it sorted...

6 million dollar man time. Hope there's lots you can salvage.

Hey Erwe, very bad luck. But i’m happy to hear everything is oke with you.
Now jou certainly know you have designed a safe car. Only next time use an real crashtest dummie.

To greet, Roy

So sorry to hear that erwe, you'd put some serious design work into that car and i was totally inspired by some of your pictures, get it back on the road as soon as poss!

Good luck with it

Geoff

Bad luck Erwe, glad you're OK and hope its back on track again soon!

Chris

Sorry to hear that mate. Glad your ok. Looks like it took a good thump..

Sorry about the crash, all the best with the rebuild.

Bad luck, or bad judgement? My condolences are worthless, but never mind, you'll enjoy telling the story in years to come.

it deffenitly is an bloody safe car,

what did you hit?

and how? scatch?

pff...hope you are ok and you learn from it..

was it in the wet/damp???

Tks

I build the car up from the firewall.
new whishbones left front and rear.
This week I will assemble it and saturday we will make the exhaust.
It will be ready next week and I hope there is nothing else damaged.

Almost ready !!
Just the nose and hood and the car is ready for next saturday at Nürnbergring (F1 course) race.
Because I had done this work before rebuilding was going very fast.
Car on the table (JIG) and weld the enginge and front part together.
