I didn't lift the bonnet 'cos I didn't want to not be able to shut it again. It bulged up about 6" on impact. Think the webs
where the hinge mounts have shattered, bonnet pins in pods have taken a beating, o/s wheelarch lip/edge has cracks and the top of the arch in the
picture is the worst bit. Looks like the rad is untouched and the hinge frame looks OK from what I can see, so can't see anything else being
damaged behind them. Drove back OK to the pits after being pulled off the banking. Just the bonnet fouled the wheel on right lock.

I should have really got the camera out when it rained, boy did it rain!
Was wondering out how the hellfire car and pal got on, on the drive home. We drove through some horrendous rain on the M62 or M18..

Good god that was a bit moist, wasn't it?! I could only see that I was still in my lane thanks to the cats eyes protruding above the canal!
Surprisingly when I got home the MK still actually started despite the deluge of water my wiring must have taken on!
Just had a quick look through my video. Sadly it seems that for most of the day my front-facing camera lens was steamed up (not surprising really it
wasn't covered up all day!) so there's not much to work with
Was a shame too really, when the track was wet I found I just had to pussyfoot around (especially under the trees, it was like ice!) I had one good
session when the track had dried out, but came in early because my oil light came on - turns out I had oil temp alarm set too low so could have stayed
out longer. 10 minutes later it p1ssed it down so that was that for dry running!

richard, but its not used very often
had a cracking weekend overall, had a good drive down the coast and local countryside on sunday finding some nice stretches of road of a blast and got
a little sunburnt.
really enjoyed the track despite the weather and will definatly return, well worth the 4 hour drive there.
was out not long after dinner when it started to rain a little but stupidly thought i would do another lap and see what it did, just past the pit lane
the heavens opened. that lap felt like 10 minutes and i could feel the water collecting in my seat. we wouldn't of been any wetter if we had
jumped in a lake.
had a good long session when it dried back out again and started to get a bit quicker but still being a bit cautious. saw a couple of people spin and
it was quite scary how far they traveled on the wet grass.
hopefully wont be to bad to fix the car adrian.
had they managed to get that striker on a trailer when you left? looked to be a few of them working on it when i left

The damaged Striker was still there, abandoned, when I left so I guess they were coming back for it.
Can't make Oulton as I'm away at the Tour de France that week (and I'd need a lot of gaffer tape).

I'd say even if it was bone dry, Paul would still be passing most of those cars. Having diven Pete's racing Civic in the wet, I
reckon FWD is much more predictable in those conditions though. Sad but true...
Paul, are you coming through to Croft this weekend for the racing?

What you can see from your video Simon,to say you have not driven the track much at all,your lines around the track look spot to me,you need to go
back now on a dry day,Ive no doubt then you will be putting in some quick lap times
