Ouch.

You can see how crumple zones have changed over the years.

Ouch that's a sad sight! :(

and wings are like rocking horse :eek::eek:

i would love a mk1 escort:)

It was a very fast car so i believe. He had the wrong setup on his brakes and lost it on a corner then spun out into a pile of tyres. Hes not to bothered by it .Say's hell be back up and running for another go in November.

Just a bit of T-Cut will do

Ouch. I was offered a Mk1 Mexico that needed a bit of TLC a few years ago (just before they rocketed in price); but I wasn't allowed it (something about already having four cars on a driveway meant for two cars...)

Gutted now:(

Mallory Park and yellow cars don't go together [poster remembers when his yellow octavia blew its engine at said same circuit a few years back ]

I used to work with someone who had one 'first time around'. He reckoned he could manage ten minutes grid-to-grid (for those who know Corney Fell). Actually, now I come to mention it, I think there's a member on here with similar stats for an RS1600...
