Exclamation Non-Miata: Heavy Exige crash at the 'Ring
This went off right in front of me, I don't mind saying I was a bit shook-up afterwards! I was in the little Caterham CSR - if I'd have crashed too it would have been ER time!


Big Lotus Exige crash at the 'ring.

The OP lives at the 'ring I'd like to think he knows the correct name.

Crash looks not much fun :( I've personally never seen the fascination of going to the 'ring, I quite like having some run-off. Lewis Hamilton I am not.

Video is always better... bet his neck wished he had a Hans, then again, it was more of a side impact, still...

His neck wished he had a seat with helmet tabs.

Looks like maybe he got caught up in the pace of the faster cars?

That has got to suck, I bet that chassis cant take much impact without being totally useless.

it looks like he just lost grip completely, it didnt even look like he pushed it too much. That sucks, at least hes alive. That looks like a brutal hit

I bet his wallet hurt after that... Sucks because it was in no way his fault.

I wouldn't even be that pissed if I crashed on that track, unless it was caused by a ******' oil spill!
