For me you have to be a spectacular bell end to lose a £200K car in the first hour. Take it easy and practice the levels of grip in a dry open area. Even pootling around a track for £200 would have been cheap in comparison.

My sympathy-o-meter, reads zero..!!

I bet he did...wonder what type of excess is applied to the 'free' insurance. When I picked up the MC, I had 7 days insurance but didn't even think to look at the excess. If he didn't have gap insurance that 1 hour drive will likely cost him £20k....

Shame a beautiful car has been destroyed, glad the driver got out safe. Seems everyone is ready to hang the guy for making a mistake.

You think another driver/car was involved?

Silly tw@t.
Reminds of all the nonchalant ferrari owners who end up stuffing their brand new prancing horses into the armco at the ring and then laughing it off 'i'll get a new one tomorrow..'.
The lucky ones end up with just burned out clutches, only to return the next weekend to stuff it into the armco... :lol:

I'd still like to know how one ends up 50m down a banking when one's maintaining sensible speed.
