the track was dry but on this corner the back stepped out and instead of spinning (which i'd have preferred ) the tyre dug into the tarmac and flipped me over. like a high side on a bike i guess.

luckily (!) it rolled on the bonnet so the roof and shell are ok. the repair will be cheaper. phew! :sweat:

the silver one was a noble. very similar to a lotus. the driver wasn't very impressive i have to say. a guy in a renault clio sport was lapping faster! :rofl:

thanks. if you've ever seen on board footage of a rally car when it rolls, it was exactly like you see on tv. the only thing missing was the logo in the corner! :hehe:

i've learnt the hard way... :puppydog:

i do like rallying but unfortunately unlike f1 that's on every fortnight i keep missing it because i never know when it's on. :puppydog:

years ago i went to watch a rally and at 6am seeing the brake discs glow in the dark as they went past was awsome! :thumbsup:

I wish they would bring rally racing to The U.S instead of just Mexico.. I would be out to watch in a flash!

here for us Speedvison sucks.. most of the time it's nothing but Nascar....

but we get some rally and F1 racing.

Rally France is up next, I've never seen this one before, I've heard it's fast.

you mean official WRC events?

IIRC, we do have rally events..Rim of the World here in CA for example... just not that many.

6 Oct 2005, 05:52 #1520

Yeah official WRC events.
