Morning, Well thought I would get some pictures up of my recent expedition to combe with the 206! Was about a month ago now, usual track day only difference was the rain! Suprisingly r888's in a heavy down pore grip so well!
The only thing that threw me was the time of day it started to dry out with just a few damp patches on circuit, which gave me too much confidence in the circuit (worst thing to happen)
My brother & my dad had driven earlier with a few spin outs but nothing major, my lap and this happened!
Few pictures when we got the car home!
Coming round Camp corner right on the apex, a mixture of going a bit too quick on a part of the circuit which was still partially wet. Back end went and started to kick out, Almost held it! Then hit the wet grass which just catapulted the car into the tyre wall. Was more thankful that it hit the tyre wall as there is a concrete barrier not far along!
Was definitely a shake up, but atleast me and my brother walked away with a few bruises.
Car is a complete write off as the whole front end has shifted over, never worth repairing! Engine still runs with the only part leaking is a burst power steering pipe. It's a big lesson that does re-affirm track days aren't always accident free but I know where I went wrong! Definitely take a lesson from this!
Definitely a warning to take it steady on a drying circuit!
Just glad this didn't happen in the 306!
The only good thing to come of it, because of how much was on the 206, would have been a waste to just sell up as it is a good back up car! Managed to collect this the same day
For a bargain price of.............. £260!
I'll try and get some pictures up of the swap over!
