"When you spin, both feet in."

Unlucky! Hope you are back out there again!

[audiostank]

Not much you can do....if I was that guy I would have tried to let it roll out of the line too before a bigger whammy hit me

[curlyafroninja]

Bad luck mate :(

[ArnaudShanghai]

Nothing you could have done....you really have beautiful lines! Cheers

@ArnaudShanghai - Thanks

[mattbiker78]

skip 2:36

[MaxxUK]

@zeine1989 - thanks, I did include a 'skip to' time in my initial comment but its dropped onto page 2 now, still hurts to watch it (financially) :)

[shiftingclown]

allllllll man i felt that coming

[ashacrasha]

Wow excellent control, very high speed stuff! Shame about the biff, but really nice driving!

[swtscr7]

how much did the repairs cost?

[MaxxUK]

@swtscr7 - Would havce been somewhere around £1,300 but I traded 3 weeks in one of our apartments in Tenerife so not a direct cost.

[Makinen11]

Terrific driving up to the crash, you were on thin balance all the time very nice to watch!

[usrgmx]

Great racing action, love the cameras, bad luck with the crash.

[kvalle1]

Ouch, sounds painful...glad you were okay...hope the other driver was too. ..could never do this in a million years...takes a special breed...:)

[MaxxUK]

@kvalle1 - Painful for my wallet Karen but no lasting physical or mental effects, still as stark raving mad as I was before the crash. Other guy was fine but even more wallet pain than me I think.

[MorgothBBO]

Looked like a fun race, shame about the red wrecker.

Jens from the GPL days.

[MaxxUK]

@MorgothBBO - Hi Jens, Yes, I do miss SHIFT-R (Repair & Continue) :)

[glennreidno1]

Not much you could of done there Maxx!!!

Looked hectic out there.

[MaxxUK]

@glennreidno1 Hi Glenn, yep just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'd expected the driver to clutch & brake once he'd spun (the old saying, "if you spin, both feet in") but he didn't and rolled backwards across my path.

Look forward to seeing some of your onboards once the season starts.

[testacorsa150]

oh noooo - thats just bad luck.

Great videos you have!

[MaxxUK]

@testacorsa150 cheers, just checked yours and you have some interesting stuff, no time to watch now but have subscribed so I can check back later and get updates of new stuff you post.

[testacorsa150]

@MaxxUK Thanks a lot.

Sadly i´m not a rich man, so i have been "stuck" racing gokarts, at a hobby/training level. I am dying to race cars, but so far, i have enjoyed a lot of onboard videos on youtube, which takes the edge of the urge ;)

Yours are def. really good to watch, and the telemetry stuff, makes it even better, so thanks for that!

The UK has a huge scene for motorsport, which us Danes can only dream of, and the tracks you have, makes my right foot itch :)

[MaxxUK]

Actually, only just spotted on the speedo it was an 80mph smash and the data-logger "jammed" at 70mph.

[lukewill783]

OUCH......How much damage to the car???

[MaxxUK]

@lukewill783 - at first we didn't think very much, these are strong little cars but once all the bodywork was stripped away we found quite a bit of damage, dampers, suspension arms etc. chassis was straight though so could have been worse. The other car was much worse.
