Lars was pretty sore after that crunch! As a few others will be!

Slow getting the yellow flag out didn't help.

An accident that may have been avoided on a conventional circuit. The joys of blind bends on city layouts!

Dear o dear. That hurt to watch.

What is the small silver car with the yellow band? Looks like an AC Cobra Daytona Coupe was washed too hot and shrunk! Very interesting field of cars though, the Ashley Spridgets are great to see.

I had no idea this event existed though, I wonder if it's worth going to see one day.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!

Hey all :D

Everybody was ok after the crash. But 3 of them had to go for checks at the hospital.
I was one of the mini drivers that weekend in my Surf Blue mini.
I have a onboard video here https://youtu.be/g2XjZp-q3dw

That "grey daytona cobra thing" is a Speedwell GT built on a MG Midget. The top body is in Aluminium. :)
