I'm back home & all in one piece
The Soarer was going great guns all weekend, in fact I was loving it, huge amounts of grip for me out there, the 1100kg beastie really is sweet to handle now. Big thanks to Clarkey for some on route to Dublin motoway mobile mapping, she was fuelling all over the place on the way up & now she's
My gardening/armco incident was caused by my power steering belt popping off & winding itself round the pump
Not good when I was a couple of feet off Mulvey's rear quarter at the fastest part of the circuit. Result = Immediate exit stage left, thought I was gonna miss the armco - oh no I'm not - oh shit
Damage is'nt as bad as it looked, I was going to fix it for the 5 min rule, then realised it'd popped my oil cooler in half
So game over. Luckily my car is so heavily lightened it does'nt have any inner wings/valances to damage Headlight & indicator quarter lens are fine
thank god for zip ties
So its just a wobbly wing & a bent bonnet. We fixed her up at the track, bypased the oil cooler & stuck it back together with a whole role of gaffa tape
She drives all fine, cruised her back to Belfast to Buff's place to be fixed up & she'll stay there till Knockhill. No major damage at all, just a few broken zip ties & needing a new oil cooler kit.
