For people who didn't get to see this... I've been speaking to Baggsy and have added bits/changed info etc and he's allowed me to upload this footage of his horrible incident! Luckily, He's alright. Just a bit shaken up and stiff. FULL video edit from the event coming later this week! Callum Craddy / Project Touge.
He did fucking well to avoid the first barrier. U can see it change dir just before then onto the grass having to release midlockup too. Right choice there tbh
Defo the right choice hitting that barrier would have been nasty! Hope your alright and the car is fixable
oooooh dear hope Baggsy is fine.... good correction mid lock up! I defo think tyres are better that barriers like the one avoided..... car looks fixable at least.
I did think that myself at one point in the day. But nobody seemed to be hitting them end on. Well, Until Joe Birkett did. That caused a hell of a lot of damage underneath! JOE BIRKETT R32 SKYLINE DRIFT CRASH - 2013 MAXXIS BRITISH DRIFT CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 1 - LYDDEN HILL - YouTube
How come this was happening anyhow? I'm presuming everyone was told to flick it in rather than wand it, and weren't too used to that, so...
Yep, we were told to flick it in.... Not allot of people seemed to listen though Tyrestacks like last year where much better imo
Dont think the damage to baggsys car was that bad really, mainly roof by the looks of things Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
Here's a good in-car vid of the smash with various angles. TBH I'm none the wiser from looking at it, but it's a good vid.
I thought these guys were supposed to be Pros? Looks a bit tame tbh... Weres the full beans, flick entries? I have seen more commitment from people in the ODC comps at Buxton! lol
Heard the noise when it was rolled back onto its wheels over from the final bend! I would not of been happy at the JCB driver!!
Steering wheel folded like a cheap suit :O At the end of the day at least he was ok. People can comment and say "Not committed enough" but in fairness 95% of the entries from that day were weak ass ball sack. It's an accident, it's motorsport and it happens. At least no one was seriously hurt and hope the next round goes better for him.
Steering wheel was bent as fuck before the accident even happened. All the interior flying everywhere, jesus. Anyway, like above - very good that no one was hurt.
