Some people are worried about the difference between right and wrong. I'm worried about the difference between wrong and fun.

Hi the driver was Brian michham who resived no injuries just a bit miffed.
The reason he spun was he was taged from behind by adam white who opologised after.
As you can see it was pi55ing it down with rain that started as they were on the grid only 2 cars were on a wet setting brendan dudly and ali garrat
because i saw the strike of lightening in the distance whilst in the collecting area and with morris dudley managed to switch 2 cars to wet setting in
about 1 min. This is why so many cars simply fell of the circuit and adam white an ex karter did a astounding job of keeping it together in the wet on
dry settings.
Oh and brians car was not to badly damaged and will be at the birkett 6hr race at silverstone in 2 weeks. Would you belive he is 67 and dosent walk
around the paddock to well. But you should see him dance on three pedals like a 21 year old .
cheers matt

I was right behind Brian & Adam when that happened and it was really quite worrying - not just the speed he went off and the fact that each lap
afterwards you could see his car there upside down, but also in the way that the race continued despite the ambulance & medical crew out on the
grass.
Considering that the track was more slippery than anything i have ever driven on (rampant wheelspin at 30mph in 3rd gear in a 85bhp Locost?!?)
i'm surprised that there weren't more incidents.
Along with Brian, i thought it wasn't one of the 750MC's finest safety moments, and was up there with the time at Cadwell where the
CoC's car was parked on an access road and the ambulance couldn't get onto the track. :s

Actually i blamed the muppet in the race before ours whose engine blew up in a cloud of smoke as he passed the start/finish but he continued slowly
but on the racing line until Craner. 
The next 6 cars behind him all spun, despite slowing down for the striped flag, and two of them had a nasty t-bone, dropping even more slippy stuff
all over the track. Then it rained on top of that. 
I normally like racing in the rain because it makes our otherwise slightly girly cars feel quite powerful. Racing on a mixture of oil, antifreeze,
aviation fuel and water, i don't like quite as much...
