I don't think anyone's posted pictures of the damage, basically the F360CS driver was a bit ambitious at T9

Whatever it is, he broke the no overtaking at a bend rule. The E39 lost it's entire rear bumper....
Damage to the 360CS was some dents and scratches to it's rear bumper, not too bad except it's fibreglass so pretty ex to replace.

On hindsight, I took a bit too much risk in the wet at T8, the short straight to T9 has very little run off, in fact it's just grass then barrier, I was lucky most of the slide/spin was on the track and only ended up on grass at the end of the spin

BTW, the weight savings from the PS2s (vs runflats) and new exhaust make a big difference. I was able to hit 180+km/h on the front and back straight easily. If I did well at T14 and T15, top speed was close to 200km/h near the end of the straights Previously, I was lucky to make 170+ km/h

Actually, it doesn't matter, can claim since you don't have to mention that the damage was done at a track session

It's about what you put into the accident report when making the claim

Tracking sounds really exciting!!! Must follow you guys there one day....even if I don't intend to participate. Just seeing you guys in action will be trilling enough; very much unlike the fun we had during IDT.
