The Norris Evo is totally to blame for that one, the Peugot driver gave him plenty of room but Norris Evo lost grip and under steered into the pug. At least everyone is ok, bent metal can be repaired.
Also on a track day i thought you couldn`t overtake on the inside, well thats the case with the track days i have been. A lot of people don`t rate Norris`s driving from what you hear.

Wasn`t a track day, it was the last round of the Castle combe saloon car championship, so they were actually racing, just strikes me as a bit dangerous to let cars that un-evenly matched on the track at the same time in a proper competition race.

This is common practice in motor sport mate, you have different classes. Look at Le Mans for the most famous example of this.

At least everyone was ok thats the main thing.
Its ok everyone blaming Simon for the accident but these things do happen in racing no matter who is driving.

Gutted for him, thats gonna cost. 
When your competing at that level thats the trouble, when it goes wrong it goes really wrong! Bet the poor Peugeot driver didn't know what hit them! Amazing the height he got!

it was a racing incident fair and simple, but i feel gutted for the pug driver 
i would have driven straight into the wall, concentrating too much too much on the evos behind! Also think it shows how much energy there is in a car travelling at 100mph odd.

looks like it, the comments on YouTube are not friendly about him
It did look like something went wrong though...he did not even attempt to take the corner

Yes i admit to soiling myself. After his last crash at Combe when he mounted the fence i was a bit worried

That guy is a liability,clearly can't drive for s**t.Looks like he needs some serious instructor lessons,i'm surprised the driver of the car that got wiped out didnt lamp him one.Nice to see Norris (if it was him driving) jump out the car and scamper off
