Who owns the P1 that spun at castle combe in front of the silver evo 6? looked like a very scarey moment indeed Only 5 mins before that a manta nearly (I do mean nearly) put it into the armco nearly head on at some speed then got it sideways on the grass and nearly put the back in to the armco then managed to get away with it JUST it was scarey from the outside let alone what it was like for the poor driver. Glad you both managed to miss everything. Looked like fun out there

Saw the P1 lose it out of Quarry corner, had my head in my hands waiting for the bang!!

Glad that it came away un-damaged!

the manta was the black one on tsw imola wheels. It looked like a very scarey moment to watch let alone what it was like inside the car I thought there was going to be one less manta on the road. I am glad to say it came out of it un-damaged although for some reason he never came round for another lap bet it was change of pants time there

It looked very scarey from the outside and all the people on the corner were going OOH etc. It looked like the inside rear wheel spun up then pitched you towards the armco was it as close to the armco as it looked? You were very lucky I think. Glad all is well

I was on the corner at Quarry when the P1 nearly lost it - have to say he was supposed to be on a cooldown lap and therefore shouldn't really have been racing past the Evo's - made him look like a bit of a **** I thought.

Did you see how much understeer he had his plate was private and read P1 BOMB obviously thats not the way the plate should read but you get the idea. Someone must know who has a P1 with a plate reading P1 BOMB

i find it quite comforting to think someone in a p1 could make the same mistake as me. my excuse is 240 bhp and rear wheel drive and by the end of the day bald tyres. just for the record hope you all noticed i gave that silver evo 6 a run for his money.
