Pugfest - Pics and Videos - 13-07-14

Ah I see, really not good. Surprised they didn't email back either if they were so set against it!

[Eeyore]

nope...coz of an old fogey who didnt like anything but old MGs...

he red flagged it and shouted at sam to land it.....repeatedly. it was quite funny!!

But go for it Sam...a good old nasty email!!! I was well up for doing it then and there but you seemed too nervous to back me up!

Yeh so was I mate but he clearly wasnt the person to be talking to. I can see that anyone who doesnt know about these must think its magical flying things and that im about to go 911 on some 205.

Hopefully it will get through to the right person and itll be fine for next year. Its just annoying it was fine with the organisers for both FCS and Pugfest. Just the people running the track dont reply to anything.

[Slam Wagon]

I can see how an event organiser would just agree to it when your talking to them before the event, not pay much attention to what your actually asking them. And then not relay any message of authorisation to anyone else, next time if they do give permission before hand then just make sure youve got a hard copy of it and start waving it infront of peoples faces.

Better late than never Enjoy...

Those of you on 106oc may've already seen this, but here's the in-car crash footage from the 106 crash.

Did the passenger have his hand on the wheel for the first hairpin?!

[Toms306]

No lol, not unless he wore the same watch as the driver anyway!

I agree it's an odd steering method though!

[cully]

wtf! how was he controlling the car as his hands didnt have any control of it!

[Piggy]

such a chavvy way to drive...or just a pure track noobie?

starts with his hand in at the 12oclock and with a lose stand pass on the dash....pretty awful control on first hairpin...then keeps in it second and hardly brakes for the second hairpin, no wonder he went off!!

---

in fact, going by the speedo, I think he enters that hairpin at about 50mph!!

either he is a legend for trying to take it at that speed or just plain stupid

[Pebbles167]

Despite what his hands were doing, he crashed because he didn't brake into the hairpin. Very odd...

Edit: Judging by his speedo it looks like he was doing over 40mph on entry.

Edit Edit: Piggy beat me to it.

[Eeyore]

Yeh didnt see much braking going on. Very odd one handed approach going on there. I always use two hands.

lmao

i was on the hand brake on the second hairpin but then i remembered its french and they dont work!

[Poodle]

Just looks like he hasn't got a clue how to drive tbh, he almost went off at the first hairpin amd approached the second the same way despite that...

Some really good shots in there Ari, nice one!

[willJspears]

that white 205 on schmidts

[Pebbles167]

What's even stranger is his choice of camera position!

[Frosty]

[Dum-Dum]

The 106 looks like it came off as with his amazing steering control got his arms crossed for less than half a turn of the wheel and then had no more lock. It is pretty poor driving but if thats his level of control on a race track can you imagine how bad he is on the road.

Stunning pictures,

[Ari]

No idea how anyone manages to even go wide let alone do that and go straight into the wall Wise words "I'm done" after that performance I should hope he has retired from drivivng.

Iirc he went out a few more times in the afternoon albeit slightly slower with more use of the middle pedal

[Ari]

About a 50% chance I'll have a '6 before next years PF, depending on how the next few months go really

[lolsteve]

Just lol at the 106, cracking use of arms to turn the corners. Brave as well to try and take the corner without braking

He did indeed...also filmed those but they're a bit boring....

Didn't know it was him that went back out... I know the white 106 that crashed went back out.

[Piggy]

I'm guessing it was his first track experience....which in a way, the hill run was right for him. No one got hurt, it wasnt a 100mph impact due to the small sprint style of the hill run and he wasnt on track like CC with other cars and people who could have ended up feeling his stupidity in an accident.

[Eeyore]

A few more which are captured stills from the gopro footage.
