1 dead Norris designs Evo

Trackday insurance covers yourself only, no third party liability. But this wasn't a track day, it was a race..

And it was Simon Norris' fault, followed the other cars through when he should have passed on the straight. Too focused on the cars in front and whiped out the poor pug.

Reyland Cossie gone. Norris Evo... Tragic.

Why the heck was a 106 on the same circuit as a modified Evo?

The Reyland Cossie is written off dead?..they aren't repairing it?

Liverpool-Lad · 7 Oct 2007 at 00:49

They killed it again. Don't think its a write off though.

To make the grid bigger and look more impressive for what is really a small championship. Should be strongly looked at imo, this kind of thing is inevitable when you mix 500bhp Evos with 100bhp Pugs.

Other than the fact that they don't have 120bhp cars at GT series racing.

Bet the novice in the other war was a tad scared.

I'd like to know this too, surely it's crazy mixing such contrasted performance cars up like that?

It is relevant really, in a short 15 lap race the Evos are lapping the slower cars several times apparently, and when you have very fast cars mixed with very slow cars sharing the same piece of tarmac, this happens.

Ouch!!

Thats gotta hurt. Fantastic photos though.
Looks like the evo understeered into the pug? surprised it rolls tho rather than just slapping the pug.

Having seen the pics I'd be very surprised if it was dead, the damage is bad but not excessive.

Nasty.
