Well it was a fun afternoon unfortunately cut short by an M6 Grand Coupe meeting the Concrete barrier during the first round of hotlaps. It was the passenger's side that hit the barrier. He looked shaken and was attended to by fire/ambulance.

The car had significant damage. Looked like all airbags, right front damage, wheel, cooling systems etc

OMG Do they have backup M6s? If I remembered correctly that's turn 4. It used to have a $ sign spray painted on the concrete. Did the instructor do that or participant?

Sorry to hear that. We had the full session, no accident. I wished the hot lap session was a bit longer and allow me to change car. Got stuck with the Fire Orange M5.

Oh dear! I was there on the 26th and did all my hot laps in the grey M6 Gran Coupe. Was that the one that got binned in the wall? It was a fun session and made my mind up that I need to get an M3 or 4!
