Really enjoyed the vid thanks for sharing. All the best for future events.

 

I'm happy to hear that you weren't hurt Tom.

Metal is easier to fix than organs and limbs but you, of all people, know that.

 

That's racing for ya but I'm glad that it came out the way it did. You're a class act for admitting your fault and showing the vid for all to see!

 

A couple of points-- trying to stick your nose in there was overly ambitous --yes. The first one was fine-- the second was never going to be a hole.
Certainly apologise- I never like the precedent of asking or paying for someone else's damage. And yes I did read explanation.
Couple of points-- did the cars ahead at start qualify quicker than you? If you qualified at normal speed then it makes the move even more ambitious. I presume you have straightline speed of significent margin over Ferrari's-- so why not do it the easy way?
From the time you entered the track-- was there a pace/safety car leading you around? I thought you were way too timid in getting heat in tyres-- you are on slicks? Not R specs?
I am not being judgemental -more interested in your view.
I hate crash damage-- no matter who is at fault--it all ruins your day/s . Bad luck and as you said,at least you can upgrade with replacement parts.

 

Thanks for posting, that was very stand up of you to replace the Fcar wheel. What was the Fcar divers reaction? How pissed was he and was he at least thankful you replaced his wheel? How much other damage to his/your car?

 

Nothing wrong with such move. He was way off to the left and just a bit too late onto the ideal line. It seems to me you could have made the turn should you've not hit him. It’s a typical Arton’s move; I am coming - no points for second place better watch out for me - I am quicker! It’s a racing incident and a true racing move, but maybe a little bit too pro. Not all that nice if you guys are playing for fun. Good gesture paying for the damage to rear of his car. Great video keep them coming. What’s up with your car?

 

car will be back on the track in 2-3 weeks for the Homestead Race. see how that goes.
Ferrari guy was a class act and expected nothing and was not upset a true gentleman. the kind of guy you want to race with.

Red 9 not much left I can say at this point. my closing speed was fast, in the brake zone deep, cold pads car went about 5 feet past my turn in, hit the Ferrari, pretty much thats it. I will try being calmer next time?

140mph down to 50 and fifth to second gear and half a million dollars of cars around ya gives you alot to think about in a millisecond.

 

glad everyone is okay....and you did the right thing... cant wait for future vids, hopefully with no accidents...

 

oh well now I am infamous.....

Hey Tom, sorry to hear about the crash. Glad that no one was hurt... and the fact you paid for a new rim for the ferrari shows the class act that you are. Better luck next time!

 

He, he, he. Look it was racing and you proved Ferraris are slower. .

Not sure why have they put your story next to the photo of Gumball race in Yugoslavia where Porsche driver smashed into a golf and killed two people then tried to flee the scene of the accident? Get that photo removed from linking it to your story!

 

F'n Porsche drivers... WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE???

Don't sweat it Tom... You're living our collective dreams man... Keep livin' it!
