Bummer .... I know the feeling as I kissed the wall last Saturday week in my race car - 520hp in a 1000kg car in torrential rain, second gear exiting T4 at Sandown, goosed the throttle in second gear and around she went.
Corner marshall reckons I was tapped but no witness mark in the bodywork, so I'm putting it down to a temporary lack of talent on my part - had to have been the worst driving conditions in many, many years, and even though I had the super-dooper Dunlop "monsoon" wet tyres on, 18% throttle at slow speed was enough to turn me around.
Panel bill was modest which was the only saving grace.
