Is this an Auburn?
Graham Main's damaged Vitesse - he wasn't at fault. He was forced off the track at the chicane when another driver who should have known better, and had already been overtaken, tried a dumb move. The Vitesse went off but I was right behind him and was also forced off...
The net result was that I clipped the rear corner of the Vitesse, ripping out a chunk of my rear wing and also damage to the door. To say I was not happy is a massive understatement, having just spent $40,000 on a full restoration. Sadly, we don't hold errant drivers responsible for repairing the damage they cause and to this day, I haven't managed to totally repair this particular damage, as to do it properly, requires another body off restoration. At this point, I had the extremely expensive laminated glass rear screen in place. After this incident, I reverted to the much cheaper original Perspex issue...
An accident is one thing. Poor driving is another thing altogether.
