downimpact Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Video from last Saturday at Pembrey, I've re-wound it a bit so you can get a flavour prior to the near miss. Whether it's my fault or not, I'm not sure, but was definitley an eye opener and the closest I've been to contact in 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Eww god that made me cringe, very close indeed that could have been alot worse. Good job keeping one step ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Little bit of a brown trouser moment there! IMO that is completely the other drivers fault, they appeared to be off line through the previous corner and possibly on a cool down lap, they should have keep their mirrors checked...

Supra Kong Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 That was a tad close! Nicely saved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 As above, he's not on the racing line and has definitely slowed the pace, not your fault imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 considering how fast he was going originally, i thought he was nursing a problem and would have done the same as you. No way your fault and great reactions too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L18msy Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 As said, mirrors should have been getting used. Well done avoiding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 As others have said, you had the line Jon, so he should have let you pass. Other drivers fault completely. Well done for avoiding the contact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downimpact Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Thanks for the comments, was feeling a bit unsure about fault, after the guy tried to claim I was over taking him on the bend He went in at the end of the lap so I assume he was on a cool down lap, just not using his mirrors.

Fly Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Yea totally his fault off line regaining the line and off speed should have stayed off the line if on cool down. The car sounds great btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Wow that was close!, not being funny but you were both at fault there, 1, he should have let you through earlier as you were obviously quicker, 2, he should have used his mirrors more, especially as he was nearly off the track on that last corner then coming back on the racing line, 3, you should have waited for a more positive signal that he was letting you through, like an indicator or normally a wave in a kit car. But hey you got away with it and put it down to experience, i bet you won`t go for a move like that next time;) Sometimes its hard to read what people are going to do, i`d have kept my foot planted and passed him on the grass:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
