    My new GT3 Design

    Well bad things can happen even to some experienced drivers.
    Let me tale with you my story.

    This wk-end, i had my last Race in France. Weather was beautiful, track condition good. Startet sunday morning the Qualifying with new tires. ( bad choice, I know ) Second laps, i got a GT3 sticking really close from my A.. .

    Instead of giving me space to do a time, he stick to my A.. like he would do the race. Well mistake can happen and i'm not going to judge his behavior.

    After the start line in Magny-cour there a fast left curve. Lost the back in the curve and putt gaz trying to maintain the car on track.
    Well i could'nt make it and lost the rear & car completely. As the one behind me was really close, i guess could'nt much else as breaking. As he was in the curve, he lost the back as well, went in the gravel and hit my car on the left side with his front.

    Under the shock and the gravel, the both windows of my car exploded. The gravel + windows pieces went all over on my helmet and car. Under the shock, i went into coma.

    Qualyfing has been stopped with red lights and me brought to the main hospital for a check. Today feeling ok but a huge headeck and need to see Doctor again for a better check.

    It could have been really bad if another car would have come out pit lane. A good star was watching over me. Ending a season like this is always Grrr..... but that's sport and i accepted it

    Re: My new GT3 Design

    Oh no!! Cram - first of all, I hope you're feeling okay. That's the most important thing of all. The rest can be fixed/replaced. It's a crying shame what happened to your gorgeous GT3. Hopefully, all will be well so that you and your car can be back on the track where you belong.

    All the best for a full and speedy recovery for you both

    Re: My new GT3 Design

    Ach Du Scheiße
    Cram, I'm very very happy that you're O.K., bud Must have been a rather strong impact
    I know that you're a guy with a good humor (the thread title proves it ) - this will help to get rid of any dark thoughts soon
    You know what the horse riders say - if you fall down get back in the saddle as soon as possible
    I know that you're one of the best behind the wheel of a GT3

    Now I'm worried - you changed the title...

    Re: My new GT3 Design

    Thanks Easy and PJ. Yes the impact was arch. The funniest about that is: as i open my eyes after my coma and still was on the track but already in the ambulance. I said to the guy please do fast cause i have to race in two hours. .

    The car should be fixed in 3 weeks and thinking to go to Nordschleife. I have to seat back in the car.

    Re: My new GT3 Design

    Glad you are ok Dont worry about the car - all can be fixed. Important part is you have new racing story to tell

    Re: My new GT3 Design

    Sorry to see and here this.

    Glad you guys are ok, material can be replaced.

    Re: My new GT3 Design

    well this one is a good one

    Re: My new GT3 Design

    Sorry to read this Cram.

    Is there any form of insurance covering such 'racing'damage? Get your car and yourself back on track asap!!!

    Take care!

    Re: My new GT3 Design

    I wish you all the best.... You were lucky!!

    Re: My new GT3 Design

    Glad you are okay, Cram!

    A shame what happened to the car, especially as it was totally unnecessary.
    But things can be repaired and the scars will be of an advantage with the girls.

    Re: My new GT3 Design

    Wow Marc, that's nasty! When I saw the title of the thread, I was all getting excited...
    Good to hear you're okay, hope you'll get out of it without any permanent damage. Loved the pun to Gnil, keep up the humor, and get well soon man!
    Will they be able to fix the car, or is it written off? Hope they'll be able to fix it up til newstate again.
    All the best.
    -Joost-

    Re: My new GT3 Design

    To echo the rest, glad you're well. Hopefully you'll be back in the driver's seat before you know it.
