northloop 0 Posted May 3, 2006 Hi, Just registered and trying to find out a bit more about this. It was a very heavy crash that happened on the morning of May 1st. The driver must have lost control exiting Schwedenkreuz and at some point must have rolled (a few times), and came to rest halfway around Aremburg. The damage to the car looked pretty nasty, and I did see either the driver or passenger sitting on the barrier with a bit of claret coming from his head. When I looked at the car and damage to the guys head, if that's the only damage he got, then he should do the lottery this weekend! Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

northloop 0 Posted May 5, 2006 That's just rumours. I think a car did come in to contact with a bike at the weekend, but fairly slowly. The biker did have to go to hospital, but is OK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrishill 0 Posted May 5, 2006 shesh, the ring in a car would be scary enough. the ring on a bike at full chat would require a colostomy bag. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted May 5, 2006 I think people just need to remeber NOT to try and drive outside of their abilities.. we've all seen Sabine going round there but she has done around 15,000 laps of that circuit - but I bet it still nearly screws her from time to time! Corrado's seem to be pretty damn good in accidents from all the wrecks i've seen whilst i've been on this forum and the amount of members who've survived to tell the tales - lets just hope this chap who stuffed his Corrado is ok!

stokesay 0 Posted May 8, 2006 My Brother was there when it happened. The Corrado overtook one of his friends in an Elise on the brow of a hill then lost it, hit a high kerb and rolled four times. Driver wasn't badly hurt apparently, just very shaken (thank goodness). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted May 8, 2006 Thats a real shame but again glad the driver was ok! I tell you, the Corrado is a good car to have an accident in! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveStorm 0 Posted May 8, 2006 Jesus that could have been so much worse, glad he got out of that one ok. Even though it rolled four times it just goes to show how tough the C is for an older car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a Corrado is a good bet as a track toy...... far safer than my current Baked Bean Tin! Apparently a new shape UK Impreza took out a crash barrier shortly afterwards, and got charged 2000 Euros for the priviledge, not to mention a couple of bikes down! Not surprising I suppose as it rained most of the time, and even snowed a couple of times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Monkey 0 Posted May 8, 2006 That's the only thing about the ring.... Cheap when you go on... Expensive when you come off!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 8, 2006 Yeah it has held together well considering. I think a roll cage is a wise investment when tracking a car even if you're not intent on thraping it round. Stops the car folding in on you and also strengthens it for better handling. Nice ABT rims on it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
