    No pics, didnt think it fair, but me and Radders had our first trackday of the year at oulton on Saturday. Beautiful day,bone dry, no ice, but bitterly cold, so it was nigh on impossible to get any temperature in tyres, so grip was an issue. Loads got caught out, lots of stoppages :(

    Anyways, R&D in Manchester turns up with a very well turned out 575 race car. On slicks. Bad idea we thought....slicks DO NOT work until up to temperature, its like driving on ball bearings for two laps even in the summer.

    So the driver spins the big beast three times in the first hour, then about 11am, coming over deers leap onto the start finish straight, he loses it again and piles the 575 into the concrete pit wall :(

    Talking to the driver afterwards, it was his first time out in it, he had raced a 308 without incident all last year!!! He was gutted.

    Poor guy. :(

    I agree with Paul though, looks more like a modified 550.

    Was there much damage?
