Still trying to find photos of this.. ANyone know who takes photos at lakeside?

[ScatterBrain]

There were 3 main photographers there, One from the BMW club, 4020 Media and LC Photography. None of which have uploaded any photo's of the BMW crash, Although I haven't asked if they actually have any.

Possibly wouldn't upload for any insurance reasons maybe..

Surely you wouldn't risk jail by getting the car towed and faking a crash on the road, that's fraud.

Good day yesterday at QR, Shaved 1.3sec off my pb. Quite a few cars suffered heat related issues, 3 cars left of tow trucks with dead engines. New front springs worked a treat, Now I just need to raise the front roll center.

Today was the test for the new Aero mods at Lakeside raceway. The amount of traction was just phenomenal, I was just getting the feel for it when a slight vibration developed in the front. At first I didn't thing much of it, I felt like a bit of rubber stuck to the tyre so I gave the brakes a stab and the vibration went away. So 2 lap passed and then the vibration came back harsher, Stabbed the brakes again but it didn't fix it. This time however after each corner the vibration got worse, So I decided to pull into the pits and check it and I'm glad I did.

I found the Left front rim with 2 broken spokes and the 3rd starting to crack on the backside. The upside is I set a new PB on a broken rim but the downside could have been very catastrophic.

That's hardcore! Very lucky it didn't spit you off or explode

Wow that could of been bad. Good work on bringing it in to have a look over it.

Really got to run a high quality wheel when pushing these at the track. It's just not worth it.

They are Koya Drift Tek's so they should have been up to the task, I've sent an email off to koya just to get their opinion on the matter.
