accident at Spa Woodcote Trophy race
Does anyone have a photo or video of the accident at Rivage involving the Aston Martin DB2 car 69 and the armco - this is quite important as it wasn't a driver error but we need to see any photos or videos before making any rash complaints or rash statements

Unfortunatley it wasnt driving standards that caused the accident but a defective part that everyone uses whoever they are - it has caused rather a lot of damage to the front suspension & chassis never mind needing a new bonnet - about 25 to 30k of damage.
We will have as a consequence 45mtrs left over of the correct 2.5" x 1.25" & 1.25" x 1.25" box section left over for any other DB2 or 2/4 chassis repair as we are going to have to pay a fortune to have this made again - I suppose this helps my company as a major restorer of Feltham Astons but doesnt ease the pain!

Thanks - From the photos that you posted Tatounet it is what I thought it was but I could do with some more photos to back it up.
Steve was at this stage just a passenger from what we think those photos show but would like more proof before voicing our thoughts and concerns.
This wasn't a mechanical failure.

Am I reading this correctly? NOT a driver error, and no mechanical failure? Are you briefing lawyers re Act of God?

Or am I to take it you are looking at a 3rd area?

Here's a photo from Rivage the lap before the incident just in case that is of any assistance.
