Renault masters thruxton

Pears · 29 May 2004, 18:00 (Ref:987422)

Anyone have any news on this event, this weekend?

Tweed · 29 May 2004, 18:21 (Ref:987452)

apparently someone's sadly been killed in clios

Kicking-back · 29 May 2004, 18:41 (Ref:987468)

Where did you hear that?

I just checked MST and all starters finished the race.

L-B · 29 May 2004, 18:42 (Ref:987469)

Autosport - http://www.autosport.com/newsitem.asp?s=14&id=27594 I put it inthe club saloon forum

Kicking-back · 29 May 2004, 18:43 (Ref:987471)

The result I saw must've been a countback after a red flag.

Jamie P-E · 29 May 2004, 18:52 (Ref:987479)

Sadly its Kevin Lloyd

apparently He went off out the back and struck the barriers at around 130mph

The championship has lost a character who loved his racingand was well respected.

Kicking-back · 29 May 2004, 18:53 (Ref:987480)

Sad news.

Gaz · 29 May 2004, 19:08 (Ref:987492)

Sad, sad day. Kevin might not have been the quickest but he was a guy I always cheered for as he had a passion for racing and was doing something he loved.

This puts into perspective any argueing about anything to do with racing thats gone on over recent weeks. I'm not sure I want to go to Thruxton tomorrow now. Rest In Peace Lloydy - you were a top man

Russfeld · 29 May 2004, 19:18 (Ref:987498)

Hate to talk racing atm, but in the 2litres, where'd Eurotek go? No Woobens in Practice or qual results.

**bella** · 29 May 2004, 19:22 (Ref:987500)

eurotek and carrapatoso don't have the budget to go any further.

I know this is used as a term of insult towards Barrichello but what has Carraparosto done to upset you?

Pears · 29 May 2004, 19:36 (Ref:987511)

Sad news indeed.

Pears · 29 May 2004, 19:38 (Ref:987513)

Any news on formula renaults?

I was insulting a particular strain of British accent, not the South Americans

Gaz · 29 May 2004, 19:40 (Ref:987516)

Barber on pole for both races, Storckenfeldt second to him in the first and Conway on the front row with him in the second. Lets hope for a good, clean, safe race

there's the pdf with all the session times from today.

Russfeld · 29 May 2004, 19:45 (Ref:987522)

What was the logic behind a standlone second event at Thruxton, when there's a huge gap between This event and Croft in the *end* of *July*

Gaz · 29 May 2004, 19:50 (Ref:987525)

Teams couldn't budget a trip to Mondello and theres no other major national meeting between now and then apart from the SRW at Donington.

Plus it was a renault 30th anniversey celebration weekend so they would want all their championships there.

I here racing for the day was cancelled following Lloydies incident...does anyone know if racing will go ahead as planned tomorrow still? Its just I've gotta drive down tomorrow and don't want it to be a wasted trip.

Russfeld · 29 May 2004, 19:54 (Ref:987528)

Reckon anyone will bother with DP? With the Italians having Monza that weekend they'll need grid fillers (they have a pitiful 17 at Brno this wknd) and there's a matter of pride at stake.

**bella** · 29 May 2004, 20:10 (Ref:987544)

i've not seen or heard anything that would say that the meeting's been cancelled tomorrow. i hope they've considered everything in their decision.

Gaz · 29 May 2004, 20:21 (Ref:987555)

I'm sure Lloydy would have wished for racing to continue and I'm pretty confident it will.

Seems MCs struggled for pace today. It was only in that last session he looked anywhere near Wezs pace. Good job by Alex Storckenfeldt as well after his Oulton nightmare.

Hope Matt Russells Ok, heard he had a mighty roll out the back this morning and is now out for the weekend.

Also such a shame that Ruben has ran out of funds as he was certainly doing an excellent job. Seems like last weekends needless shunt has put pay to his season...

**bella** · 29 May 2004, 20:47 (Ref:987574)

at this point i should probably remind people that the name of the fatality today hasn't been released, and that jamie p-e was working along the process of elimination on the mst timesheet from the event.

Gaz · 29 May 2004, 20:48 (Ref:987575)

Do apologise - i hadn't realised that was the case. It was just what I read on the clio cup site

**bella** · 29 May 2004, 20:52 (Ref:987580)

as i understand it, they haven't released a name yet. i certainly haven't seen the announcement made officially. i might have missed something though.

Kicking-back · 29 May 2004, 20:59 (Ref:987582)

Anyone who was at that part of the circuit would know, but of course the police have to make sure next of kin and family are informed before they'd release a name.
