Sucks about the damage, I feel for you :sad1:

But the car looks beautiful, I'm sure it'll look even better with some fresh paint on that quarter :happy2:

Yes, the damage is quite light. I am very fortunate about it.
Thanks for you input but I am maintaining my point of view: the cars balance is just right (on my taste) and my stupidity alone caused the accident. I should not have gone on the inside of that car...

Thank you! The car is in service right now and I will have a full respray. I had some previous minor scratches and now, with the accident, the whole car will get some new paint.

Every time we take our cars on track we learn something it is a big part of why we enjoy driving. Sometimes those lessons are painful but we are still learning.   :happy2:

I have a set of rules that I try my utmost not to break. I remind myself of these on the way to the track and every Time I strap my self in the car.  My main rule is to remind myself constantly of my limitations and not forget where my talent runs out. It takes discipline  as I know I could be a lot faster.

You need to stop being so tough on yourself, you only made a mistake of judgement.  :drinking:

You're right TC!
I like to push harder and sometimes my skills run out because we always have to push our limits if we want to improve.
I am being a little bit tough on myself because this way I hope to never do the same mistakes again. And I also hope nobody reading this will do any of my mistakes.

Well, it did look a bit of a daft place to overtake. But the main thing is you are not injured and your car isn't that badly damaged.  :happy2:
