You're never too old to Rock'n'ROLL....

11th April 2021

Round 2 of the Autocross Club's Summer Banger racing championship returned to it's 50+ years beach track today.

The weather was a bit more comfortable at Chouet compared to Vazon beach yesterday and the action was entertaining as usual.

Proving that you're never too old to Rock'n'ROLL (get it?) Compo went topsie turvie on the pits bend.... and he managed it without any help too!

The smile on his face as he exited the drivers window said it all! He was OK he'll only have to deal with a stiff neck tomorrow as the double rollover was pretty dramatic.

Whilst I was on the corner where it all went wrong I could only react to what I saw and just managed to capture the second roll. Shame.

Make sure you follow this championship. It always offers plenty of action and if you arrive early enough you can even take a ring-side seat in your car so you avoid the sea breeze!

FOOTNOTE: I'd just like to add something to my comments above.

I've been looking again through the sequence of pics I captured of Compo's crash and it is very impressive how quickly the marshals reacted. In fact the flag is in the air before the car has completed its roll!
All Motorsport has an element of risk but it is reassuring that serious injury is very rare and the Marshals and safety team do such a great job. Well done everyone.
