    That's Klausy's car (mate of Ian Simmonds), part of the classic audi bunch.
    Was a head gasket failure. The pressure blew the top off the rad.
    Hopefully nothing too expensive but still a big fix.

              yeah it was annoying for him as he's just got it sorted back out, don't think he was driving at the time as well?

                  not sure the name of the guy at the wheel but that's Klausy on the right.

                  He's too nice a guy to blame the driver!!

                      from what I remember when I was a passenger in both cars.

                          Sounds ok, one thing I did notice because I was looking at the gauges, going thru the first chicane both davids and alex's oil pressure dropped slightly, david's was by about half a bar, alex's went down to about 3-3.5 bar.

                          something else worth knowing, also think that alex's might have been the g's he was taking it at
