Re: In the News
Great post. I'll bet it happens more often than we know, since a lot of drivers wouldn't want to admit peeing their pants during a race, and in those fireproof suits it probably wouldn't show. And close calls. No doubt a lot of drivers sprint for the toilet as soon as the race is over.

Re: In the News
It is fairly common for drivers to pee in their suits, especially during endurance races.
The cockpit can reach 50°C, depending on the outside temperature, so the drivers do a lot of pre-hydration and continue to hydrate during the race.
I'm sure if you ever meet one of the crew members they would have at least one interesting story about a desperate driver.

Re: In the News
On 8/18 Adrian suggets a supply of adult nappies to be carried for a crisis. I endorse the suggestion for emergencies and and occasions when I know a crisis might arise. I have never worn a full blown nappies since being a small boy but always carry good heavy duty man pads in my car and have sometimes had to insert one in my briefs, most often in hold-ups on the M1 etc. Once I was held for so long I had to remove the first when it was sodden and use a second.
However I like to try to hold on till home but a few times on the M25 this resulted in my wetting my pants only a mile from home.

Re: In the News
The thought of you urgently "inserting" a heavy duty man pad down your briefs Evergreen has me feeling all sorts of things not appropriate for the General/Open section of this board

I suspect he was more concerned about emptying his bursting bladder than any smouldering wood.

Apparently his bladder was full enough to be effective, and that would have to be quite a lot!Lee wrote: ↑31 Jul 2018, 18:45I saw that article!Def123 wrote: ↑31 Jul 2018, 17:44 Story on the bbc news today:
