A quick vid someone captured from this weekends round of time Time Attack at Knockhill. A CRX running the the Pro 2WD series got it wrong approaching the hairpin and got air off the saussage kerbs. There is a bump in the track where I think it throws the car off line:

My own incident at that part of the track could easily have turned out like that, thank fook it didnt

It looked like he was going insanely fast into the braking area

Yeah I think they are around 400bhp in that class so he'll be tanking it at that point. With only 200 odd bhp I am doing over 100mph before braking. Who knows what speed the CRX will be doing.
The Evo's that you see in that vid are around 1000bhp.

The TA guys are nutters, but you have to be since its only one hot lap. I think its fair to say they end up going off regularly.
I hit the bump in the track then brake, these guys are having to ride the brake over the bump so that migh unsettle the car a bit. I got taken around in an R35 GTR and when braking you feel those bumps!
