Ouch, that Armco looks unforgiving. :shock:

Not sure how he managed it though, looks to be straight going up hill.

*sigh* Reckon he was lucky to keep it upright really.

I do think it's tricky keeping something with a short wheelbase steady over a rise at 120ish...

That would have been unpleasant I should think!

Got a bit light on the front over a crest and landed as he hit the breaks for the upcoming corner, pitching the front into the ground and the back end round maybe? :?

Lucky given the way it lifted up at the second arnco. Have to say the shell stood up well though. :!:

Funny how these things work out with people being there to film it on their phone.

Plenty of those sorts of vids on YouTube :(
S2000's (plural) on here and a sol.



Looks like a popular spot to crash there!

I guess the real worry is the difference in how normal drivers react to crashes around them, compared to experienced racing drivers. You see in these several occasions where there's a crash, another car goes off line to avoid on the inside, other cars coming up behind slow right down and then some numpty at the back decides he'll try and drop in between the 2 at full speed to try and take the lot :tosser:

It's hard to see in the vid in the first post but I think he got on the kerb which started his slide. I have seen it a few times before (especially in the wet) where a car gets a wheel on the kerb, begins to brake and ends up loosing it.
