You don't get much change out of them tyre walls . Mind you my mate lost his Escos last year at Castle Comb,and went through the gap in the tyre walls and hit the gate post backwards .

OMG, some bad ones there, I've been there and seen some of those crashes and they didn't look that bad but seeing them from another angle makes you think they might of been bad after all.

Nice to see both of the cavaliers hit the same spot!!!!

feel for the guy who's car got wiped out by the bmw, was the evo guy braking at all? or just understeering i guess.. the cossie was horrible to watch, however i managed a giggle at the chavaliers

good save by the 300zx too *i meant to do that* lol

Apparently (as per conversation on MLR) the guy had total brake failure at almost 100mph!!

That's what the guys on passionford guessed after seeing this video last week It was a nasty accident and so was the Cossie one and the Z3M although at least the Z3M driver missed the Lotus driver.....Just!!!!

I`ve watched that footage over and over again now. What you notice is how that corner spits you out into the tyre wall if you get it wrong. Not me though, I ended up in the field opposite!!!

I've seen (live) a 6 month old 997 written off at Coombe (Avon rise, just before Quarry). The car was being driven by the owner's friend. He wasn't insured. To say the two of them looked disappointed returning to the pits in the front of the flat-bed, would be a slight understatement.

How do I post a video.
I've some excellent footage of my mate doing a deliberate power slide around that corner in an Rover SD1 Vittese. Can I email it to someone who can host it.
Thanks
