Hope he is OK

Hamster? Cat, more like.

His poor family must be like, "Enough. Enough now."

Completely missed the seeing the bend, therefore he was going far too fast to do anything.
You can see the skid marks only start just before he leaves the road. What a numpty for not reccing the circuit properly.

Or he was doing one of those face to camera moments, expressing how ridiculously fast this car is(was), before he became the proverbial passenger of a fireball

It was a Rimac EV supercar.

My business partners aren't going to be too pleased with this outcome

There's no way on the planet he didn't "see" that bend, and the fact there are skid marks at all is strongly suggestive of an ABS failure (or whatever the equivalent would be in a hybrid car with KERS), not driver error.

Very lucky indeed.

I agree, the fact there are a few videos of him doing runs before suggest he knew the corner was there, and it hadn`t jumped out from behind the farm house,

Im guessing he has driven a quick car before so he shouldnt have been caught out in a daft way without a failure, imho.

In this clip he is being put into one of the Yorkshire air ambulances

It is a long way from home
I am guessing it is a library pic they have slotted in.

Looks like the back end went light under heavy braking - the tail wagged the dog - he was just a passenger after that.....

Hope it (or the programme makers) was well insured - can't imagine there are many of those around!

Dunno about his family, I've been saying "enough" since I first saw him on TV in some daft science programme.

Manic little w@nker.
