There must be something about that corner, seen a few go off there. All with the exact same result!

Damn shame though, nice motor.

If I was Simon Norris I'd either invest in driving lessons, or stop fitting cameras to my cars

Looks like driver error on most of those video, counter steer, then not able to catch it when I flicks back.....

Indeed, the scoob and audi looked like they would straighten up.....but no such luck. Would it not have been safer to spin the car rather than trying to keep going?
