This is like saying that you never go out in the winter or when mildly moist.

I'd heard he is a good driver with lots of experience but seeing the vid - what a schoolboy error. Round the outside, off line and in deep water mid bend at around 90mph. Why on earth would you overtake there???

It’s a shame , a loss of a nice car , the driver seemed ok which shows the cars are pretty tough , and it can happen to any one , i found out about the don’t lift off mid corner bit as some one was loosing it near me , but it did not go too far wrong
