Cant believe the way he lost it so easily, and pay attention to first words .

Drive Safe Guys

Just put his foot to the floor before the car had straightened up. Wouldn't have surprised me if he had the diff set back to try and get some tail out action in the wet judging by how easily it span up.

Shows how such a relatively low speed off can be serious as well

hmmm - think you must be right there george - diff set to rear/free and just too much too early

Sh*t not good - really felt for him - unfortunately the risks you take - also not a good sign that the screen was cracked - guessing damage was bad!.

it was a write off

luckily we can get track day cover from Keith Michaels eh Paul?

:-D Yep

uh oh

must have been a bad day at Castle Combe.There was an E8 MR go off in exactly the same place about 18 months ago in the dry, maybe a bit of a funny surface :?:

LOL !!!

There you go kids. There are 3 acpects to a corner

Turn in
Apex
Exit point

I didnt like the line in which throws the 2nd ( more important part of the section ) part and a fatal mistake of too much power too soon.

I think he failed on all 3 accounts

This is probably a stupid thing to say but when I bought my evo 3 I thought awd meant I could do whatever, give power whenever and stick. I have had a lot of trouble losing control. I now realise that i cannot give throttle round a tight bend. Even the slightest bit. Im talking 20kph Im used to a lil front wheel drive honda. Im learning slowly. Awd drive is just a completely different style to driving.
