He should take up drifting. As someone stated in the comments,

i take that dip at 100mph, although i dont like it because of the reasons mentioned above, mainly camber and getting squashed into my seat.

More to the point....the stink in that car would have been just awful with all occupnats experiencing 'synchronised self fowling'!! :pmsl:
That was a hillarious vid..sorry but i wet myself imagining the look of sheer horror on their faces as the armco went whizzing by a rizla paper away from trashing their ZX. :lol:

its intimidating at the best of times going down there - let alone sideways, backwards or out of control.

Yeah that lift off oversteer is a bugger

Good save but I think it was more luck than skill, wish I was that lucky.

For starters were they driving round the ring or to the shops, I can't believe how much talking was going on in that car, a little bit of concentration wouldn't have gone a miss.
Surely before driving the ring you should make sure that a) Your vehicle is suitable - and not bouncing all over the place in a straight line. b) Your use to driving at speed c) You have some understanding of how your car reacts to driver imputs.

As far as I can see the only things that could have caused that are driver error. He either must have lifted off sharply at the point of the dip or worst he touched the brakes.

Having just reviewed my own video footage went it was wet and my first ever lap I was travelling quicker than he was and that was not exactly a difficult stretch of track.
