It's amazing how quick it all goes wrong! ... I thought he was nice and smooth up till that point!.

yeah same here Ben, what i did notice though that there was a really dark bit on the tarmac that the then drove into that hoiked him around. such a shame really, but it really is over very quickly.

What an induction noise!! That can't be stock...........can it?
I must admit I could only drive a soft top in anger with a full cage, even if it is just a bolt in. That looked to be a very quick speed to lose control like that.

After a whack like that, I think I would reach up and see if my head was still there, just like the driver did!
