wait till he tries to explain how he was'nt racing to claim the insurance
would have happened to anyone in that situation i reckon
Yeah but it doesnt make it any less entertaining though.
too true
however having been in a very similar situation my self recently, albeit avoiding a fox, and not going to fast like he was, and being lucky to walk away, i dont find it quite as funny as others!
but i see your point
Oh I agree mate, I've distroyed a beautiful E30 BMW doing the very same, but if you cant laugh about it..... I mean we're both here to tell the story so its all good.

Tbh hes came off lightly with only damaging his car :thumb:
The recovery will be reduced compared to most as the car still rolls, the track doesnt have oil on and the barrier wasnt damaged :D
Kick the roof back up, top up the oil, and off you go again. Job's a goodun!
Have to disagree that anyone would've done the same though, seen plenty bigger slides be caught. Too much opposite lock when it grips though and round you go
Na, the Vtec kicked in Yo. Thats all.

wasnt really over correction, its because its an **** heavy lump of crap.
Done simlar at Llandow as my thread in muppet shows... (obv without the backwards into the barriers and no rolling lol). As said, too much opposite lock, it suddenly grips agian and round you go..... I'm sure more tallent would have caught his slide but not everyone is a fcking driving god.

what a JOCKEYYYY!! :D
what a JOCKEYYYY!! :D
Not meaning to cause any sh1t here
but id love to see you justify that, really
agreed...
Yeah OK most porch drivers come across as ****ers, but after meeting a load of them at the ring, the ones THERE arent ;) Plus fair play for pushing £50K+ around there fast..... I was scared stiff and lapped like a granny in my £10K car lol
^ agreed with Stoo. How about we give you a 350+ BHP RWD track derived road car, let you pelt around the "ring" and see how you get eh boss?
I say fair play to the guy, using a GT3 for what there built for, track use. Shame it went tits up for him TBH.
Exactly at least he binned it driving like that on the ring/a track rather than driving like that round a local roundabout.
Id love to do the ring in any car tbh but i know for a fact that even though i think im a fairly competent driver id still be staying well out of the way of everyone else and prob be staying in 1st & 2nd lol

if he already has a porsche and willing to hammer it around the track, then surely heel just go back home get the cheque book out and buy a new onelol
more than likley the younger type without the experiance imo.
Lack of experience. Not fast enough on the wheel.
Could be lack of experience, worn/failed rubber, suspension failure, steering failure, foot stuck under pedals, huge wasp in the cockpit, co-driver noshing him off while trying to negotiate corner, panicked, brake fade, general **** driver, oil on the track, spontaneous combustion of the interior etc etc etc etc etc
