White S3, followed by a White Clit, then a white Rocco.

Big bills for the S3. :confused:

That S3 didnt handle that bend at all. Is that the same bend as the famous Vauxhall vxr killer bend aswell?

Gutted for its owner too.

Its almost  like a forgot to turn in, he wasn't going that fast either considering the speed the clio was catching him.  I always tuned in alot earlier on that bend to allow it to drift out on the power.

And of all the places to cream in, its right in front of the crowds.

Same bend as the VXR, although i reckon the VXR was going faster...although that said his tyres were squeeling like a good un

Pretty clear from the Clio footage that he didn't (or couldn't) turn in.... 

That would've been a grim trip home, plus there'd be bills for the repair and from the track!!! :sad:

Looks like a costly day out for someone.

I wonder if he was 'unsighted' coming into the bend by the shade of the trees.

Quite sure his tyres wasn't up for the job. I believe i ran faster in that corner and just tasted the grabble with the left tyres, he has no grip at all, and he's quattro. Tyres is all i'm saying. Gutted for him  :sad1:

My guess is he spotted the clio in his mirrors, then looked back at the track ahead, realised he hadn't braked yet for the bend or turned, did both at the same time equalling fail.  :driver:
