Its these new breed of DIY race car people that think they are the next mclaren F1 team because they wrap dash parts in carbon fibre cling film that are to blame.

Can't even fit a steering wheel properly

It was just a simple accident. All 3 are alive as said with no life threatening injuries. If the barriers had done there job then nothing would be said about the driver.

Kind of agree with jim, fucking people desperate for scene but no idea what they are doing, to fuck up fitting a steering wheel to the point it comes off in your hands must take some serious doing, theres loads of fail safes built into them

It's all speculation, the steering wheel story so far has no evidence and is basically Internet hearsay.

How can you comment like that when you weren't there?

From what I have heard, it was not the owner that was driving the car, so a simple mistake could have caused this accident or a faulty product

I just can't believe they deemed them barriers as a safe precaution for protecting people from high speed cars.
