Radical was flyin. Looks like the brakes work pretty good too seemed to scrub off the speed pretty quick.
Looks like the Radical was at fault though. No space, not exactly a slim car and the Golf seemed to be taking the line for the corner which the radical driver should have seen coming tbh.

Only on the Internet could that Golf be deemed responsible 
Say what you want about Ring rules/etiquette and bad lines. Ultimately the radical had plenty of time to see the Gold and should have given it a bit of space. Shouldn't have relied on the Golf to have seen him IMO.

Its courtesy to do that whereva, unless its a race day. In which case you have the blue flags.
The radical was given space, the golf was right over the other side of the road when he went to go past how much more space do you want? The golf on the grass waving him past with his penis?
My experience is if you have the gap and need to go past, do it as quick as possible, dawdling waiting for somebody to change their mind is asking for trouble, drive confidently and (usually) you will be safer

On a normal road you wont pull to the right to let someone past.

Cant believe i waited so long for 10 seconds of something.
I dont know who'd be at fault, but i know who won.

You would in a country that drives on the right hand side of the road, its procedure to overtake on the left

Radical, its always the person behinds fault.
Was literally a couple of seconds to spot that in the mirror, golf had no chance

Almost ten seconds as I said 2:27 - 2:35 is where he would have been noticed approaching if the guy was frequenting his mirrors. Watch the radicals POV you can see the golf miles before, if you can see the golf the golf could see him

I reckon it was an act of terror by the radical driver.

In the comments the guy driving the Golf says the Radical was painted a matt gray colour and had no lights so didnt stand out well at all.

Some of the comments show how the Radical shouldn't have tried to pass in the 1st place.
No over-taking on bends. Pretty sure that was a bend.
Also, the Radical wouldn't have exactly been as easy to spot as a full size car.

If you listen carefully, the radical sounds just like a golf

From a non-track day going, lowly, maggot it looks to me as if the Golf is completely at fault.

It wasnt a bend, you can take that section of the track flat out, on either side of the road. There isnt even rumble kerbing there.
I think thats what threw the radical driver, you dont need to take a racing line, yet oddly the golf was doing that.

I know very little about track day etiquette... but I'm going to talk anyway 
I'd have given the radical the corner if he'd at least managed to get alongside the golf... he didn't though, he just rear ended him.
I know in F1, if someone dives up the inside and manages to get level - it becomes the "defendant"'s responsibility to yield. The Radical didn't even get that far, he just misread/anticipated the golf.
That all said, both parties could have avoided the collision - pretty clumsy on both sides.

Id say he got that far, he hit the golfs rear 1/4 hence the spin, the radical was holding his line, was going faster and went through a clear gap on a straight fast section of the track. The golf when he went to go past was on the right hand side of the track, it wasnt tight, and he couldnt possibly have been shown anymore room unless the golf went onto the grass.
The golf clearly was focussed on going forwards, and paying zero attention to rear or sides at any point in the previous 10 seconds before the crash. This is a massive no no.
The radical was clearly on line, didnt deviate and the golf closed him out on his way through, hence the golf hit him

He got to the bumper at most, and that is only because he was going so fast

Radical actually scrubs a lot of speed of which is again a praise of his driving, at time of collision he'd nearly gotten down to the same speed as the golf.
