Spun and went backwards into the tyre wall at around 80-90mph after he was trying to show off drifting around the final corner!!
You would be seriously gutted wouldnt you!

I know what you mean matey! Ive always found it best on track to take it at your own pace, dont try keeping up with anything, dont race and DONT SHOWOFF!!!

at least it looks like most of the damage was at the front? Like someone has said above he could probably savage the engine?

I think I'd be happy to get out of that alive tbh rather than worry about a peice of metal. Could have been very nasty

he never hit the tyre wall. he hit the gate i.e no protection
and my m8 who was there said the cossie was about a foot shorter than any cossie there due to the roof ad floor crumbleing
its scary
luckily the engine should be fine

well if he was drifting round a corner and lost contol, that makes him a muppet in my mind, it seems that too many of these cars are being crashed because people buy them and feel they are pro racing drivers, when they often prove they are not
