Good to see you were looking which way you were going as you went sideways. Post the still up - it's impressive. Glad the gravel stopped you (the right way up) before that wall

Funny 10 minutes before the incident I was chatting to somebody about whether Tower corner could be taken flat. Earlier in the morning I was close to hitting the limiter at apex in third so I changed up to fourth early and keep the foot planted. Held a few slides but ran out of talent at the end.  I thought the car was going to roll that’s why I put my arm out. No harm done just bruised ego. Not even a red flag! The support crew at LOT cleaned out the brakes for me but I had to head to Kwikfit to have the tyres removed and refitted. Went back out on track later in the afternoon. My friend just emailed me a couple iphone pics. Not going anywhere fast there mate!
 Getting it all wrong at 85mph+, backward and sideway.

By request. You still fancy a passanger ride? I wasn't on the brake until the car had gone past the 'point of no return' but by then it was too late. I thought I was going to hit the wall at first...... it was travelling fast on wet grass. Got lean angle?

Forum motto lest you forget, NEVER LIFT I always liked the chassis' playfulness at the limit in mine, you just need to keep your foot in to save a slide in these

The more I watch the clip the more I think about all those 'ah, there's nothing to hit at Bedford' comments. P-ride. Sure! Just not sideways into gravel thankyouplease
