Just what I was thinking.

Makes you realise just how important seatbelts are.

im not so sure whats so tricky about that corner - its got a low speed late turn in, power on a bit, line up for the right hander, get in tight, nail it and take it out wide. Aslong as u know its coming its a piece of piss.

Well suppose it could be a nightmare if u approach it all wrong cos u are still crossed up from the previous corner massive fish tail or something like I once experienced form the pax seat lol

Just watched that vid all the way through - its SO class

The VW beetle soft top took that corner with more committment than I did on a low 8 min lap

What the fcvk did they think they had going for them? some special formula 1 tyre compound or something lol.

It looks like its the weekend event to help ppl roll their car back over

ace

It is a bit blind tho if u dont know the circuit - Stef cossie killer went into it once like those guys when chasing the ring taxi - decided it was a 60-70 mph corner not a 30-40 mph corner like it is ( from memory )

Great video That is a good advert for seatbelts though As soon as any of the drivers crashed they were out of the door, sometimes before the crash finished

I'm trying to remember where that was on the lap though without a map I can't place the corner and I've been there
