Rather huge high speed crash from D1 at Fuji on the weekend.

Greg/Bigwig- This is why, while I was doing roundabouts sideways in 3rd at 70mph last night, i dont look at the lampposts, road signs, cyclists, etc, that you noticed, as they are all scarily close, and id actually think about hurting myself
I look at the tarmac and kerbs, just pretend the rest dont exist

Try this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8LkOCF-XEo

The following car was at fault, let off, suddenly gripped and fucked it.

Lead car cut in tight on purpose to try make the other car slow and fuck up, but fucked up too much and hit him.

Sometimes that can be called as the lead car being just too dangerous, but not that once I doubt.

Either way both cars wrote off so neither would get through to the next round of the event.

Not much room for error at well over 100mph...

Fudgey-

Ginge-
