Doh! What happened to make the car crash like that?

*Apparently* the block is a cock.
He spun it on the sighting lapped, almost spun on the 2nd lap, and on the 3rd lap he crashed!

I would have said yes, it was probably a panic lift which caused the sudden weight transfer which pitched it sideways, but its easy to criticise when its someone elses "mistake"
By the sounds of what someone said earlier, he was trying to be a hero anyway?

camp corner has claimed a few over the years.
its quite a fast corner with most cars being able to take it around 70/80ish, and if it goes wrong, there is very little run off to save you.

He lifted off the throttle, hence why it snapped like that.

Got it in one, you can hear him lift then it snaps back.
A fiesta xr2 spun in front of me last year at Eurofest cos he let off.
