looked kinda funny (not haha) when it flipped - like too much power to the inside wheels, but then it turns over like a kite once it's in the air.

cheers

Surely that can't be 4wd? Either that or he's learnt to use his flyoff handbrake really well!! Perhaps he had some really shite tyres on the rear.

Either way, it obviously went wrong early on as there were cones everywhere. He went into that corner totally wrong.

I still say that its a good bit of driving prior to the roll though.

looks like they took the wrong line into the corner allowing it to slide out to the gravel trap. gravels a bugger for flipping cars if you go into it sideways.
