100% the civics fault. IMO

Was there and have the whole lot on camera
your mate pulled over to the right going through the chicane, about 4 cars passed him as he slowed to a crawl (inc the 3 evo's he was holding up) then all of a sudden started to accelerate and pulled back into the racing line doing about 30 with a train of cars coming into the corner at full speed.
205 had no chance of avoiding him to the point people round that bit of the track were actually shouting things like WTF IS HE DOING.
