Brands Hatch January 2023, I think it needs to be seen to show just how easily/quickly things can go wrong.
Find it hard not to cringe watching as you can clearly hear me being way to greedy on the throttle before the apex, diff pulls the rear and it was just too little too late on the correction. Onto the grass and it was then damage limitation, 80 mph into the barrier, I was expecting a big hit but didn’t anticipate being launched backwards into the air. Initial impact split the fuel tank filler allowing 40ltrs of VPower to flow in, luckily the impact also ripped the front dash off pulling my isolator connector.
Sitting on the grass with your car upside down puts things into perspective and I certainly have no regrets on the money spent on safety. Helmet, FHR and roll cage allowed me to walk away from this, I don’t think the gdfautofab cage has a scratch on it. Also a shout out to the marshals and medics who were there before I even got out 👍
v2 is being built.

Unfortunately Nürburgring doesn't allow you to have a Hans device, so getting a helmet and 4/5/6 point harness and roll cage is a bad idea. I'm kind of forced to skip safety gear in my own track car. Well... At least I'll have like $5000 extra to spend on my hospital bill 😂

I love this video. Driver is clearly no idiot as evidenced by the initial 30 seconds of driving, an honest and accurate self assessment of the error leading to the crash, text book procedure for surviving a crash unscathed, all the safety gear is in place and does its job and still able to open the door to exit. The fuel is scary as hell but it could have been so much worse. 10/10

He gave it as much as was appropriate. Same with keeping on the throttle. I had a spin off at Mallory; the rear came round and I gave it full lock... the rear gripped up, snapped back and spun me off in the opposite direction. No chance of saving that, it's not possible to go from lock to lock fast enough. In my case, I should have given it less lock and mashed the throttle.
