Just to straighten a few things up. Approach to braking zone was 140mph. Trying out new brake pad compound, brakes locked momentarily (60 metres covered in 1 second at that speed- which happens to be twice the length of the gravel trap), re-applied. 95mph at turn in. 2 choices. Go straight on into gravel trap knowing I was going to have head on with wall or coax it round the bend and limit the damage. I have no money but do have a few race wins so wouldn't say I was entirely talentless!
i got some good pics of that crash. unfortunatly they are on my mates camera so havent done anything with them yet! i bet the passenger was shaken up a bit!
surely if you were testing a new brake compound you would take first few laps to get to grips with the car and new brakes?? but this was on your 1st or maybe second lap out in the car all day? i was there on track the same session and was pretty slow at start of the day and just gradually building up my speed finding my limits before i pushed my luck! also it looks like you were gonna make the corner fine just put the throttle down to early without knowing the grip and back came out!
Hahaha, that's absolute rubbish!! At no point in that video was the car doing 95mph, it turned in fine, you gave it some throttle and then ran out of talent. Try a skid pan, Lodge isn't the best place to learn car control!.....somehow I think you've realised that!

@yourtuber1999 except it takes alot more skill to drive one of those fast than a 4wd point and squirt thing
proof that money doesn't buy talent
Why can I hear you mash the throttle then?
Lucky it's a hire car you're testing brake pad compounds on fella..
