    Gutted!!! Did you do much damage? It looked like you very nearly avoided the barrier.

    Unlucky, the wheel really snaps when it goes.

    How you get it fixed up and back out ASAP!

    What caused it ? Oil, tyre on the grass or rear suspension bottoming out ?

    Im not sure what caused it to be honest my instant reaction was someone has nudged me...

    Then I remembered no one was near me lol

    I was told someone had dropped some coolant on the track. I also found that 2 corners before I had what felt like a lot of wheelspin coming out of a left hander. Not sure if that was the CV failing and then it somehow locked a bit mid corner....

    Or it was just down to good old cold tyres but normally when that happens its fairly progressive and never had it snap before.

    Il be booking a drift day soon lol
