    WOW!!!!!

    Would that be a failure of a part of the car or just driving too fast?

    I'd say the rear stepped out as he tried going under and we saw him step off the black stuff trying to correct. The rest is insane and how he walked away... Good on the lads for getting to him ASAP as well.

    Wow, I would say the Renault driver ran out of luck or talent. Maybe got a wheel onto the grass.
    Really lucky to walk away with some bruises and a broken hand.

    I can't understand how these chaps aren't wearing helmets. To walk away from that is extremely lucky!

    There is a high speed crest just before that point.

    I think a lot of thanks go to Renault's safety designers, I hate to say it but had that been an older car it would probably have been fatal.

    That`s down to the angle he went over the crest.

    I`ve overtaken cars going over the crest and on the left, it`s very iffy. So much so that I don`t do it now. :o

    On the right, with the correct line, it`s no problem.

    It was you who told me, to do all your braking etc before that crest. I was slow anyway so was naturally on the right of the road/track.
    Is it because the drop on the left is much steeper than the right? Hence the left of the road/track causing significant suspension droop as the car shoots for the 'air' followed by sudden compression?

    Not the first video with a car going off there.
