Druids is a wicked corner ! Double apex and blind. I was fortunate to watch F2, F5000 and F1 cars through there in the 1970’s. Skill on another level. God bless.

Couldn’t see how you were going to crash because you were driving so well.

Made a conscious decision to keep foot in on this lap and then obviously ran out of talent/bottle and lifted which made the rear come round. Got to push to learn

That lift off oversteer decompressed the suspension reducing traction.. its unfortunate because flying through there takes balls the size of Jupiter. Good driving though nonetheless

Not too bad given the everything! Pretty mad lap too! If you're keeping the car for a long time, check the seams are still sealed. Easier to prevent rust than to fix it.

Ahh unlucky. Looked like you didn't get wide enough to the right before entering Drouids to get it straight enough before braking? Looked quick though.

Looked a soft ride which didn't help with the balance of the car. Stiffer springs and dampers next if your going to go that fast. Unlucky dude, poor rear window 🙈

Rear window ? Only a minor crack to the bumper nothing else , I had the bumper repaired which was a simple fix still on the car 👍🏻 yes some suspension settings to play with. Upgraded to a more track focused set 👍🏻

@@EugVR6 I agree, however imo it was more about the steering input, if he had approached the corner wider he wouldnt have had to do such large steering inputs over the crest and probably would have saved it, but like anything, hes pushing mistakes happen!

I did exactly that lift in a rear wheel drive 996. The instructor nearly had a seizure. He said the PSM saved us (though I thought it was my cat like reflexes ;) If you are going to write off your car though Oulton Park is one if the most beautiful circuits at which to do it.
