No throttle from .34 secs. Massive understeer off the circuit but the curve was not that great, possibly dusty track?

Impossible to tell if brakes applied or not, but you couldn't see the berm coming. May be the driver didn't either.

Body is certainly 'Foxed' :laugh:
 
There is a thread over on the corner carvers forum where Steve talks about the cage design, some fairly interesting tech about what was right and wrong with it.

Guy is lucky to be walking, quite a wreck.

Just looked like he dropped two off left setting up for the corner and started sliding....

Going airborne probably saved him, bled off a lot of energy.
