I bet the farmer wasn't too happy - or the cows.

No doubt George will tell us the result of this accident was down to the inferior dynamic qualities of the Series 2 Exige over the S1! wink

Well it WAS a 240R so if any S2 is going to have good dynamics, it'll be that one smile

Just as the article says, oil down on the road and the Exige was the first very quick car through after it and it ended badly.

Car looks salvageable, the bodywork and the cage took all the brunt of the impact. Driver and co-driver came out without even a bump.

Oh... and when I spin it's always because of poor driving........ or the tyres.... or the suspension settings... or..... wink

If you can survive 100% rear bias with only your pride dented, then you've had a good day. wink

hehe The 100% rear bias lever is OK if you're expecting it, otherwise eek

Mind you in my younger days I used to occasionally give it a yank as passenger just to see if the driver was awake...
