As a form of motorsport, you'd have to say that Autocross (a kind of a cross between autotesting and sprinting) is a pretty safe one.
The sort of competition, in short, for a chap who doesn't want to risk damage to his P 'n' J... After all, there are no other folks to overtake, no trees to hit and no track day numpties to avoid.
Should be all good, right? Er no. Not if there's more power than grip plus more ambition than (apparent) experience and a nice solid kerb to thwack into as in this video, poor chap...
