Bet that was a l-o-n-g slo-mo half a second. Why no camera ready for it? 
It was a lifetime! 
That was the longest corner in the world and I'd just snicked it in to 5th so I was doing ~ 100mph...what you see there is just the last bit...did a 720 and went about 40 yards into the grass.

Hmmm - Goodwood. Too bloody fast a track with no room for error. Even the pros mess up - look at the two lightweight E types wrecked last year at the Revival. I seem to remember having two wheels on the grass at Fordwater and didn't dare move the wheel or my foot since the tyres were so close. Thankfully the car gently steered it's way out through No Name but then at St. Mary's I was so badly out of position I finished 200yds in the infield. Better that though than the tyre wall. I don't go back now because my talent doesn't equate to the track's difficulty; well, not at the pace the car merits. Anyway, there are plenty of tracks here in France at cheaper prices and with enough gravel traps.
yep we were there either the week or two before/after (cannot remember) when someone killed themself big style on the back of the track where you come out of some flowing esses dropping down before the right hander that start the turn back into the front straight. I am not familiar with names etc of corners but what I am familiar with is how dead that guy was. Think it was a beemer of some sort.
