Same! Amazing the number of people who ended up hanging out the cars after flipping them!

Shouldn't laugh but the amount of peoples clothing just lobbed out of cars was brilliant

best way to take it is to stay right out and brake and turn it at the very very last minute

That isn't the worst corner, I would say that where Graham crashed is bad (Swallows tail) or corner before the mini Karessel is bad.

lol harsh

i would say its worse then either of them two, as you have a hill then a sharp right followed by that even sharper left, you have the hill and the right which unsettles the car, and you are still carrying speed from foxhole. The only saving grace being if you go straight on at that corner at least you are just going over grass not into a barrier

swallow tail is agreed quite a nasty too due to the speed and the slight incline.

that mini karrusell corner isnt bad at all imo

should see the state of safety back then though i once bought a mk1 polo, old Y reg for 50 quid off someone, and the seatbelts didnt even have clasps to push them into literally you just hooked the belt around these hooks in the floor

According to Jeremy Clarkson, this is why the motorway speed limit is 70, because it came around when all cars handled like that and could hardly get to 70 anyway
