Prescott Hill Crash - S/C Lotus Exige leaves track, lands in next field.
#26
For all those who didnt recognise it... those flashing lights are either, the "OH f*ck EMERGENCY BRAKING" lights, or the shutter speed of the camera (which i doubt)..

also, the raise in throttle is him lifting off of the clutch in a lower gear...

from the video it doesnt appear he actually braked, but then it also doesnt appear that he is going very fast when he accelerates,.


so... he approached too hot.. possibly brakes failed, had his foot on the clutch and had already downshifted to turn lifted off the clutch and whine... over hte barrier.

from the last comment on the youtube vid..

Great video of the incident, I was spectating on the outside of the first bend so we saw it fly into Pardon corner far too fast,, heard the crash and saw the aftermath too as the car landed in a field BEHIND the spectator enclosure!!

seems its quite a common thing.,
