Thoughts on people that mod cars not knowing what they do

[toseland]

i think its fair to say that running no ARB on a tuned lowered and adapted tarmac race car is one thing, which already has a widened track by the looks of it and as you say 300lb front springs which are stiffer than standard anyway, being driven mostly on glass flat race courses wouldn't be too much of an issue additionally you would be expecting the handling to be precise and know how it handles without ARBs.

however removing the ARB from a standard road car then driving like a tit, will likely exaggerate body roll to a point where the car becomes critically unbalanced and falls over.. it doesn't take much to roll a car but the proper application of force and direction, and anything that accentuates or makes body roll easier further helps this phenomenon, a dip in the road on an off camber corner,

People are probably right with this.. too much beans and not enough skill has caused him to run out of road, but it looks like he probably was going sideways and the passenger side wheel has dug in and pulled the car over.. as welshpug says this was probably a slight decline too further adding to the problems he was already having.
