I just found this thread and thought I would clarify what happened, because was I in the crash and the owner was my dad. Here is the reason for the crash and what happened etc.
- Me and my dad were going to Donnington Park for a racing event
- The roads were super slippy due to rain/and apparently diesel
- 40 MPH
- National speed limit signs
- 5.0 V8...
- small amount of tread on Michelin Super Sports (just legal)
- back end stepped out in a pretty extreme manner and unexpectedly PS. traction control was completely on (sport was not activated)
- went straight into some motorway pillars (holding up the M1) at around 60/5 MPH
- The car flipped onto its roof and spun around a bit
*Everyone was alright thanks to the great airbags and structural integrity of the car*
My dad loved the car though, it was reliable, fast, good looking and sounded great when fully lit
