Clearly caused by his grip on the steering wheel ;-)

Well held though - the guy's got quick hands and plenty of balls!

Cheers,

Bray Hill is notorious, to be honest he got off lightly compared to some of the crash's that have occurred there with the motorbikes:

Ouch, the last seconds of that clip with the guys mangled limbs flopping around turns my stomach. These guys on the TT have huge balls and I take my hat off to them.

Great instincts from Higgins as well, so calm and made it look effortless.

Regards,

Jeremy

Some footage of the record lap and some slow motion of the big moment at the end. Great footage.
