Peeps getting out of shape in some weird ways! The Evo looks like he had a ton of understeer seemed to go straight into the tyres! Not a fun place to go off most of the vids I have seen of CC have been crashes :shock:

simple solution, don't go, not never!!!!!!!!!!!!

poor bloke not only to either crash or break down but to watch your car torn in half by that Z3M, no luck, but then again at least it missed him

Makes you wonder if some of them actually realise that you have to slow down, and maybe even brake, before going around corners.

However some of them were going off on the straight before they even reached the corner.

Looks like too much speed then turning wheel. Must be too used to it defying the laws of physics :roll: :wink:

Thats scarey stuff stuff guys. It makes you think of another driver crashing into you, as your car is sat a the side of the track. I bet there was a few serious injuries to the wallets also. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
