Came round the final bend, taking it steady and back wheels clipped the curb. Kicked it out and I wasnt able to hold the slide.
My mates all said afterwards they were wondering how it happened as I wasnt going quick into the corner. I have seen loads of people lose it there so I knew to be careful.
Car is coming home today so when my knee allows it will be stripped to see how bad damage is. Looking like a reshell project at the minute.
On crutches for now though

Gutted about the car but stay positive, get you're knee better and then sort the car! Important thing is you were safe enough!

Gutting about the car, hopefully can be sorted out.
I remember see'ing Simon Norris stack the Evo, couldn't believe how high he managed to hit the safety railing.

Thats off my account
Funnily enough he crashed the new car, at Combe the very next year
Simon Norris only ever uses the Green Evo 9 for TOTB @ Elvington and showing off at car shows. I think due to the amount of surgery that car body has seen it doesn't comply with most Saloon car series regulations.
