If you go to the link and then to the 2nd page of their topic their is actually an in car video from his car of the whole thing. After he goe's into the lake you get a good look at his eye's. Damn you feel for him.
Good news is his brother is a great mechanic so in 2 days had the car ship shape and running again!

Momentum Keeps Me Going
What's up with Lotuses? I see them smashed, spun, and generally in all the wrong places on track all over in pics on forums & in real life. Must just be fussy to drive, another reason to love my 8 , cause it only loves me back. And what is with that little 'puddle jumper' that didn't quite get the idea - jump over the puddle, not in it :D !
Nice pics though....
just watched the vid, what happened? A FWD car in terminal oversteer on a corner under power?? How'd he do that?

If you want to see how one of these Sporivo's go around a track download this video. Bloody quick little cars!

Wow. Seems he was too hot for the corner, completely lost the line, missed the apex, ran wide (turned left in a RH corner!), changed into too low a gear?, locked it up and enjoyed the ride from there on in!
Nice find, ILIV48!!

I will watch the video tomorrow.
Stuart do you want a sticky pod in your car? www.stickypod.com. I think of one, the pro said it helps you a lot but I am not sure I will pay for that. :p

Well I was thinking of trying Darlington Park. I think I'll do a few stints at Queensland Raceway until I get my confidence up - no water, no rocks, no embankments... just concrete on the last turn before the straight.

Just watched the video, pretty scary. That was the fastest corner on the track, when I was on it in the 8, if we back off the accelrator too quckly and weight shift forwards, it is easy to lose the back. On my first lap or 2 DSC kicked in to save the day.
It is a really nice track, but you as a driver gotta know your limit and shouldn't push too hard if you're not comfortable. When I went, 1 dude dinged his 911, not fun for him, but interested for the on lookers.

I don't have a video camera so not much use to me at the moment. And if I was going to spend enough to buy a decent camera I would prefer to put that towards some good track tyres instead!
Just over a month to go. I know a few mazda SP23 owners thinking of going too!

I wonder how many laps he'd done before that incident.
Glad to hear it all worked out for him....always expect to pay for your education
