Mmmmm!! Not quite so simple. First Defender took exactly the same line!

Every lane can be driven differently. When the car in-front of you successfully takes a line you usually follow it don't you!

I'm not defending it because I would have taken that line, just saying the driver was attempting to be flash and it can easily happen.......................unless your a faultless driver like some people!

I'm just editing footage from before this happened and when we drove up the same section there are loads of tire marks up that bank. Maybe not quite as high but not far off it. Looks like a lot of people have been successfully navigating the track that way for quite some time.

It's all very well to say you don't follow other people and I agree to some extent but there must also be a school of thought that if the guy in-front of you successful navigates an obstacle with no issue taking a certain line, your probably a fool for doing something different and untested.

All this makes it sound like I'm excusing the driving. I'm just saying it's far easier done than people seem to think
