    I'm with Stu et al on this one..

    To me it looks like he was driving too fast for the conditions; realised this approaching the corner and hit the brakes, front right tyre hits an area of standing water and aquaplanes leaving the left tyre to take all the braking load which quickly follows suit in losing grip.

    Straight line into the side of a mountain, the end.

    I think had he left the brakes alone or used the whole of the road and straightened out the line through the corner, he might have got away with it.. but experience and hindsight are wonderful things.

    Shame as it looked like a mint motor, and possibly a 16v, too [8(]

    It looks like it could even be an VR6!! :o

    I thought anchors were to stop boats in the water! :lol:

    It was a 16v, best thing to happen to one of them really, the extra 10kg in the over use of valves and cams caused understeer!
