Ah mate, thats pants. I brings home the dangers of the place. Mind you, if it was brakes, at least he wasnt on the autobahn etc, could have been far worse.

Not good, hope he was OK.
at least he didn't have to worry about re-patriating the car.

Was only one corner from where I spun, as can see my favorite corner in one of the shots.

I'd be very surprised if you would take the back spoiler off on a standard looking subaru still with twin peashooters... hardly a drag beast

Did have a standard spoiler yes.
Adam brought the car purely to take down to the ring for a bit of fun.
Completely standard car
