not sure, i had a look at the comments and it didnt say he was/wasnt so hopefully he was alright, at the end of the vid there is a pic of him on the stretcher with his hand up so id imagine he was alright...

Yeah i saw this video before i went - its a pretty notorious corner saw an old m3 almost do the same thing, Dont do it flat out what ever you do.. Loads of corners like that which can easily catch you out.

Been well commented on before, various things were said but he did have odd tyres on if you're eagle eyed enough...

Dave, that video you uploaded......Check the corner at around 10 seconds. Thats the corner the ST crashed and you can see where he's ripped up the grass.

Well spotted lol.

I drove the ring 2 years ago. We went on a stag do in our cars (Corsa Sri, Bora and golf r32). By no means pushed it, went for the experience but even then its hard to get around some of the corners.
