According to the ph website

after seven years, 118 laps, nine engines and five gearboxes, at 8:37am on August 17 2013, said AX enthusiast nailed his goal with a 9min 55sec Bridge to Gantry lap.Apart from some sticky Yokohama AO48s, a small increase in fuel pressure, a strut bar (apparently because of the "mileage of the body") and an aluminium intake from the top-spec 1.5D engine to avoid said turret brace, the AX was mechanically stock.Even with fully independent suspension at the rear and tipping the scales at just 720kg - thanks to a completely stripped out interior

its amazing what an enthusiast can achieve

A few moments up one the kerbs there :O , see the car in the gravel after the corolla overtake ?

[Gambit]

I've watched many of the crashes on the tube at the Ring most seem to be rear wheel drives like the Bmw's worth a watch and another one with a Subaru at Spa smacks his up :( 

[Jay762]

is that the SPA one in the damp coming around the corner onto the straight, looses back end under power and drives into the pit wall?

[Gambit]

Yep thats the one mate you've seen it also ;)

While looking for it came across this 

Idiots that comment on Youtube videos some of them need to have fingers removed from being able to type I'me sure of it.

 

This is the one

That first one is a shame - he wasnt hammering it at all just caught out on the damp

[Gambit]

I agree I'd have said more than he did at the end. Mad how the rear end did seem to just let go on him but can see some parts of the track was damper than others. But I feel sorry for him I would have been well gutted.

Independant rear suspension on ax?? Thats a long way from standard, these things have torsion bars in the rear. Reckon my old 1.0 4speed petrol wouldve had him ;) sounded like a race car with no airbox haha
