   This video is obviously several years old, because Here`s AC8998 (http://"http://www.brooklandsmotorcompany.co.uk/FeaturesSite/F2AC8998/f2fp.htm") being repaired at
   The Brooklands Motor Company (http://"http://www.brooklandsmotorcompany.co.uk/FeaturesSite/fwframeset.htm") in 2004/5, click on the 2nd from right picture to follow
   the repair...then the subsequent re-repair!!![xx(]

I spin, therefor I must go faster! Not to make light of the driver, but if you have spun off, do you need to "make up" the lost time on the next corner?
   
   Any track event I have ever attended, two spins would have brought a "come to Jesus" meeting with the chief steward! And the speed used on the grass after the spin would have also brought the wrath of officals.............
