He started braking hard as the suspension rebounded and the tyres were unloaded, hence the ABS activation.
I was there when the accident happened, the track was closed for 90 minutes while repairs were made. When the track reopened, they were still repairing the barrier, that section was under yellows.
Why people still let him drive their cars is beyond me. He had 8-10 crashes last season alone, that puts his crash rate between every 50 and 75 laps. Would you let someone drive your car if he had a 1 in 50 chance of crashing it?
It's also very telling that he needs a gofundme to fix the car. He has no insurance and cannot afford to fix it himself. I hope poeple dont contribute to the gofundme, they are enabling this sort of behavior.

No way as I'm sure you wouldn't. The owner didn't seem to mind too much and was looking forward to the rebuild with a race dash replacing the standard one together with the likely undamaged engine/gearbox . Accidents happen for whatever reason and I say good luck to the go fund me contributors if they want to part fund the rebuild.
