Apart from he was probably going 100+ and its a right hander where the road cambers away from you slightly, causing the back end to step out ;)

On the previous video where it looks like the white rover was pootling along I can tell you that was doing NSL+20 approximatly, so make of the Civics speed what you will, id say 100mph easily.
 
I know i'm a week late but glad you all had a bob on time, I definately shall attend MM9!!!

rG-tom - your photography is mega, you really draw out a quality in cars. Plus hats off to you for running to help out Darryn BEFORE he had even finished his accident at MM7. rG-tom OcUK salutes you!

It's roads like that which make me glad I've not fitted coilovers/low profile tyres/anything that smacks of handling but requires billiard table smooth tarmac.

Thats a concern I have chap, my 172 Cup absolutely demolished this road but I dont think my Exige would be near its pace. Its the really bumpy section when going down hill towards the bridge that I reckon my front splitter would be grounding out on. This is where the likes of hot-hatches etc really are awesome fun.

errr what ???

theres no way the rover was doing 90mph in that video.

You only have to look at the video of the old jaguar / aston thing that went by, and the subaru to see what sort of speed others were doing. They were drastically faster than the rover and theres no way they were doing 100mph +

I think you completely miss understood what he said.

The WHITE Rover was doing 80mph (NSL +20 is not 90mph) and it doesn't look that quick, the EP3 crashing looks VERY fast and I agree he must have been belting it. But only Darryn truly knows and the speed should stay as that.
