might aswell have just driven straight at the wall

no, because the handling on a gti is far superior than anything else so it will have just glided round the corner!

it probably would of meant the car was not writen off! infact the size of the gravel trap should of slowed it enough to not even hit the wall and if it did would of been a smallish bump!

Reminds me of the Scooby P1 at Trax many years ago! he lost it at the 1st corner and went into the Gravel trap sideways which in turn flipped his car over 3 times!
