YTCC zandvoort 2011 VT(crash)

First time out for the last round of the YTCC championship at the circuit of Zandvoort during the trophy of the dunes event.
To win the championship I only have to finish the races, so the most important things are not to crash, catch fire or end up in a accident.
Al these things happen during the weekend, but still managed to finish both the races at 2nd place.

This the free practice.After a couple of fast laps and getting the hang of the new chicane just before scheivlak..it just went bad from one second to another!
I run over the curbs exiting scheivlak, and everything seems fine.. and suddenly a big BANG and the back goes airborne!
I'm feeling the back is going to land a bit to the left of the front, so i countersteer to the left to catch the oncoming slide.
But as the car lands it's like a kangaroo and there is no way I can steer to the right in the split second that's left to get it under control again. So I step on the brakes and praying for a good ending
Presumably I hit a pothole just beside the curbs, but as you exit the corner you just come over a brow.. it's impossible to see this thing!
I'm uploading a vid of highlights (actually downlights is the appropiate word I think) of the weekend, in there is a replay and i'll try to explain the experience and my reflexes.
After making sure it still moves I go back to the pits and check the damage.
I'm just sick of it. I have to sit down a moment and calm down. The coach tells me to get back in his car and just do a couple of laps. I need a minute to accept the damage and move on. So.. let's try again. Back on track everything goes fine, untill a big oil spill in Tarzan corner resulting in a red flag.
Still had fastest time, but I was far more glad that the car had just a dent and was not written of as what usually happends when you crash at that point.

Bedankt! Het was wel geluk bij een ongeluk ja.. ik upload later vandaag een vertraging, daarbij kun je goed zien dat de auto echt van de grond kwam en er geen reactie tijd meer was.. echt zuur.

De races volgen ook nog.

Oeps, ik stond daar net te kijken toen dat gebeurde, veel geluk dat je niet vol in de vangrail ging! Wel onwijs gaaf weer hoe je in de races op de Porsche zat te jagen, echt een geweldige auto heb je!
