Maybe it could have turned if it wasn't as heavy as the titanic

I'm kind of surprised that the impact with hay bales was enough to deploy the airbags.
Frame by frame you can see the hood buckled at the same instant. That caused deployment but the question remains.

Those bales are not small and weigh around 750kg/1650lbs each.

There was a chicane before entering Molecomb that was removed the day before. Can't help but notice the excessive amount of sand on the course. With ABS there won't be much in the way of deceleration unfortunately.

Must say I'm astonished at those on here that class themselves as enthusiasts but don't know Goodwood or the festival of speed.
Seems if it doesn't happen in the US many have no clue about anything whatsoever.
Oh & stop comparing this event to some track day your ignorance is appalling.
This is a major international event that is broadcast live worldwide over several days where leading manufacturers & private owners celebrate some of the greatest performance cars & most famous race cars ever built.
It's kind of like the ultimate interactive motor show & fans travel from all over the world to be a part of it (at least they did before COVID).

Looked to me like the suspension was fully loaded under heavy braking.

No excuse for bad driving and a overweight excuse for a sports sedan. This is the kind of under-steer that could only make Audi engineers jealous.

Murcia!
I celebrate my American ignorance it's the only thing that keeps me sane.

Anyway I've been to Goodwood a couple times.
It's pretty amazing to see legendary drivers and cars up close and personal.
I'd love to go again but today it costs a large fortune and I only have a small one atm.

I dont understand why someone gets B8 ( not M8) and then goes for race!
B8 is a luxury car not a sport car like M-Car and thats the main concept of Alpina car!

Great to see so many expert race car drivers on this forum. If only BMW factory drivers read this forum they’d learn how to drive properly!

Wow, the airbag basically deploys an eye blink before the impact. Impressive technology that I will hopefully never use. Too bad about the car...
