Except that it wasn’t G-loading that caused the tail-plane failure - it was aerodynamic load. You can see it - it turns onto a knife-edge manoeuvre and applies left rudder to bring the nose up then the tail breaks off and the whole thing disintegrates. It was simply too much load on the tail for the design - which…

Sadly he didn’t bother having a car with proper crash structure or cage either, which could have saved his life. Helmet did nothing anyway it seems.

Um, did anyone notice the left rear corner is looking very toasted - it has suffered a fire. Given there is no exhaust there (it is central) it looks like something else (oil cooler or electrical?) may have gone up - if that started before the impact, it might be the cause of the accident.

Agreed. The Miata that crashed had left a massive line on the inside of the RH and perhaps was spooked by the M3? Or was trying to cut wider for a better run through the next LH of the Esses. Either way, he cut back very severely and the camera car was there.

Actually - Loeb’s PP T16 was based on the old Peugeot LMP1 car so its not too far off.
