"It looked like a test drive gone wrong and they had clearly come around the roundabout to head towards Silverstone and applied too much power whilst trying to pull away from a silver Omega which was having none of it.

Maybe the oil leak from said silver Omega caused the road to be a little slippy in places ::) :D

All that about your insurance company and theyve given you a Ferrari as a courtesy conservatory?

How! That incident is clear driver error. Nothing to do with the car.

Why am I looking at the photo and thinking that isn't the A43, and certainly not the BP roundabout (the only one between Brackley and Silverstone).

Besides, grip levels on that roundabout should be excellent, with several millimetres of Dunlop's best being laid regularly when the 'tards at BP "forget" to order fuel.

As suspected, not signs of bent lamp posts between the Buckingham Road roundabout and Towcester, including Silverstone (in between the 2).

So I think some poetic licence in the reporting...
