The Cortina makes a very obvious and quite (for 120mph) acute move to it's right. just before the mini skids and veers left off track etc. Which is why I don't think its an accident. If it's a racing incident, then, in my humble opinion, its an illegal one for a non contact sport.

I don't personally know any of those involved and have never driven the circuit but it appears to me that the Cortina would have been moving quite a bit quicker than the Minis at that point and JO's move to the right would have been to pass the Minis before Woodcote or at least be on their right in the braking area. I can't see that he would have deliberately nudged the Mini at that point as the obvious result for himself was exactly as we could see - JO departing rapidly off the other side of the track.
