Just looked as if he got slightly 'offline' on the dusty side of the track, simply 'lost it' and it dug in and rolled when it got to the gravel trap. As you say, he was close to the TVR but there was no indication or evidence of any contact. Deciding on the red flag and deploying the rescue and medical cover was then the extent of my involvement.
