My guess was right. He does have some frame damage, but looks like he is still fixing it.

Watching YouTube videos and found this one which looks to be Barry going off the track again. I'm guessing this was a different time judging from the video upload date or something like that


7:16 is where I recognized his car. Can't tell in relation if that is close to where he really took the hit up against the wall later on.

Yeah, that is him. He posted a video of it. It was damp/wet and he was struggling for grip. Some of it was probably because his tires were worn out (my guess). That is a decreasing radius turn so one has to be thinking two steps ahead on what lies ahead and his racing line was off at the time he entered the turn. Once the turn suddenly got very tight halfway, he tried to turn in hard, but there was no more front end grip left.
