Sorry to see this, hope you get it sorted easily and the damage is just cosmetic.
Rolex they are savage cars mate and NEVER to be under estimated.Interestingly recently on the WIM forum Tony was using the S2000 as an example of a car with very poor dynamic balance leading to completely unexpected snap oversteer - never driven one but was interesting to hear someone who knows their stuff like Tony describe it like that.

And yet it has possibly the best 4 cylinder engine ever put into a road car.

Forced induction is a bit different. Horsepower per CC goes out the window a bit!

I like to thinks that car is like the Euro fighter. It was designed to be unstable and its the job of the driver to make it work.
Remeber this car uses the same wheel base length as the hachiroku and was designed to run the down hill. When the Drift King (keiichi tsuchiya) drove the car on the down hill run in the togue 200 class was massively impressed with is standard potential againist cars which had vast modifactions made to make them compete.

S2000's seem to be designed to protect the driver at the expense of the car, after seeing my mates one, I was absolutely astonished that he walked away from it. I could see con rods and bits of engine everywhere it was that kind of destruction! While it's a shame if the car is written off, at least you walked away unscathed.
