If you get the tail out on the Karussell then you will be into the armco.
Not true - although likely. I managed (read - got it wrong) to get the end of my MR2 out round there - scraped the underside of the splitter on the inside kerb

Yes I agree that it's a bad idea to get the back out at Karussell for reasons of crashing! - but the point I'm trying to get at is that(I guess) the stress on the car(e.g. suspension and drivetrain) of going sideways on a v bumpy road is similar in effect to mildly kerbing the car - which obviously is a bad idea. Am I right or wrong?

Driving hard down a UK back road is like constantly mildly kerbing a car.
A bumpy track corner is far smoother.
If you're seriously worried about suspension wear rates, take a train.
This car was built to be driven hard.
Oh, and expect to have to feather the RWS through the Karrussel, otherwise it will be the S2000 that is the roundabout, not the corner!
From that pic (and from driving round that corner in GT4) it seems fairly obvious that in order to stop your undercarriage getting torn off you should avoid straddling the ground and the slope like this driver is. Doing that at speed it a surefire way to have the car taken home on a flatbed.
