Thinking maybe something broke on his car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Looks like he couldn't turn.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) He did turn the wheels, but his front tires didn't bite. He came in too hot, turned in too early, tried to brake but that just unsettled the car even more. You can see the rear coming lose early in the vid when he realizes that he's too fast. It's all downhill from there ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Andy |

Oh I know what understeer is but this just doesn't look right. No tire noise, looks like he is slowing but not enough to unsettle his car. I think something broke or he did something weird.

That was certainly an unfortunate result.
There's nothing quite like understeer on cold slicks. I had an experience like this in my 914/6 track car. It seemed like whatever understeer I normally had (the car had an understeer setup when I first built it), it was MUCH worse when tires were cold. Luckily in my case there was only dirt and grass at track out, not a guardrail ... Scott |

I think he was talking on the phone or jerking off. I don't see any sign of braking and it sounds like he didn't get the right gear.

I think his brakes were gone. He had plenty of time from when he let off of the throttle until he hit the barrier to slow down a lot but he didn't.

QUOTE(Randal @ Mar 20 2009, 09:02 AM) One thing, in the video, that didn't fail was the guard rail. If it hadn't held up I shutter to think of the carnage. |
