Seems these understeer a fair bit too...Brits trying too hard.
From the chasing Clio.
-
Poor guy! Gutted!
-
White S3, followed by a White Clit, then a white Rocco.
Big bills for the S3. :confused:
-
Poor guy! Gutted!
That S3 didnt handle that bend at all. Is that the same bend as the famous Vauxhall vxr killer bend aswell?
Gutted for its owner too.
-
Its almost like a forgot to turn in, he wasn't going that fast either considering the speed the clio was catching him. I always tuned in alot earlier on that bend to allow it to drift out on the power.
And of all the places to cream in, its right in front of the crowds.
Same bend as the VXR, although i reckon the VXR was going faster...although that said his tyres were squeeling like a good un
-
Pretty clear from the Clio footage that he didn't (or couldn't) turn in....
That would've been a grim trip home, plus there'd be bills for the repair and from the track!!! :sad:
-
Are you sure the S3 was a Brit?
-
Either the driver hirt his feet hense when he hobbled out the car, or somehow the passanger was hirt more ??
Dont think its a brit either.
-
Looks like a costly day out for someone.
I wonder if he was 'unsighted' coming into the bend by the shade of the trees.
-
Don't think much to those s3 brakes :signLOL:
-
Poor guy, that was a heavy hit! Sore one. Ran out of talent under pressure from the pepe.
-
Quite sure his tyres wasn't up for the job. I believe i ran faster in that corner and just tasted the grabble with the left tyres, he has no grip at all, and he's quattro. Tyres is all i'm saying. Gutted for him :sad1:
-
My guess is he spotted the clio in his mirrors, then looked back at the track ahead, realised he hadn't braked yet for the bend or turned, did both at the same time equalling fail. :driver:
-
Oh the shame of being overtaken by a small renault :ashamed:

Just my thought:
"Damn frogeatercar, he won't overtake me" Followed by " Scheisse" and "Auw" :grin:

id bet thats not to far off the truth as well
-
What an inconsiderate driver, he gets out checks the car first then lets his passenger who was clearly injured out. :fighting:
-
100% a Brit car. Looks like he simply missed the turn in by possibly being distracted and got onto the filthy outside of the track with no grip.
My guess the passenger stuffed his ankle by trying to press the non-existant brake pedal, the shock through the bulkhead into his leg on impact doing the damage.
I might be wrong, but watching from the Clio there seems to be a bit of a shimmy before turn in, almost like he was attempting a Finnish flick to drift for the crowds??
-
It's horrible when you push someone into a mistake, was clearly trying to get away from a better driver, worst thing you can do at that place.
-
Looks horrendous and the kind of thing that scares me off going track racing. :scared:
-
It makes me feel sick seeing that impact, I've only been on the track once in one of my Subaru's, and would love to try the ring, but I really could not afford a mistake :(
I do feel for the guy and his poor car.
-

but thats easy, stay within your limits, dont race people, and if you see someone coming up, just let them past. Far to many guys dont like letting cars past on the ring
-
Could it have also been going from bright sunshine to shadow that threw him aswell? He seems just plough straight forward! : :stupid:
