Trackday Off/Oops Thread

[NorthloopCup]

I love the little 'hoo hoo hoo' at the end! Proper lol moment and excellent save because that could've gone very wrong!

 

[loggyboy]

My Father in law had abetter one in my 172 at brands

I must say I was very lucky when I look back at some of those I wasnt kicked off completely. But conditions were so hard!

 

[Bear Head]

Got overconfident in the wet/lifted off when it was stupid to

That was a brilliant catch!

 

[Djw John]

That was a brilliant catch!

Cheers mate, nothing like the thought of "if I crash this how am I getting to work" to make you keep it on the black stuff!

Memorable and fun moments and not so fun:
Spin at Chris Curve chasing down a yellow Evo @ 1:30
Wheel coming off @ 2:08
Another spin at Chris Curve @ 6:35
Lift off oversteer @ 7:55

 

[adamlstr]

8:55 into Clearways at Brands, freezing cold/damp off-line, I put two wheels on the salty/slippery bit. Doesn't look like much in the vid. :tongueclosed:

See if you had normal feet those could have been avoided

 

[Stay Puft]

At Bedford on Saturday I very nearly hit the tyre wall on the final corner, no idea how!

I would have been able to update my findings if @Scrooge hadn't have gotten a bit carried away.

Haha it's because I copied it straight from Youtube description box.

I crested Eau Rouge at just over 110mph and was the second car in these pics , there was coolant on the track and as i crested (as its blind) i reacted to the small amount of smoke i noticed .............

Alas the honda behind me did not spot the marshall flagging ................... Honda driver was fine ,green caterham driver sustained broken ribs , and that is why you stay in your car with belts done up .unless there is fire.

Had a few close calls on the same corner through the day... that was by far the worst, bending the cross brace and killing the wideband sensor lol

That crack you hear was the cause of the damage to the cross brace I assume? Certainly sounded a harsh impact though!!

Yeah, pushed the cross brace up against the sump (which would have gone if the brace wasnt been there).. think the overall impact killed the sensor

Very lucky there then mate!

 

[SWL16]

Well here's my first... and a costly one too!



A wet and very slippery Donington with Traction Control off. Got the line wrong through Craner Curves and lifted off. Big mistake!!!

Apart from being full of gravel, the car seemed find afterwards. Cleared it out and took it for a drive, shaking/braking to remove gravel, then later on, out of nowhere the timing went at about 6000rpm. A bit of gravel had got up inside the cambelt cover.

Crash @ 4mins 5secs

 

[JamesBryan]

Yeah, it takes a good hour at least to make sure all the gravel is out.

Unlucky though mate.

 

[Mr Burns]

Unlucky!

Funny how I knew where the crash would be before clicking on the video lol. My mates were there that day too... Blue Forester STI and gold MX-5.

I did a track day on my bike in conditions like that, in fact they were worse. Back straight was flooded. On supercorsas which are the closest you can buy to slicks for the road.

Spinning up in 5th. Hairy as f**k.

No idea why I went out in it lol

A slippery day out at snetterton...

 

[imprezaworks]

Good save and oops ref the s2000 lol

 

[Niall]

One courtesy of @Brett at Donny. This is why you don't go out on track with next to no fuel; little fuel+long fast bend=this (fuel surge).

That corner is a good one!
I know that silver M3 @40 seconds, proper quick!

 

[Iain C]

Ive had one off at graham hill at brands. Heavy rain , I got cocky and ran onto the inside painted curb. Ended up backwards down the grass.
Also had a v6 255 sideways at the same corner. I'd like to say I ment to do it but no. I was told it looked good tho.

 

[Christopher]

Some gold in here. 😂
