Ive done it, but i hit a tree 1st. they're fine, ive not know one to flip on hard cornering!
lol if your worried that you think you will "flip" (roll) your clio at the ring, I wouldn't bother going if i were you. if you seriously consider that, then make sure you put a cage in it. Db level is 105 at the ring and they will test you if its stupidly loud, But to be honest I doubt apart from a subwoofer, a Zetec S has enough HP to be loud enough to break 105. Dont rev it like a tit in the que to get on or in the car park and you'll be ok. There only a few places where there is enough grass, or gravel to roll your car at the ring, Your more likely to roll it after hitting another car or the barrier etc etc.
You can prevent it by driving within your limits, and not driving like a tit. But if its going to happen its going to happen, you amount of skill or luck will save you. Theres plenty of high kerbs at the ring, sideways into anyone of those could roll the car, same if it digs in on the grass/gravel/into barrier etc etc etc.
Drive your car likes its on a normal road, and dont take risks, and you'll be fine. Oh and go very very steady until you know your way around.

Sir you are a legend.
Tit. You should listen to him. Honestly.

That, Tom, is an excellent suggestion.
Go somewhere local and practice driving on a race track first. Go to a couple of track days. Then go to the 'Ring.

No one covers the ring these days, unless you fork out a small fortune for cover especially, hence the reason Jon and myself run complete sheds there, so you dont lose everything if you prang it. Its also worth noting for Fangio here that should you have an accident, you will have to pay there and then, for armco, closure, recovery, marshall time, and in his case one of these
Should another car be involved and you be at fault, lets say you rear end a lamborghini gallardo that is in the right hand lane (its still a two lane road) Then if the police say your at fault, you'll be made to pay that also, outside your insurance.
"sort it out with my insurance" "i'll send you a cheque" Do you do direct debit and 3 years 0% finance" dont wash with the guys in the office, You pay or bite a pillow on D wing, so make sure your credit card has enough limit to cover it.

It would do with those posh tyres. They must be worth more than the car?

The chances of you rolling the thing are pretty remote. Hitting armco hard should be more of a concern.
As for the physics, well it surely doesn't take that much brainpower to realise that lots of sideways momentum will contribute...i.e sliding.
Keep it going forwards is my bit of advice.

Yeah, if its starts to roll, you're fucked.
ffs does nobody understand english! was wondering how much force was put on certain parts of the car before a flip i.e suspension components, tyres and chassis that stuff not sir fuckin isaac newton of holland just havin a rant because he doesnt understand a question!

read the thread and listen to weeman, he's giving you all the info you need, there are no exact physics to rolling a car as there are too may variables and factors which contribute to it
