Can anyone be this clueless on a track?
This guy wipes out on a track doing a corner and I was expecting some sick, twisty/tricky piece of tarmac but it's just a reg wide-sweeping turn. Apparently, what happened was the guy had a lead foot and just kept pressing the gas and ignoring all the squealing noises. When he started to slip, he (yup, guess what) did the cardinal, typical sin of lifting off and ofc now it's game over.
ON TOP of that, I read he's like a track noob AND turned off his ESC AND doesn't have track insurance. He supposedly has winter driving exp but I guess he must've crashed his way through that season all the time because he didn't learn anything. You almost NEVER lift, that's just a stupid panic move unless you intentionally want your tail to come out. Luckily, only his car was affected but still, wth... Who makes these kind of ppl? SMH.

When I was still rolling with the Touge group I have seen my share of dumbasses
The one that stood out was a newish red 350Z at Dunnville (was about 2006), dude had more roid than brains, and spun out about 3 4 times in about an hour, two of us tried to have him slow it down by taking him around in our own cars and he never did. Tried so desperate to impress the girl he was with. They look to be straight out of Jersey Shore On our way back to Toronto, we saw him broken down on the side… Young me thought of stopping and picking up the girl. Ah well

Yeah it's very possible - just saw a vid today of someone in a M2 doing as described (sounds like possibly you're referencing this?)...
Lotta people chirping about how bad of a driver he is and yah, I'm not absolving his decision making but I bet most NPCs in the comments section would sh*t their pants just like the driver did and freeze up. Fixing "oh sh*t" oversteer moments at speed is a learned behavior. Feel bad this driver had to learn this lesson like this, never good to see.

Car was going right before the apex so possibly a slight reduction in throttle and little counter steer would have settled the car. This is all conjecture tho, I'm just going off sights and sounds.

Wow that is odd, especially in a miata which you think would not spit one off like that due to a lack of power. He has heavy understeer most of the way but when he lays on the gas it still looks like understeer then SNAP .... weird.

(owned 2 of them, spun my NB turbo at turn 1 at shanny trying to lift on turn in and full throttle through, then my NC mostly stock at the infield hairpin at Cayuga, trying to catch a V8 NA MX5 that was running in the 1.20s when I was at 1.24)

In this age of information, I'm still surprised some ppl still lift. When I ran into black ice or enter a corner too hot in snow and the car starts going crazy, swerving, I always keep my throttle constant and steer the heck out of danger. It's like instinct. Lifting is just asking for trouble.

I don’t get it…is this the first time you’ve seen a video of a car crashing at the track? Was this during a track day you attended where this person was a danger to others which you’re trying to bring attention to?
Just trying to figure out what’s so special about this incident specifically. |

I guess I'm always amazed at the bravado/ego/overconfidence of these ppl who don't know how to conduct themselves, it's incredulous.
