You'll see my lack of talent. the car is alright, even if it did hit the grass at 95mph. it's cracked the M/S bumper and ripped a M/S skirt off.

 

Bummer that there was no sound.

 

I have the video on the helmet cam but i still need to cut and edit it. that has sound. i'll upload it soon as its finished

Screen shot.

 

Yeaaa! I was going to say what happened to the helmet cam footage.

 

 

I hear you were peaking redline right before you spun.

Cool video, always better with sound and the helmet cam view I think came out pretty rad.

 

Your doing it wrong. Is it me or is Japfest kind of offensive?

 

Thanks for sharing the videos brah.

 

Maybe I'm a noob, but how the hell did he spin out? I keep watching it - and I have no idea how I would correct that situation other then a different entry/exit.

 

His steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car. That will do it every time.

 

 

I think he caught the grass going through the s and lost traction on the back right tire, but I'm probably totally wrong.

 

I think its mainly down to the line i took. i should have gone more wide to start with but i was following the car in front but i also think the tyres didn't help. there Maxxis MZa1's pretty pooh if i'm honest.

i didn't catch the grass or the curb.

 

Didnt look like the car gave you much warning on that one, glad it was only minor damage! Looked like fun anyway!

 

Link to the action for those that want to analyze:

I'm sure you had fun though!

 

that sucks, bot its just cosmetic an not engine thats all that matters

 

It was pretty bumpy right before you lost it which didn't help. But yes, it looked like too tight of a line and too much steering angle coupled with too much throttle. You probably could have caught it if your reaction time was quicker but you'll figure that out with time. Even if you did hit the grass it shouldn't have mattered. The other side of the car was loaded up. Clipping corners and using the grass is sometimes the best line.

If you have traction control, keep it on. There is no sense in losing your car over it. If you're smooth you should still be able to be fast while not having the traction control interfere unless you do something stupid. It would have saved you here. Once you gain some more awareness of what you're doing and acquire some skill you can turn it off but i just dont think its worth it when you're learning.

 

notice how the pavement changed colors in that corner.
