I can imagine they added a section to the driver safety briefing. "Now if you bust out of the race course, please do not cruise aimlessly around the surrounding area to try and get back. Put it in neutral or kill the engine and wait for the safety crew to get to you."

BlackMK4 posted:And that's why I hate tracks with very little runoff. That, and the whole killing motorcyclists thing. That particular corner at Sebring does have a relatively good runoff considering the age of the circuit. But it's a flat out approach leading into a nearly 90 degree turn. That's why there's two routes there.. there's the first tight turn you're supposed to take, then a second one you take when you gently caress up. The issue seems to be they never took into account brake failure, given where the property lines are they probably don't have space to expand it further.

His brakes were making death-rattle noises for at least two turns before they failed, and he was still firewall-deep into the throttle on that last straight. That video is a triumph of luck over skill or common sense.

I'm going to go ahead and guess you've never been on the track with a full race brake setup before? Every full race car I've ever driven had brakes that sounded like that.

Track brakes make noise, I refer to mine as the "dump truck brake package". As for the actual cause: quote:He said a wheel rubbed a hole in a front brake hose, a brand new one that had been installed over the winter.

People do weird things when they're in shock, which this dude might have been experiencing. I jumped a deer corpse with my car and then went up the street for a car wash to get all the guts off before I realized my car no longer had a front bumper and that I'd left the scene of the accident.

quote:"When we went to the hospital, the doctor was asking her questions, just questioning her memory. Like what's your name, your date of birth, where do you live? She knew everything like that. The accident was the only thing gone. Lost," she said. "Whoo. I tell you, I don't know. It's a miracle." Makes me think of fargo (the original).

I'm going to have the most AI Summer. I have an open invitation to drive the GF's dad's McLaren 650S on country roads and then I find out today he's ditching his "around the town" Escape for something a little more eco-friendly. A P90D. In red. With Ludicrous Speed Launch Control.

Fixed. 365 Nog Hogger posted:gently caress Dude in the RX-7 could NOT drift. I impressed that every. single. time. he got it sliding he either looped it, or hit the guard rail. And gently caress those sideshow idiots. How loving long does it take for a cop to show up when jackholes are blocking an entire intersection, for gently caress's sake? I'm mildly surprised someone didn't end up under one of the cars. fake edit: oh Jesus do not read the comments on that video. Raluek posted:Yeah I don't get why he didn't turn off the engine and let out the clutch once he was safely in the parking lot. That's exactly what I was thinking. I watching the whole thing thinking "where are you going?" that was fantastic. I loved that they strapped it down and got the blower out. And then it walked off the dyno and killed a man. Hey that thing hit almost a 1/4 HP!
