It’s ok to increase gas early but not that much.

Great day turned into not such a good day! Even the best driver can make a mistake, looks like too much throttle on corner exit, and not enough correction as the wheel speed increased when it was hitting powerband throwing you for a spin even faster.

Wow. this was some truly horrible driving. stop making excuses for not heel and toe'ing. you're at the track. u should be heel and toe'ing. period. downshift revmatching at the LEAST. it's so easy to. don't blame it on your 'auto revmatch not being enabled' lmao wtf. uh, you're supposed to know how to heel and toe/downshift revmatch by the time you're driving on track as a given. otherwise, u disrupt the suspension/chassis balance by just letting the clutch out with no blip to revmatch and the synchros sucking up all the revs disrupting the whole suspension balance as the car lurches and gets unsettled accordingly. it had an impact on your driving throughout this entire video, as u wasted more time slowly letting the clutch out and burning it as it sucked up the revs while slowing to corners and EVEN MID CORNERS, which is a HUGE no no. smfh. also your driiving hand positioning screams novice, with your ha nd shuffling in corners and hand placement. The crash was ZERO surprise. none whatsoever. ofcourse, if you don't even know the concept of proper hand positioning nor revmatching, ofcourse u wouldnt understand how to handle sudden power oversteer lawl. how can one own such a high power car, but be so novice of a driver. smh.

did you release the clutch in the corner?

The crash happens in the last 10 seconds of the video.

At first I said man your missing the apex, late shifting, and just not really racing hard. Then I saw your explanation and makes sense. Best be safe looks like to me you hit the part of the corner with some tire pebbles and lost traction right when you gave it some gas. Glad it wasn't serious damage. Keep at it and can't wait to see more.

Sunova..

I see a lot of explanation related to the hardware but I would suggest that you start from first principles and do some rides with a good instructor. I see time and again folks start to play around with the car itself when they really need to work on themselves before anything else. But at least you’re out there using the car! Don’t get discouraged.

You spun to the inside, the car could make a tighter turn than necessary. Looked like an oil spin. Tire pressure is what you chose AFTER taking pyrometer readings.

There is a lots of good advise to Mr. Glassmaker here. I hope you take it. Your lap times are; 1:46; 1:34; 1:39; 1:38; 1:30 and then when you finally got a clear lap with no traffic 1:27 At one point Cars and fishing mentioned getting an instructor to help you out and that is the best advise. Your car is capable of below 1:20 lap times but you need to adjust you line in many places and become a master of toe & heeling. I'll help if you ask or just ask the fastest guy when you are there at a track. The fast run group will have people running consistent 1:17s, 1:18s and 1:19s.

I screamed as if it were my car when you went to wreck. I have a yellow z06 as well.

thanks posting video of track. very helpful for ppl coming to track. sorry about your car/wreck. glad you are ok brother.

A bit ham-fisted throughout. You are shifting too much. With the torque from that V8, you don't need to shift all the time. And you are not rev matching when you do shift. Heel and toe plus finese with the throttle should improve your laptimes and save the car and tires.

That sucks buddy. Did you ever get her fixed?

The audio from 1:15 to 12:20 is better than any rock and roll song.

Your hands moved pretty quick to counter the skid but I guess it was too late. I did something similar in my C5 but mine was a low speed corner and I trail braked which brought the bit around and I spun out. I fortunately didn’t leave the track though. That is a nasty cam btw, sounds great!

Unless you actually race on the track, dont judge. This isnt gran turismo.

I had a z06 that I pretty much did the same thing at turn 1. In my case and possibly yours too. Throttle induced oversteer.

Nice C5 man with a cam! What tires were you running? How did you mount the camera? I'm planning on going this season and getting things together this winter..

Your foot was still on clutch going into the corner. You left off of clutch trying to power out mid corner but broke loose to tires. You need to really learn how to heel and toe. You disrupted the car letting off clutch. You should have gotten a person to drive with you before even attempting this honestly.

Really need to practice heal/toe downshifts... I can hear the rears screaming for life when you jam it into 2nd and just let the clutch out without matching the revs. This has got to be aggravating your rear tire temps and upsetting the chassis.

Going throttle on while the wheel was still turned is the culprit. If you're still putting in steering input and you feel the need to add throttle, that means you've over slowed through the corner. Trick is to carry enough speed through the corner so you don't need throttle in the corner then hit full throttle at track out when the wheel is straight. When you went throttle on, you asked too much of the rear tires, the front tires still had grip so around you went. Of course over inflated tires doesn't help either. At least you're out there!

Man i remember you, you were parked next to me. Glad your fine

Looks like you just got on the gas too hard too early. Glad it wasn't too bad!

looks like your tires were hot, the squirming is a common sign the tires are getting greasy. Glad you walked away (or drove away). Planning to fix the car?
