All part of racing and the risk. Everyone OK. Brilliant content, Amazing memories and huge life experience. Thank you for taking us along and don't beat yourself up at all. You're doing awesome things and Japan is pretty much the ultimate. Well done Dan 👏🏻

[@thev.i.c7844]

No way he should have gone for that move 😭 gutted.. think your going to kick ass in this series an all 👍

[@markdenyer8072]

As Senna would say " if you don't go for a gap then you're no longer a racing driver". But on a damp track, three wide on the first lap.. was definitely a risk I would avoid.

[@DavyR33]

The steering wheel thing... definitely a habit from drifting. As you said, It's the easiest way to load on opposite lock when it's your only saviour from over rotation in a RWD. FWD and 4WD don't need nearly half as much counter steer, because the driving wheels are pulling you along at the same time. When you let go of the wheel, the driving force AND the direction of travel multiply and send you off into the weeds before you can grab the wheel to correct. All in learning mate, and getting lumped into a real life Gran Turismo with 2 hours sleep, in the wet, in an unfamiliar car, don't feel bad about it. You did a great job that weekend and I hope there's more to come from the travelling racing driver. Big ups 👍🏻

[@dannyDC2]

Yes, reactions are simply reactions. Brain wired to let go when feel the rear go super light. Not ideal!

Tis a shame it ended as it did, but still fantastic content mate. Japan looks like a right blast!

i think this shows, once again, Mr. Schillwesta is quite a Talent. he goes to Japan, enters a race on a track he never drove, in a car he didnt know and he scored p5 against loads of people who have driven the track for years. someone must give him a contract or something in the future.

Really sorry about what happened Dan - don't blame yourself or look too deep into it. It was a racing incident... we all know three into one will always be skittles. Japan is a great place... spent half my life in Shinagawa - I remember when I went there first in 1990 people had bought full Group A cars - Skyline R31, Hondas, AE86s etc... for the road - sub-zero cool. Enjoy your time there and next time I'm sure it'll be better... you had a fine turn of speed though in qually.

[@jono4123]

Looks like an unfortunate incident. Letting go of the wheel definitely didn’t help, it lead to an Initial over correction, but looking at it, even without that I still think there would have been some contact with the outside lad. Racing for you! Loving the Japan content 👍

[@chadbenjamin8118]

Thanks for the content Danny!!

[@alexwilliams765]

I dono if this comment has been made before but I believe all EK9's had 5 studs (including the race base) however a lot of cars that are raced get swapped to 4 stud as wheels are more accessible (from the EG and EK4's) that may be why yours has 4 studs! :)

[@dannyDC2]

I was wondering about this too, but a forum post indicated that some early race bases came with 4 stud.

[@LLbrker]

You’ve got the talent to win 🏆 one of these races .

[@Vittinable]

Never been a fan of letting go of the wheel. Yes you can counter faster but you loose track of where the wheels are pointing until you regain traction and then you spear into whatever direction your wheels ended up pointing (in this case, the outside car). I dont think you are responsible here, that inside bomb sealed your fate, but better control of the car would have allowed you to not hit the outside car as hard (you probably would still hit, but you might have both stayed on track).

[@allysonsquires8421]

Ahh the universal I got knocked up the arse sign,,, used it many a time😂🤘 unlucky fella for lack of rest you did amazing!

Be interesting to hear more about the licence requirements, the equipment, the costs and so on for the rental.

[@Kypcia]

Absolute envy having such an experience. Do you know if they have more opportunities for renting race cars in one make race?

[@patricks9401]

About your letting go to counter, I don't think it could be saved from crashing, if you notice your angle, your not even pointing straight yet (Countering) and have all ready hit the guy, hands on or off you would need to be at that angle in order to stop the car from spinning out, so what I'm saying is we really cant tell if hands off was the way to go as that was crashing even with hands on.

[@Marcturbo1]

It is what it is, he could have waited, you could of given more room but its just one of those things mate. As long as you are okay.

[@Thomas_2615]

Megga stuff this Danny keep it up❤

[@stinkbra]

Definitely not one to feel guilty about Stallone. Old mate knowingly creating a 3 wide on a wet track during a hard braking zone with minimal space to start with.

[@captainsvlog]

Love it, racing incident that was, car on the inside would also know you had nowhere to go and that you were about to turn in, no power steering with loads of camber is absolute twat of a thing to try and correct oversteer in a civic, and had there not been a car on the outside for you to collide with, likelihood is, that you would have saved it. Just a very unfortunate incident. Pace was mega though considering the time you had to learn the circuit/car combo along with the weather. Chins up, go again lad :)

[@Curi0u50ne]

That awful last corner it’s like turning sharply into a narrow gate, stay as far out possible before the turn, you mastered it! Gran Turismo life!🔰😅

[@Arnelski]

Someone sent it up the inside and clipped you. Very little you could do imo. Hard when you are sandwiched ‘ double denim ‘ 😂😂

[@kingy217]

Japan, Jet lag, B16, new track, mildly moist. Shit luck, great video. Was awesome to watch the lap times dropping. Drying track or learning the circuit/car and pushing the braking deeper?

[@Jims_racing]

Sometimes you need the ol’ flick on the wheel, its all on instinct right, and thats what your brain told you to do in the moment. Dont think you did anything wrong at all, dont be too hard on yourself 👌🏼👍🏼

[@WATTSM17]

How do things work when a rental racecar is crashed does the rental cost cover any accidents?

[@BagofRust]

Dan always hold the steering wheel on a front wheel drive car. You could of gained some traction back if you had kept your steering wheel in the same position and carried on round that corner with the back o/s wheel wanting to come out at the back but you would of pulled it around as you were going into a right hand bend. Because you let go the car straightened, into the other car, knocked you both off track.

[@dannyDC2]

Hindsight lovely. Not sure id have got anywhere by holding the steering wheel straight when I got hit from the inside though 😂

[@BagofRust]

@@dannyDC2 read it correctly Dan. you were turning into the corner. If you held that line by NOT letting go of the steering wheel. You would of pulled it around and gained traction the car will only turn the way of the steering wheel. You let go of the steering wheel whilst in a corner..... The car straightned into the outside car Hind sight........don't let go of the steering wheel in a corner.

I don't think there was anything you could've done to avoid the guy on the outside, Dan. Who knows, just my opinion. Sorry things went down that way. Looked like you had a chance of a really good finish.

[@findtherightbeat]

What's the suspension setup on the EK9?

[@jvd_rx]

Great video. I not really understand why you let your wheel go when the incident happened, like you wanted to initiated a drift with a RWD car. that why it turned completly to the left and you went off. If you just kept the wheel and holded some throttle, i think it would had been fine, at least not thing ping-pong way. As seens from the competitior, the touch wasnt that bad to be honest, it was more of a tap that should had more initiated in oversteer, but as your steer countersteered completly (because you not was holding it) it immediately wanted left to go in the gravel. There was a car already, so that was actually helping you not to go alone off maybe sideways and rolled the car. Also I think you kept the door open on the inside, because on the straight you kept the car straigt, but the track gots a few extra meters asphalt on the right.

[@AndyLangleyRacing]

Shame about the race, but what an awesome experience! Guy on the inside was waaay too optimistic imo...

[@PabloConcrete]

No Bueno Danisan!

[@csp6]

That's hard luck honestly, but a great qualifying - on an unknown track in the wet against very experienced other drivers is no mean feat! To me the track widens on the inside half way along the straight and it seemed you kept straight and the car behind used that extra width on the approach - you'd have had to jink a fair bit right to take that space and the car on the outside would have had more of a chance. I'd put that more on the car making it 3 wide given he really needed to keep ultra tight on the apex and he didn't. He wasn't even along-side for most of the braking zone and was the only one who could see it'd be 3 wide if he went for the gap so I'd say that's on him. Better luck in the next one 🤞

[@JesseStreeter]

yeah he was penalised for that, and looks to have started a tradition of a "champagne shower" for anyone that gets a penalty LOL
