Several warnings. You're turning the wheel through the initial understeer. Possibly a lift-off induced oversteer, to put the final nail in. Well done for putting this out there and your honesty. Easy to say now, but tuition with a lower powered car, on a smaller track, is something we should have all done first.

This hurt my feelings. I have a 4C for 7 years already and drive it on the ring a lot of times. It is extremely dangerous, because the 4C is a difficult car to drive fast at such a track. On a GP track it is way more easy. Of course I could say a lot about steering wheel grip, the way corners are being taken, etc. but everybody needs to learn sometimes. You took the hard lesson and thats sad. I hope you can enjoy a great car soon again.

I find it absolutely insane that people take their car on the most difficult and dangerous race track in the world, without having practiced it in a sim for a few hundred laps first. It's so cheap compared to just a minor incident, and when you get there you will be prepared enough to not be surprised by how sharp a corner is etc. I have been there myself with an i30N, but I had done probably a thousand laps on it in iRacing before I went there, and I basically knew every inch of it. It translated really well. I still started extremely carefully, and I knew where the scary places were, and which corners I was most likely to mess up and had extra respect for those.

Huge respect for putting this video out!! That must have been hard. And I can't imagine the bill afterwards. I think everything has been said already, but having a fast car isn't the same as driving it fast around a track, 100x especially on the Nordschleife. To be fast you need to drive the racing lines! Anything else will ruin your laptimes but also upset your car. That's what happened here. I've driven it hundreds of laps on the Sim (AC) and know it from heart but driving it for real in a sub optimal car surrounded by "mad men" is very overwhelming or even downright scary if you don't want to crash. This is not a game, there's no reset button. I wish there was. Good luck to you sir.

There is no shame in crashing and owning your mistakes. I’ve worked for Alfa as an Instructor and drove the 4C on many occasions. The car is beautiful on the outside, but the suspension setup and the driving characteristics are, to at least, „The beats and the beauty“. While doing that job, I was offered to drive modified version with harder front springs, slightly stiffer ARB, which made a huge difference. Not to say, I nearly crashed one myself with the European CMO on the passanger seat, because the snap oversteer is very hard to manage if you’re not aware of it. Glad you recovered from the crash and there are hopefully no longterm consequences of that. Greetings from a fellow Berliner 😉

@SpeedsterIGАй бұрын
I can feel this. Had an Opel Speedster Turbo for 11 years, in the end with nearly 400 PS. Much earlier, after only some months of ownership, I visited the Nordschleife with some friends and with the Speedster. It was a wet, foggy autumn day. Soggy and wet, track partially had leaves on the tarmac, not good conditions at all. But I was there and this was the only moment I was able to drive the Nordschleife at least one time in my life (I live in Berlin, too, so also very far off from GH). And so I did. Ticket was some 17 Euros back in the days, bought one, jumped into the car and drove. At Hocheichen, the last right-hand corner before the straight to Flugplatz, I nearly lost the rear end. After that, it was a very slow lap, some 14 minutes in total. There is a photograph showing me at the Brünnchen entry with my left elbow on the left door window sill. You get the point. What a shame for the beautiful 4C. I love these kind of cars. For me the early Lotus Elises, the 4C and the Alpine 110S are the essential driver cars. Now, 57 years old, I still miss the times with my mid-engine lightweight sports car. My current fun car being a TT RS Mk.3 I still get a weird itch in the back every time I see 110S driving around. These are proper driving cars and I feel a strong connection to those who know.

No judgement here, just an observation. Most of your close calls are symptomatic: you want to be fast so you brake late and end up getting out slowly of the curve (or out of the track). I guess this is what most people do when trying to know a race track and improve lap time. It's always more efficent (and cost saving 😬) to do the opposite: enter slowly and try to optimise the exit. However, you were brave to send it on the ring, this is a very intimidating race track!
@grigorioschristodoulou52294 ай бұрын
sorry mate, but that was tough to watch. Accelerating mid-Adenauer like that means you should have watched more videos or done more laps on the sim, it's one of the first things you learn, to wait wait wait and stay wide until the tightest part. Also your arms and hands looked too stiff. I know it has non-assisted steering, but I've driven an Exige V6 and you shouldn't have to hold it for dear life. Also 9 and 3 are better hand positions, give you better feeling and range of motion (see Casey Putsch video "Why the Corvette C8 steering wheel is idiotic garbage and what it should be"). But very glad you´re ok!

Respectfully disagree RE. the steering. The geometry of these cars (particularly the lack of castor) mean that the car is constantly trying to follow cambers.

3:56 ok, you entered the corner too fast, but you are in the middle of the track, all the wheels slip slightly, you press the brake and the rear end starts to rotate,.....you've already passed more than half a turn, you should have survived the rest, instead of the brake, you should have given a little gas so that all the wheels continue to slip equally and probably would have come to the left edge of the track without turning the car. this can be practiced on a go-kart when entering a corner quickly: too much gas and you will fly off the track in parallel, too little gas will cause the back end to go away, the correct amount of gas will cause the car to skid gently with all wheels to the edge of the track. the brake works exclusively in the way that it transfers inertia to the front wheels, and the gas acts in both directions, by applying the gas, the inertia is transferred to the rear wheels, by taking away the gas, to the front wheels, by precisely dosing the gas, the right slip balance can be achieved

I know others talk about hand position on the steering wheel, but that's a real problem, just watching you change gear with your little finger was fun, but technically that hand position is just wrong, you have less control of the car because you have less precision and range of motion, also looking at the trajectories of the car in the video says that you don't have enough experience on the nurburgring, next time try to go slower learn the track watch some videos of the nurburgring before completely sending your 100k euro car, if you had your hands in the right position, maybe you still had the 4c now.

All cars with esp and abs should have a lock wheel button. Sometimes locked wheels are a good thing.

Very inexperienced driver which is the only thing to blame. Hopes he learns from his mistakes and stay committed to being a better driver.

Auww..I'm sorry for you, Stefan! Hope your knee will get better soon. It's a shame of such a beautiful car. I hope you did have an extra insurance for track driving. It's easy for everybody here to say you did something wrong. The best helmsmen work on shore!

Good video as an ex 4C owner I am bummed watching this. Happy you did not suffer permanent damage. Sad end for an epic automobile, but you know if you damage the "tub" the car is scrapped.😮💨

So many red flags here but one brilliant bit of advice I had from friends before I went first time, is go home with at least one lap still loaded on your ticket. Your “last lap before I go home” could have been your “first lap of your second season” - always quit while you are ahead, re-watch the videos, reflect when you are back home.

It's sad, but it's ever the" one last lap".

This is a perfect example why you should invest in a force-feedback steering wheel and practice in a simulation before setting foot in a real race track.
