Porsche & Radical crash at Silverstone track day...

Track day 25th March 2019 on the GP circuit, Radical came through Aintree to meet stationary crashed cars, jumped on brakes and collected the 911 following closely behind. Luckily drivers were all ok with just damage to the cars. Scary.

I mean...I don't take it to the extreme, but (a) that's how they know to let you pass, and (b) if you're in a momentum car turning faster laps, but get blasted on the straights, you can't really pass if you're lagging way behind.

First thing I noticed... the track was not marshalled, NO YELLOW FLAG, no corner workers. The first thing I was taught was always know where the corner workers are and be aware of them because they are your eyes for any kind of track conditions.

[@kclark0395]

There is usually minimal marshalling at track days. The intention is to have a safe environment to test your car and driving and not to race others, that's what club racing is for. I once heard a track instructor say you cannot win the track day, but you can sure lose.

[@2be1withU]

@@kclark0395 Understood. Of course it is not racing. But in the US, the clubs that I go with have corner workers because of blind corners, debris on the track surface, and even cars with mechanical problem that the corner workers can see. It only increase the safety factors on track. That's what we are paying for, in part. Edit. I forgot. And if you as a driver go off and there isn't a corner worker, who will notify the emergency crew. Flaggers, and corner workers are essential for a safe environment.

[@KaDuWin]

Looked like the Pirsche was being over zealous and not respecting the other cars enough. It was just going at it as if evveryone else was supposed to jump outta the way. Thats bad track etiquette in experience. Not something seen very often, definitely the Porsche's fault. In my opinion that was a rookie mistake that should not have been made by anyone with that level of track license.

[@anthonylineberry]

Perhaps he was following too closely, but it's not like anyone expects the car ahead of them to suddenly hit the brakes hard right after passing an apex.... Sometimes you have to follow people pretty close to setup a pass on the exit. I think this was just an unfortunately situation of the people ahead of the Radical spinning out and the radical couldn't do anything but hit the brakes. As a result the Porsche couldn't really do anything either.

[@KaDuWin]

@@anthonylineberry I know but I've seen guys at the track who push too hard and end up crashing. Realistically ifthe guy in Porsche was following too closely to the Radicalhe absolutely should've known the Radical was gonna stop far faster than his Porsche. Following that closely and with that lityke room for error with traffic, there was no way to effectively setup the car for the next turn or even do effective mid corner correction. At least thays what I see based on the angle of the video. Personally I think the Porsche pushed too hard at the wrong moment and should've had far better judgement. That radical has 3x the lateral grip, superior acceleration and stopping power, challenging him in such a tight proximity was absolutely bad judgement. In an open track I totally understand but I would never do that or recommend to any students that they do it either.

Porsche's fault. But why Radical slower? That should be a quicker car.

[@anthonylineberry]

How is it the Porsche's fault? The Radical slammed on it's brakes on the apex exit to avoid hitting other stationary cars that spun out just ahead of them. There was really nothing the Porsche could do at that point

[@jackshipway1503]

@@anthonylineberry aside from not being on the arse of the car ahead without any room for error in a situation where close following is completely unnecessary. There's no reward, only risk, if you're faster then pass on the straight; this person endangered themself and others pretending to be Lewis Hamilton when they, in fact, lack the ability to even look ahead in the direction they are travelling and avoid an accident that should've been incredibly easy to prevent.
