    You are safe and unharmed. That is the main thing.

    3rd gear entry to corkscrew and that line was pretty crazy, a learning experience. Kinda surprised they dont have a tirewall there but Im guessing inner impacts are rare.

      @@Battle_Garage nah, this is actually a pretty common scenario. Just what happens if you underestimate the compression effect of landing at corkscrew. It's amplified if you jump down the "shortcut"

      it's a 3rd gear turn in the NA/NB Miatas

      For me, in a simulator, that wall and me are very good friends. I can see taking my real car to Laguna Seca and the same happening, which would really bother me. Cheers and good luck.

    anybody cool enough to post their Miata crash earns a sub! I have a NB-this was super interesting

      Ha thanks.. wish I wanted the sub a different way but here we are. I got a new NB and I’ll be back on track in the spring or so once I’ve brushed up on all the suggestions others have given me

    Are you getting another NB? If you're not too invested in the platform, consider getting a gen 1 86/brz. It's a little more expensive but you can join us at 86Challenge. The front-heavy FR layout with long wheelbase makes the car a lot less snappy, we have ABS, track mode (which helps a lot with moments like this), and we use SX2 tires which are a lot more communicative and progressive at the limit. Lmk if you want to know more

      abs and other assists kill the fun of track driving a slower car in my honest opinion

      Hey man thanks for the suggestion! I see a ton of 86's at all of the events and looks like a really strong community / ecosystem. I actually have a test drive set up for the second gen this week to sus them out. Would love to stay in touch perhaps on IG I am much more active @ pegnofaster if u wanna have a deeper convo

    Hard turn; Off and on throttle ; massive weight shift ; cold day ; big speed ;
    Good you are safe , could have been much worse.
    Godspeed on journey forward from this.
    Hopefully you have a chin up.

    You missed all the apexes with that understeering early turn-in thing you're doing. The way you drive is a crash looking for a place to happen. It was inevitable. Maybe brush up on performance driving techniques. At least you're ok.

      Maybe don't be condescending to someone who just totaled their car. He's aware of what he did wrong.

      And get rid of the lap timer. When I'm teaching lap times are not something to worry about, as there is always a visible improvement in speed over a day and that's all they need to see

      @@ddrrFA5 He is not aware. That is how he met the barrier. I was being direct and truthful. It didn't warrant a post from the mean language police. Apparently, the sensitive snowflakes among us are easily butthurt and feel compelled to call for soft language and hand-holding.
      Maybe you could exercise less victim mentality, especially on the behalf of others, and offer more constructive criticism to actually help, or at least motivate our subject to improve.
      Full disclosure: I was hoping he would respond to possibly open some dialog. I find that ruffling some feathers often invokes a response. So far that hasn't happened. Instead, I got you, the reincarnation of my Kindergarten teacher.

      ​@@dan1906 So your approach is that eliciting an argument is going to create constructive criticism in the hopes that the driver eventually bows down to your infinite wisdom? No reasonable person is going to engage in meaningful conversation that way especially when you haven't provided any credentials yourself. You can dish out however many buzzwords you want or make some sort of commentary of the younger generation, but giving objective advice does not require ruffling any feathers, nor does it require being nice for that matter. I acknowledge that he drove poorly, and that his hand gestures imply that was unaware of that, but every time there is a video like this there are multiple comments roasting the driver that dissuade them from engaging in conversation and from getting back on track - especially beginners. The success of the belief that people need to "man up" and take the criticism relies entirely on the receiver's personality and is not a scientific coaching technique.

      @@ddrrFA5 Do you feel better? You're obviously very upset. Nothing like an angsty teenage rant to vent. While I'm sure the irony within your hypocrisy is lost on you, the humorous nature of all of this is comedy gold. I mean, you are actually serious, which is hilarious. This started this because YOU didn't like the wording used by me in the comments section, which had nothing to do with you. You were offended. You proceeded to insert yourself into the mix, then outline why I am wrong and that YOU have it all figured out. As long as YOU approve then it's acceptable, right? The world just needs to do it your way! This is very entertaining. Please continue.

    Damn man , you need to slow down and get some driver training with an instructor. I could see it coming from the earlier corner entry and throttle control throughout the lap .

    Nothing like mashing the throttle when you're already going sideways to really make sure you make contact with the wall!

  • @Stargun-vj1uh
    @Stargun-vj1uh 19 дней назад +1

    Yep, like you said in the description, you were driving too over the limit, and not in a way that took into account that things could go very bad, very quickly, very suddenly. I'm happy you're safe, I hate it for your NB, but your safety is #1. End of the day though, you were turning in really too soon, and you had many close calls, not even just the one that did the car in. It's a learning experience this, a costly mistake, but one that didn't harm you. You gotta respect the track, and know the lines, because when one thing becomes unsettled or didn't go quite right, you'll end up in a bigger problem.
