Great camera angle ! sorry to see the fire in the end though and hopefully damage is somewhat minimal, you were driving really well. Hope to watch more of your videos. BTW, engine/exhaust sounds awesome !!!
Lets take a minute before tearing the volunteer up...THINK FIRST! Guys were so eager to help they would forget to make sure there's nothing coming in after the first car.. .For example some of you would have run out thats great BUT By the looks of it that's an oil fire, What happens to the cars behind the one laying oil down? Hate seeing marshals catch shit.. They aren't paid and without them we would have no motorsports..
@@ConklinMotorsports I appreciate the benefit of the doubt here, but there were some breaks in protocol here. Someone had called in the fire and all stations had the double yellow steady out (all cars slowed, no racing) about 20 seconds before he stopped (5:00). Its possible that Race Control was not approving a response t, but the conditions were not going to get any safer than they already were and the danger was only going to grow as the fire was growing just a few feet from the workers. The manual states "handle the fire first" and that two workers respond with extinguishers if possible. Under no circumstances should the workers hand their fire extinguisher to the driver. If approaching the vehicle was not safe for them it isn't safe for the driver, and handing the driver the FE does not encourage them to get to safety. Where I will cut them some slack is: they're human. These incidents are not expected and it's not uncommon to freeze for your first incident or fire. The first time i worked a corner a Formula Ford came over a crest, made contact with another car, flipped a couple times, landed upside down, and caught fire. I was already running with the FE before I realized what was happening. I arrived at the car and froze for what felt like minutes. Luckily I didn't arrive alone and was snapped out of it in just a few seconds. Everyone except for the car was escaped unscathed.
Love that four wheel slide just before stopping. The fire started before you passed your buddy, so it didn't stop a great battle until after you'd won.
Absolutely thrilled watching this intense prototype racing video! 🏎️ The driver's daring overtakes had me on the edge of my seat. 🚦 Incredible skills showcased throughout. Even though the race ended in a crash, your performance was electrifying! 🌟 Thanks for the adrenaline rush - can't wait for the next one! 👏 #RacingPassion #OnboardAction
Dude! Have you ever watched car race? Like DTM, F1, PORSCHE CUP, WRC?! Or even nascar (although that is not really racing)... What are you talking about?
They are in an elevated stand behind and above the armor and the tire wall. We can't fly. Besides it's been a long time since we're were allowed to go trackside.
Great job parking the car right in front of a flag station. Hate to see this happen, but great driving! Hopefully not too much damage and you're back out running
@@sj_bakowski7934 They only blue flag back markers who are being lapped. This was a battle for position, they'll never wave a blue flag in that situation.
@@Scot_White Except it wasn't a battle for position. Two different classes. Position overall in the race group, yes, but that doesn't matter points-wise.
@@sj_bakowski7934 Blue flags in SCCA racing are informational, not mandatory as in other races, like F1. That said, the F3 (running in the Formula Atlantic class) driver should have been more attentive to what was in their mirrors, though in the end the P2 driver made a great inside pass into T4. Classic overtake there.
That was really good driving man. I’ve raced door slammers and formula cars, tons of fun both. Thank God you were ok. How fast do go on the straights?🏎
Looks like he touches 150 going down the back straight, just under that on the front. You can see it on his dash, upper right corner, right by the end of the tach.
Totally thought it said VR and I was like "nah this is real". Stayed until the end as it was great racing. Marshalls were useless though, leaving you to figure out how to remove the pin and put out the flames.
I've slowly been getting interested in racing (watching some, and a bit of sim racing), and this was an awesome video! I'm curious about the Marshals that just stood watching when made the emergency stop though. Is that normal? When I saw them just standing and watching I did think to myself "well if it was me, and I was not required to approach the burning car, I'd actually likely be increasing my distance from said car", but is that not a part of their responsibility?
From a previous comment a bit lower, it was an oil leak that caused the fire and also took out his braking system, so that is why he ended up crashing near the flag station. Looks like he was able to get engine braking to minimize the impact at the tire wall, but he needed the tire wall to stop him.
as someone that knows what there is to know about pushing a machine to it's limit on a track, I can officially certify a few of these corners as absolutely maxed out
how was the guy in 2nd place pulling away from you so easily on the straights? Even when you had better exits out of corners he just pulled away from you like there was a substantial horsepower difference..
The marshalls are PROHIBITED from getting out of their "area" - DEFINITELY NOT allowed to step onto the track.. or the area between their station and the track. Insurance Rules! Best they can do these days is... hand over the extinguisher as fast as possible and call it in on the comm system.
YES! Multiple reasons. LITIGIOUS SOCIETY + . 40 years ago, we had 8 or 9 workers at every station.. and we were all YOUNG. These days we are doing well to have TWO at each station - 1 for comms and 1 for FLAGGING. 40 years ago, we were YOUNG - today we are OLD. Average worker age is probably over 50 now. Average DRIVER age has moved from ~30 to ~45+ or so. We, drivers and workers, don't MOVE as well as we used to. Climbing over guard rails and three rows of stacked tires takes a LOT longer than it used to. and is more prone to injury. Workers have no protective equipment (like helmets and firesuits). In recent years, the TRACKS have started to hire their own Emergency Vehicles (EV) and crew - used to be provided by SCCA. The TRACKS (as well as SCCA) prohibit workers from going over the wall to provide aid. The tracks mostly refuse to dispatch EV until EVERY CAR ON THE TRACK is "under control" of a PACE CAR.. In years past when workers were allowed to 'respond' we had a few incidents where workers LOST THEIR LIVES.. or were SERIOUSLY injured as a result of being on the track - so... NOT ALLOWED any more. None of us HEAL as fast as we used to either. All are factors in the current landscape.
Engine failure, you can see flames in the mirror start at 4:32. Must have been dumping oil because the rear gets a bit twitchy through the lap, then his brakes fail and he ends up in the tire wall
@@ghnl1961 interesting your organization has that restriction, I've volunteered as a corner worker several times but we were allowed to go all the way to the car, who would you hand over the extinguisher to besides the driver and what if he or she is injured or unable to move quickly ? Corner workers would also in general do a better job than the driver, provided you've had proper training of course.
Corner worker's job is to inform other drivers and race control. Going over the fence, away from their post does not help that. Safety crew will come for the car. Unless there is an. unconscious driver on fire, you are not going to see corner workers over the fence until tasked to do this by race control. Great reaction by the driver in this case, and great reaction by the corner worker to hand off the bottle. Hopefully the damage was not too severe, that fire looked pretty big in the mirror.
@@JohnUftring I knew it was a formula car but wasn’t sure what type cause there wasn’t many shots of it from the side but you can definitely tell it’s of a different class than the one being used that’s why it’s so much faster looks like it was a multi class race.
@@dbzcollector9963 It was definitely a multi-class race. I just looked up the results for Saturday's and Sunday's race (where Lucian didn't finish due to the fire), and the car with the halo that Lucian worked hard to pass seems to be a Ligier F3 or Ligier JSF3 and is classed as a Formula Atlantic (FA). The race group was comprised of P1, P2, FA, FC, FE2, and FX (formula Mazda in this case).
Boy, those corner workers need a boost in their work ethics. What do they think they are there for, to look good in their white suits with all those cool patches? This just reinforces the Fact that you can't judge a worker by the uniform they wear.
A lot of times they aren’t allowed to assist on track due to the danger. They’re specifically flagging only. That’s what the safety workers are for presuming this series has them
is that what america have to offer on racing tracks? god bless uncle "bly" then. marhsall not even prepared for it. well that is the aMerican way FOR SURE. GOD BLESS uncle ruth too.

I've done many 2 wheel bike trackdays at VIR. Must admit the breaking distance is super short WOW ! Top speed looks about the same I wonder ?
Why didn’t they hand you the extinguisher ready to go?? You shouldn’t have had to do that yourself. Great driving…sorry about the car

Very good driving, but i think they scould make this track more colorful the grass is ro dark there
These Assetto Corsa post processing filters got very realistic these days
Do these cars not have onboard fire suppression systems. Could have extinguished the car a lot more quickly.
What's that knob you turned?
Great racing btw . I like yr style
probably brake balance. Could also be roll bar stiffness but I dont think many cars even have that anymore
EJECT! EJECT! EJECT!

was it rubber build up ?... the engine didnt sound like it lost power .. but then again i couldn't feel it ..

Very sad. In assetto corsa fortunately the car never catches fire.
The hit was necessary?
dam it wasnt even his fault, I thought it was gonna be a legit crash. His engine blew!
Did something break when you entered that turn at the top of the hill? I looked like you got off a little.
