Looks like you had seen the Mini and reacted, the o/s went onto the grass, causing the traction system to engage, when you got back onto the track there must have been a bit of excessive torque through the o/s wheels which you could see by your steering input to counter against that torque vector. Personally I'd blame the Mini driver 😂
Clearly looks, him was pushing to hard. Knowing is a daily driven car, probably was better not to push to hard and get some cadwell track experience on it. I been on the evening track day day 8 in Cadwell with my pepper white mini cooper. I had lots of fun and I did drive back home because I didn't wanted go too hard.
At least he went on track and drove that car the best he can. Many people buy cool cars and are only good at accelerating on straights. Now he will process his mistakes, learn some more theory, and become a better driver.
I think you could really benefit from some tuition - Don’t be put off doing trackdays or offended, but getting some tuition will make you smoother, faster, will let you have more fun and be at less of a risk of this happening again.
Yes there are always those who judge but who are not confident enough to share their own mishaps but i for one loved the content, passion and honesty. Hats off to you for having the balls to be who you are
The Bradford joke tickled me Hopefully the car will be sorted soon enough to so you can get back behind the wheel doing what you enjoy. Having good and bad days is apart of life
A bit of nerd info for you.... A 1 dB change in a sound equates to about a 26% difference in sound energy (remember that a 3 dB difference is a doubling of energy levels). In terms of subjective loudness, a 1 dB change yields just over a 7% change. A 3 dB change yields a 100% increase in sound energy and just over a 23% increase in loudness. It's the reason I took the AR1's off of my car.
Firstly glad youre alright Lee, any crash you can walk away from is a result. Without sounding too cynical and this comes from a respectful place but why focus on doing all these mods, chasing more bhp etc.. when youre clearly struggling to drive the car within its abilities in standard form? Just seems abit daft 🫤 seats/harness and a neck brace would have been more sensible. These cars are so capable in standard form, get used to that power, learn how to shift properly and learn the cars characteristics to the point where you know every inch of it and can anticipate its behavior when pushed . Anyone can map a car turn the traction off and go fast..but when you run out of skill then then big bhp means nowt. Glad you walked away from it in one piece but dial it back mate and get the basics down 💪❤
Track days seem like such fun until you're in the barrier. Glad you're ok and 🙏🏿 the car can be fixed quickly and fully without cutting into the budget for jackets. 😉
I always remember my first race lesson takeaway. Less is more - less steering inputs, less jerking on off power / brakes - everything. I’d recommend a few lessons - you’ll enjoy it more and be safer to all around you, especially you! For the wider audience, I’d also recommend a private session for the first time you turn all the TC / stability stuff off!
knocking in the front end in the location you mentioned is caused by the plastic tray under window. Also if you have any steering grinding issue toyota lubricated the spline shafts and fixed the issue.
seeing how you were driving (over the limit, no car control), not surprised to see how it ended... if you want to push limits on track buy a used race car with proper safety systems.
Looked like he was all over the track and didn't dial it back in, just kept pushing and driving beyond ability, was lucky he didn't crash into anyone else
@@MrFlavio83if you think the problem was just the grass you have 0 idea, he didn’t even anticipate it nor did he counter steer fast enough just sailed into the barrier like it was a day out
Cadwell is not forgiving, very common place for that to happen, run wide onto grass open steering so it’s pointing as straight as possible down hill any lock combine with grass your a gonna. Little tip always dab the brake in the goose neck between the right left transition it will squat the car down and give stability
You should have started a rebuild episode 🎉and I’m sure the channel would have blown up even faster than it already is. Il definitely be up for watching that ❤
I’m sorry you had the accident. Semi slicks are great with higher limits, but the breakaway at the limit is much more snappy needing anticipation and quicker reactions. Less grippy tyres sometimes better in a nimble car. I also have a GR. AT LEAST YOU ARE OK!
Glad your fine Lee - - it happens to the best, thanks for posting the video and an honest assessment personally I'm not convinced by them tyres - - car appeared to be sliding before the crash, and remember to get back on the horse and the track straight after a fall. Best of luck
Absolute Kudos champ for hanging it all out there for the world to see - takes balls💪 great to watch, you’ll come back better and plenty of us are learning from your experiences and vids. Out of curiosity can you run harnesses with the stock seats?
Sorry to learn of your accident but at least you’re ok. I ran AR1 all last year. Went through 22 of them. A good tyre but very noisy and only reasonable on track in the wet. Just had two sets of the new Bridgestone Potenza Race. They are another level and much quieter. Price wise about the same too. Sadly my i30n and driving style at the ring eats up the outer edges so I went back to AR1 last weekend. They are much harder and accommodating for wear but less grip and much noisier. . If you’re predominantly using it on the road the Bridgestone are great and you’ll love it on track. They are probably not far off an AO52 and good value.
To be honest, I’d rather see you crash at that speed on a track unlike the idiots driving at them speeds on public roads and crashing. Consider yourself lucky to be walking away in one piece
Cadwell is a technical track. If you're going to turn off stability control and driver aids for the first time for god sake do it at somewhere flat like Bedford.
That interior footage is wild, it’s fortunate that you weren’t seriously hurt… There is a school of thought that says running a harness is dangerous because a crushed roof could lead to serious neck injuries, but then you see this footage and can’t help but think it would be safer to be strapped in to the seat.
@@evilgtlee I run a harness in my cars but I'm under no illusion that they are just as dangerous sometimes. As they pin you into the seat, if you hit an immovable object at speed like here, all that force and momentum that chucked you out of the seat is acting only on your head and neck and depending on the impact/speed can be deadly.
Brilliant vid lee the upgrades were coming along nicely 😊 shame about the crash😢 as long as you are ok, cars can be fixed, looking forward to the next vid 😊
The man from Bradford say yes 😀😀 looking forward to the repair video, defo think a bucket seat and some harnesses would be a good investment , but another great video from the Evil gt channel
No control over the car. You should have tested it more before you go to a track day. Lerning process, hope the cwr and you are soon ready for more action but please be careful..
Ah shit mate, happens to the best of us. Your usual pragmatic self shining through in the video. Is what it is and it’s only a car, so can be repaired 👍🏼
Bloody shame about the car Lee and I hope you're alright. I used to race motorbikes and we always said if you're not crashing you're not trying, so kudos for pushing the thing to its limit.
before an accident, it is necessary to throw the steering wheel and pedals... stretch the regular seat belts before leaving the track! do not lose heart, and think about racing belts and seats!
Enjoyed the last vid, this one not so much. Not nice to see cars getting crashed but at least it wasn’t the gt3. Glad you’re ok. Adding more grip and power only means you are going faster when it goes wrong. Just think that a pro driver would lap faster in the standard car. Better to spend money on safety and improving your skills. Keep the vids coming 👍
Good advice from me: get a pc and a mid priced sim rig and a decent game like assetto corsa. Not gran turismo or something like that. Especially drifting different types of cars (fwd,rwd,awd) in the simulation will give you so much understanding about how the physics of the car work and teach you reacting to these kind of situations. Thats the way i learned racing before getting myself a yaris. In your situation as soon as you had touched the grass and as you had noticed the car starts spinning the right thing would have been to put the accelerator to the floor and steer in the direction where you want to go. As with awd cars the front wheels pull you into the direction where the tyres are headed under acceleration
Loss of traction due to redlining / drop off in acceleration = sudden drop off in grip levels. This is then followed by a lack of reverse lock correction (which may have saved the skid, but also could have resulted in pendulum slide back the other way). So either a fraction less speed in that gear or a short shift before the corner and use the torque instead. That's my 2p, at least. Obviously a very technical corner to get right! Good luck with the car.
Reminds me of a local Pro-AM driver I know. His Audi R8 LMS is always being repaired for something because the driver lacks RESTRAINT. Has lots of money though so I guess they can afford to 😅
Looks like the ESC was coming in as you went through the corner when you crashed, which probably pushed you wide leading to your rear right wheel being on either the grass or the less grippy kerb and then sending you into the wall. If you're in track mode, you need to hold down the Traction Control button long enough to turn off Expert in the digital display. Then all the nannies are off. Hope you get your car back into working order mate.
If the red Mini wasn't there you would probably have powered out of that. You were sliding a bit and I think you hit the brakes before you were straight again. Hope it's fixed soon so you're back at it soon!
For someone who is knocking on a bit you certainly like the toys. Don’t let this put you off but if I could offer any advice it would be this. When the car is fixed you definitely need better seats and 100% a harness to keep you in place should you have another excursion. Cadwell is no Joke Lee. then maybe swallow your pride and invest in track day tuition which I’m told is worth it. Everyone I know who’s done it has learned a lot and recommended it. Lastly I reckon every track day at Cadwell sees a crash at the goose neck. Yours was a calamity though. The change in direction then there’s a wicked lip and dip combined with lift off over steer and jumping on the brakes was tragic. Get tuition and you will see they teach you to look much further ahead for instance. You clearly didn’t see how fast you were catching the Mini. I suspect you were looking at the Speedo maybe too? Anyway good luck with the Bradford boys innit
Track insurance is 100% worth it even if you back your own talents. I recently had to claim on mine after two other cars nearly collided, went spinning and one took me out! Very annoying but you only cover yourself on track regardless of fault. I paid £130 insurance for the day with Moris and they paid out in 2 weeks from submitting the claim. £8k paid out and free to use any garage, new or old parts and they paid out with no quibble less my excess. Definitely worth it should the worst unfortunately happen. Luckily my car can be saved and it's all covered.
Good shout on the ohlins (assume road and track). Have them on my mk4 mx5. Dont be tight, get a second set of wheels, semi slicks on the road, like an ar-1, asking for trouble and as you have found out hard and noisy. Sorry about the smash :( Edit: just watched your previous vid, you still have the old wheels, stock them on for the road I say. If you add harnesses next, add a hans device as well
So sorry this happened to you buddy. I hope you'll get a harness fitted? Now, on the subject of Ohlin's.. I love em, but in the past their packaging sucked!! I bought them for my GT86's back in the day and the trouble i had with damage was a joke. Whereas KW come in a box with corrugated stiffeners keeping everything separate, the Ohlin's came in a box with foam bags that allowed the shocks to hit each other and cause damage.. it was a nightmare. I hope they've changed.
Happens to the best too, hope you keep the vids coming and seems harnesses and Hanns device maybe should be added to the shopping list and possibly a cage as it seems you’re really enjoying this car and track day’s more than any expensive super car. ✊😆
bro is driving like he's a time attack champion, trying to hit the limits of grip, when he doesn't have the basics down and he's just hitting his limits 💀
You should watch a couple of recent videos from REPerormance as he talks about tracks days and spends a bit of time talking about tires, he highly recommends sticking with road tires and not slicks as you need completely different suspension geometry to make the slicks actually work otherwise you go backwards from road tires. I get the feeling you would have caught that with road tires and not had the accident as there’s no doubt those slicks weren’t in their optimal operating temps
Yeah I was thinking the same. The semis are good but I’m not sure any better than the road tyres 🤷🏻♂️ Ove gone for cup 2’s now so let’s see what they are like
I crashed my mx5 on the Nurburging 3 weeks ago, not a fun experience but I learned from it. Was a combination of problems. Tracks was colder then what I was used to, suspension was shit and I was pushing hard because it was going very well. Made a grave mistake on my part there but it's should all be fixable but man does it suck. O just can't wait to drive it again on the Nurburging, not finishing the lap just sucks.
I’ve never crashed on the ring but from what I’ve heard it can be expensive not just for the car to be fixed but all the other track repairs etc. main thing is though you can walk away, everything else is fixable 🙏
Interesting you mention the pain you felt during the impact, this is exactly why the more recent crash tests have an offset test to try and mitigate the transfer of force into the vehicle. Yes I am boring, sorry. Really hope you are OK and hope the car is sorted.
Mine conti sc7 looks exactly the same after 1000km and 50km on a track (very small and technical). I will be trying to get the warranty action on them because either there is a major problem with quality control or conti is just lying in their marketing materials. No other tire is degrading that fast. You cant call it UUHP tire if they are melting faster then smoking winter tires in 20C temp on track
Looks like you had seen the Mini and reacted, the o/s went onto the grass, causing the traction system to engage, when you got back onto the track there must have been a bit of excessive torque through the o/s wheels which you could see by your steering input to counter against that torque vector. Personally I'd blame the Mini driver 😂
Sounds like a great excuse to me 🙌😂
It can not be them rings never
which traction system when it was all turned off?
Agree, the mini brake way earlier than it should’ve
Pinning the single comment that says it’s not your fault… lol
You found YOUR limit. Not the one of the car. Glad you are fine.
several times at that!
You ran out of skill there mate. You're all over the track, no control.

HE NEEDS A 6 WHEELER BRABUS OR A TESLA HOPEFULLY ITLL DRIVE BETTER FOR HIM 😅😅😅😅😅
Yeah he definitely pushed over his own limits…

Yes, semi-slicks often do more harm than good for inexperienced drivers, especially on SWB cars. Fast road tires are the way while learning.

Cadwell is a technical track. If you're going to turn off stability control and driver aids for the first time for god sake do it at somewhere flat like Bedford.
On the plus side you've got really good at these RUclips videos. Hope you get car sorted soon and back out on track.

the answer lies in the seating position.

Thanks 🙏
Hope you're well mate, that was a decent impact.
Maybe invest in some recaros, half cage or full cage with some harnesses and hans device?
You should watch a couple of recent videos from REPerormance as he talks about tracks days and spends a bit of time talking about tires, he highly recommends sticking with road tires and not slicks as you need completely different suspension geometry to make the slicks actually work otherwise you go backwards from road tires. I get the feeling you would have caught that with road tires and not had the accident as there’s no doubt those slicks weren’t in their optimal operating temps
Yeah I was thinking the same. The semis are good but I’m not sure any better than the road tyres 🤷🏻♂️ Ove gone for cup 2’s now so let’s see what they are like
Sad to say but if it wasn’t mapped probably wouldn’t of happened hope you get it sorted out soon
You seem as good at track day racing as you do drifting on retail parks in rs focus
😂
Gutted! Hope you get it sorted quickly and get back on the horse (track).
High performance car low performance driver 😂
Only joking, good honest video. Keep going but as said some tuition will help you 👍
You’re not wrong 😂
Takes me back to the days of the GTR. Nicely edited and good video, pleased you survived the impact. Subscribed for more Bratford content :-)
Nasty impact! OILLLLL ON THE ROADDDD!!!

I crashed my mx5 on the Nurburging 3 weeks ago, not a fun experience but I learned from it. Was a combination of problems. Tracks was colder then what I was used to, suspension was shit and I was pushing hard because it was going very well. Made a grave mistake on my part there but it's should all be fixable but man does it suck. O just can't wait to drive it again on the Nurburging, not finishing the lap just sucks.
I’ve never crashed on the ring but from what I’ve heard it can be expensive not just for the car to be fixed but all the other track repairs etc. main thing is though you can walk away, everything else is fixable 🙏
@@evilgtlee still waiting for the bill, sucks to have to wait to long to find out what it's all gonna cost😬
Never keen on cadwell been a few times and never get it right
Not surprised you had an off
Yeah it doesn’t suit my reckless driving either 😂
Interesting you mention the pain you felt during the impact, this is exactly why the more recent crash tests have an offset test to try and mitigate the transfer of force into the vehicle.
Yes I am boring, sorry.
Really hope you are OK and hope the car is sorted.
The physical pain was much greater than the financial 😳
@@evilgtlee Oh that is interesting! Are you OK now?
@@TeamAtterz Yeah I’m ok now. Had some pretty bad internal pain for a week or two, neck pain too, but that’s it and all ok now
Might be worth getting some track time with an instructor made all the difference to the way I drive on track days 😊
Mine conti sc7 looks exactly the same after 1000km and 50km on a track (very small and technical). I will be trying to get the warranty action on them because either there is a major problem with quality control or conti is just lying in their marketing materials. No other tire is degrading that fast. You cant call it UUHP tire if they are melting faster then smoking winter tires in 20C temp on track
You need to de tune it Lee, not add more power mate 👍
It’s 100hp now 😂
Seen a few people do this. Rear wheel touches grass and spits you across
You had your first warning when you went off into the grass but chose to ignore it and kept pushing.

If I was going to push too hard cadwell is not the place to do it 😮 madness
