this happened last week, the driver was OK, passenger has a broken arm
car is dead

 

Ouch, hard to tell but it looks like the back end kicked out on him.
Glad he's ok.

 

Chris I think he went to fast up the hill and got slightly airborne ,lost traction on landing and it was to late for him to go in to the right hand corner -just like weapons, cars like gt2 are not for everyone

Damn that must of hurt

 

That's a place you can get airborne and you must know what to do if/when that happens... I know the driver of this car:

 

I don't have any plans to drive on a track with my TT. Out of curiosity, what do you do if your car got airborne?

 

 

Shame... You should track it, just so you understand why a lot of things are the way they are in the Turbo.

But if you go airborne, land straight (don't turn the wheel in mid-air), once you've landed enough to where the suspension is done unloading (bouncing, but not really relevant to your car), apply brakes linearly until control is regained enough to steer.

The biggest thing is to land straight (no turn on steering wheel), and don't floor the brakes in mid-air, because they will lock and that will make for an eventful landing.

Who knew that rally experience would be useful on this forum? lol!

 

You are absolutely correct ,same law apply while driving trough snow or water
Many years ago my driving instructor was taking me to frozen ice field where I practice every day for two mounts how to control car under extreme conditions. I remember going back home after practice even in snow was like driving on dry asphalt .

 

My 2008 speed yellow GT2 just got rarer.

 

Well that sounds a lot more fun than rolling a GT2 at the 'Ring.

 

Wow ... they were flying. Glad to see the only injury was a broken arm, it could have been a lot worse.

 

I know. But there aren't any tracks close to me. The only 1 is over a hour away and is really used for motorcycles.

 

It's worth a trip. No matter how far. Not only can you enjoy the tour there and back, but it can be a life changing experience. The drive home from your first track event may be infinitely different than the drive there.

I drive a minimum of 2 hours for any track event.
