parthiban Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Looked like lift-off oversteer to me?....... Apparently there was two cars injured over the weekend but nothing more than panels. Thought lift off oversteer would provide more of a "snap" but the back end seemed to step out quite progressively there? Either way what do I know, was a sad end though........but as above glad it was just a bit of bent metal and nothing worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hms Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 The second off at the esses and went into the tyrewall at some speed. Not sure how he managed that apart from approaching the corner too fast. No kitty litter there, just grass, once you're on the grass become a passenger. Seemed to go in nearside rear corner first, which then turned the car to get the full side into the tyrewall and the bounced out. All of the top panels havd shifted to the opposite side, closing the panel gaps. The panel at the rear of the hood between the boot was rippled. Write off unfortunately. I think the driver got away with being seriously shaken. h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hms Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Right off, or Track dedicated car.... The car in the video had a right off, and is has more character as a consequence! The other car, (no video) is a write off. h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hms Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Little bit of video here of Finn, one of the Hornets co owners, on an instructional session, with a flying lap with the instructor (Bradley Ellis) afterwards. This is in the Gazmobile. http://www.planetmx5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4985 h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
