    Glad you’re ok. Tough break. Back in the day I learned from couple Indy drivers: 1) drive thumbs up, not through the wheel; 2) as soon as you realize you’re a passenger, and no longer the driver, hands go to your thighs. Danny Ric can testify to the reasoning. 😉 good to see the only injury is pride and equipment. Keep having fun!

The following car wants to know your trajectory after full lock up - to attempt to avoid hitting you !

    I've only been in professional racing [BAJA500, BAJA1000, IMSA, WEC, Indycar, SX, MX] for 50 years but I believe you can learn to become much easier on your equipment.
    (I'm not blaming this structural fail on you, but I'm not not blaming this fail on you.)
    I think we can both agree you can tidy up those racing lines and when your racecar is absolutely committed to attacking an immobile object, recognize that as fast as you can, and get your hands off and away from the wheel and down on your thighs.
    Broken wrists take time to heal and weak wrists end careers.

      Back around 1984 I think it was, Allan Moffat here in Australia had a monumental "off" at the now defunct Surfers Paradise raceway (it was closed from 1988). It happened at the fastest part of the track - a high speed right hand sweeper. He clipped a lapped car on entry and careered into the banking off the track. He injured his wrists quite badly (I think a broken finger or two as well). After that, he was NEVER fast - ever again. He tried to claim he was fast, but he lost all his speed after that was merely someone who made up the (middle to rear) of fields thereafter (and even then in a superior car). Before that incident he was a consistent front runner.

    Treaded tires suck ass! They're unstable especially on negative cambered corners and if you lift i a corner they want to oversteer like hell. When I raced FF we would shave most of the tread off at some tire dealer for a larger contact patch. Finally, there were slicks and rain tires made for the class which were a big improvement.... also a larger expense. Good luck.

    I can't afford a high end simulator set up, let alone an actual race car....I play Gran Turismo with a logitech wheel and pedals with an old wood TV tray as the stand LOL! I get mad when I crash playing that, so I can't imagine how pissed I'd be in this situation....but comes with the territory I guess.

    The snap occurred as soon as you attempted the downshift without enough of a blip. Are you sure it wasn't that which caused the 1st snap of oversteer? In slow motion, the car snapped out as soon as the clutch was released without anywhere near enough of a blip (if any blip at all) then, only after that first initial violent snap, does the rear suspension visibly break in the mirror.
    It looks more like: poor downshift/blip -> violent snap #1 -> corrected violent snap #1 -> rear suspension breaks (right as there's a massive & sudden weight balance change from the 1st violent snap being corrected) -> violent snap # 2...

      I came to the same conclusion.
      I did the exact same thing lapping a Ginetta G20 @ Mantorp Park years ago, when you miss a downshift and you're used to braking with the engine braking, and you dont have an engaged downshift to rely on, it throws you off, and when you do manage to get it in gear, its not synced and you end up breaking traction.

      @@Spinelli__ IMHO, the car broke, gearbox moved, therefore no gears available. The driver instinctively tried to save an undriveable car. I saw it. I was there. I testified. Stewards did not believe me until they saw the toed-out LR tyre toed out in the video. That was prior to any contact with the tyre wall.

      @@peterearle I never said the LR tyre toe'd outwards due to contact with the tyre wall. It happened before the crash but after the initial loss of control. As mentioned in my first message, there was not nearly enough blip on the downshift, then, when the clutch was released, the rear snapped away due to not nearly enough of a rev-match (ie. blip). You can clearly hear when the clutch is pressed, when there isn't anywhere near enough of a throttle blip, and when the clutch is released which instantaneously causes the rear to do the first initial snap (which he did a great job of correcting) due to little-to-no throttle blip. As that initial slide was corrected, it corrected / re-griped very violently and that's when the left-rear collapsed - the moment the first slide snapped back to grip.

      @@Spinelli__ Almost time, with all due respect, to ask your racing history. There is nothing that a driver can do to cause a healthy link to break. The tyre just loses grip rather than transmitting any great amount of force to the suspension. And fast guys use the clutch only in the pit lane. It's a no-blip world. BTW, That car was made in 1977.
