3rd gear entry to corkscrew and that line was pretty crazy, a learning experience. Kinda surprised they dont have a tirewall there but Im guessing inner impacts are rare.
@@Battle_Garage nah, this is actually a pretty common scenario. Just what happens if you underestimate the compression effect of landing at corkscrew. It's amplified if you jump down the "shortcut"
Ha thanks.. wish I wanted the sub a different way but here we are. I got a new NB and I’ll be back on track in the spring or so once I’ve brushed up on all the suggestions others have given me
Are you getting another NB? If you're not too invested in the platform, consider getting a gen 1 86/brz. It's a little more expensive but you can join us at 86Challenge. The front-heavy FR layout with long wheelbase makes the car a lot less snappy, we have ABS, track mode (which helps a lot with moments like this), and we use SX2 tires which are a lot more communicative and progressive at the limit. Lmk if you want to know more
You missed all the apexes with that understeering early turn-in thing you're doing. The way you drive is a crash looking for a place to happen. It was inevitable. Maybe brush up on performance driving techniques. At least you're ok.
And get rid of the lap timer. When I'm teaching lap times are not something to worry about, as there is always a visible improvement in speed over a day and that's all they need to see

@@dan1906 So your approach is that eliciting an argument is going to create constructive criticism in the hopes that the driver eventually bows down to your infinite wisdom? No reasonable person is going to engage in meaningful conversation that way especially when you haven't provided any credentials yourself. You can dish out however many buzzwords you want or make some sort of commentary of the younger generation, but giving objective advice does not require ruffling any feathers, nor does it require being nice for that matter. I acknowledge that he drove poorly, and that his hand gestures imply that was unaware of that, but every time there is a video like this there are multiple comments roasting the driver that dissuade them from engaging in conversation and from getting back on track - especially beginners. The success of the belief that people need to "man up" and take the criticism relies entirely on the receiver's personality and is not a scientific coaching technique.
@@ddrrFA5 Do you feel better? You're obviously very upset. Nothing like an angsty teenage rant to vent. While I'm sure the irony within your hypocrisy is lost on you, the humorous nature of all of this is comedy gold. I mean, you are actually serious, which is hilarious. This started this because YOU didn't like the wording used by me in the comments section, which had nothing to do with you. You were offended. You proceeded to insert yourself into the mix, then outline why I am wrong and that YOU have it all figured out. As long as YOU approve then it's acceptable, right? The world just needs to do it your way! This is very entertaining. Please continue.
Damn man , you need to slow down and get some driver training with an instructor. I could see it coming from the earlier corner entry and throttle control throughout the lap .
Hard turn; Off and on throttle ; massive weight shift ; cold day ; big speed ; Good you are safe , could have been much worse. Godspeed on journey forward from this. Hopefully you have a chin up.
Dang sorry to see this. I run a Spec Miata locally; if you'd like to make back some $ on the chassis and hardtop, please let me know so I can put it towards my spare NB parts. Thanks!
Glad you’re ok, you can get back on track again. Just try to focus on warming up your tires during the first out lap. I went into this run group and didn’t even finish a lap before this happened :(
Yep, like you said in the description, you were driving too over the limit, and not in a way that took into account that things could go very bad, very quickly, very suddenly. I'm happy you're safe, I hate it for your NB, but your safety is #1. End of the day though, you were turning in really too soon, and you had many close calls, not even just the one that did the car in. It's a learning experience this, a costly mistake, but one that didn't harm you. You gotta respect the track, and know the lines, because when one thing becomes unsettled or didn't go quite right, you'll end up in a bigger problem.
Need to slow tf down and learn the line before pushing on cold tires, not sure why you were turning in super early on every corner and mashing the throttle. Driving lessons are totally worth it

You are safe and unharmed. That is the main thing.

it's a 3rd gear turn in the NA/NB Miatas
anybody cool enough to post their Miata crash earns a sub! I have a NB-this was super interesting
Ha thanks.. wish I wanted the sub a different way but here we are. I got a new NB and I’ll be back on track in the spring or so once I’ve brushed up on all the suggestions others have given me
That sucks man! but glad you are okay. Also plenty of Miata’s out there to get you back in the drivers seat!
I felt that sigh at the end. The corkscrew is not forgiving.

abs and other assists kill the fun of track driving a slower car in my honest opinion
@ saving money and being able to drive home is also pretty fun 😆 it's all pay to play out here, man

Maybe don't be condescending to someone who just totaled their car. He's aware of what he did wrong.

Nothing like mashing the throttle when you're already going sideways to really make sure you make contact with the wall!
Interesting.. I remember doing what you did in i-Racing. I can not afford to race in real life, thanks for the video.
Glad you’re alright. Sucks about the car but this is certainly a learning experience.
Dang sorry to see this. I run a Spec Miata locally; if you'd like to make back some $ on the chassis and hardtop, please let me know so I can put it towards my spare NB parts. Thanks!
Friends don’t let friends early apex.
I butchered this corkscrew in GT7 enough that I usually eat a second off my times letting off more than needed in person.
