There was a little bump at the exit of that corner. It seems like that caused the rear wheels to lose grip in that acceleration phase. I read comments about the driver is ok, I really hope so and it looks like he got away with a scare. That's not granted with so many trees around. Definitely tricky conditions, no real safety zone and a beast of a car. Glad nothing too bad happened.
He went off the throttle, so the weight shifted to the front (less grip on the rear tires), while the g-forces were pulling the car to the left, he then reapplied too much throttle too quickly (for the wet conditions), which gave the rear tires the final impulse needed to lose traction and kick the rear out. Plus there was a little bump, which indeed added to losing traction at the rear. Think of it as the cherry on top.
@@max.racing The thing is, it wasn’t fast - on the contrary. The driver was just too hard on the accelerator when exiting this specific corner and didn’t even let go of it after starting to spin.
I have always thought these hill climbs, run right in the midst of large trees, poles, rock walls, etc....are simple insanity. I'm surprised they continue. Glad the driver was OK.
@ChristopherH *you're. And yet it didn't. Yes, the joke was funny, and based on your reaction it sounds like you were hoping the driver was injured. That's disgusting.
@ChristopherH Yes, and they didn't get seriously injured. Your point is completely meaningless, leaving the inescapable conclusion that you wished they had been so that you actually did have a point. Get off your high horse and move on.
I’m glad some people drive well in wet conditions, but it will never be like driving in the dry conditions. I’ve raced a lot and never enjoyed the wet. Good going though before the spin. God bless you
That mid corner bump did him in. Unsettled the car and the back came around to meet the front in a hurry. Anyone with limited experience at this particular course could end up in the same situation.
@@buzzbuzzard3809 That's a factor of course, but you can hear the car go over a bump, that momentary loss of traction from the rear getting light is all it took. Really shows just how fine the margins are when you're on the limit. Unless you know that bump was there, this would catch out even the best of drivers.
Not entirely his fault, he just didn’t know the course well enough to know that bump was there. He may have made the turn had he not hit that bump in the road that caused more revs. Glad he’s ok though
Looks exactly like every other Radical driver I've seen on track (and that is quite a few). Its nothing like a road car (production or race modified), and I'm impressed if you have the ability to assess grip pressure just from looking - you genuinely have a super power there, one you can make money from.
@@andyowens5494 Look at his shoulders... It's not because you can't see the difference that they don't exist... Muscular contraction in his shoulders is blocking all the feedback informations that the wheel is giving about the grip on track, and it's exactly why he did'nt correct overacceleration on time... He is inexperenced, that's all. Conditions were hard and he is clearly very scared in this run
@@tom-serin You can barely see his shoulders, let alone make any assessment of his state of mind or "muscular" anything.

Sheesh! He’s lucky the trees didn’t break his neck. Kept the throttle mashed even after it let go. Dude best brush up on his skills before he attempts that again on the wettest line of the road. Edit : I was scared for him before the crash.
Staying on the throttle is a better option than pitching the car forward by lifting off the accelerator. If you've ever driven a proper car before you would know that
@@siniyden it's common sense really mate. if the balance of the car shifts forward there is less grip on the back wheels and you're more likely to spin further around

I watched and watched over and over till I see where the rear wheel leaves the ground, comes back on, skids then the slide. It's madness that you were brave enough to take that corner at speed in the rain. You should put a lottery ticket on. You are so lucky to be alive.
I generally agree with you. The thing is, if he let go on the accelerator in the moment he realised going sideways with the opposite lock on, chances are pretty high that he would immediately experienced a snappy tank slap in the other direction with possibly worse outcome than what actually happened. The idea drives me crazy as well: sometimes it is better not to react and correct than trying to correct due to high chance of OVER-correcting. Especially with these kind of mid engined, light weight machines.
Full-on throttle when the rear started to go on its way? Gotta be his first time in any car... Even locked up wheels would do more good, at least you can reduce the impact speed by trying to countersteer while you're sliding, and thus reduce the damage.

Yeah I mean when the back end steps out and you keep your foot planted to the floor as well as not counter steering, you can only ever expect a face full of tree. Honest criticism aside it was good to see he was ok.
@@abeidiot with any rear wheel drive car if the rear starts to step out through giving too much power, you gently lift off the throttle and counter steer as much as needed without then throwing the car into a slide in the opposite direction
That shows you how quick things can unravel in motorsports, one second you're fine driving on the road and next thing you know you are backwards going into a tree, crazy stuff
On approach to the corner the road looked dryer on the left, the apex, his actual line was pretty wet and very suddenly came into view. High risk! Wow scary.
Dude stayed on the throttle all the way through that counter-steer. I’m not sure if there was a mechanical failure but that was a bit too aggressive in the wet. (Understatement) Glad he’s alright.🙏

Ye. It was the bump. Not the speed. Also not the wet conditions.
the throttle application was the main thing. watch when he goes from 80% to 100% throttle. it's completely related.

Why would you give full throttle when the rear loses traction? Is this a solid way of regaining traction? Feels counter intuitive.
That guard rails look so safe to drive open roof cars 🙊
What caused the crash though? was it loss of friction because of a puddle ? The road did look wet on that part and I think the back slide out...

Why did he stay on the gas?

it overdrives, the wheel spins too much, slips
