30 seconds: how has he not crashed yet 60 seconds: seriously how has he not crashed yet 90 seconds: my God, this man wants to crash but also won't let it happen Crash: not sure if feeling judgemental or impressed or both lol
Looks like you got the car setup real nice. Tons of grip but not too tight to understeer, but not too loose to be uncontrollable. I notice you are making fairly large and rapid steering corrections. When I was setting up my AMT camber plates trying to find the right settings for the camber and caster I wanted, I was having a hard time getting higher caster settings with the camber settings I wanted. The lower caster resulted in a looser steering feel and required more wheel turn with steering corrections and lots of back and forth trying to find the preload mid turn. Eventually I got caster high enough that that went away. Anyway, was fun watching you tear it up... you came in just a tad too sharp on that last one and the correction required looked like is unsettle the car and then that final chicane bump on exit was just enough to push traction over the limit.
Some positive criticism if I may. Please ignore this if this was done on purpose but your throttle control during turns is scary!! I have to commend the work you have done to the car to be so stocky and not letting loose earlier. The constant blobs of throttle midturn upset the balance of the car and I am astonished it didn't spin on the first turn!!! Wow! You do that kind of driving on an open wheeler and it will throw you on the gravel! Also your inputs are violent all around. Slow is smooth smooth is fast. This was choppy AF hence the spin and crash. AGAIN if this was a test and done on purpose more power to you. But in any other case please please consider working on your driving skills, especially with that much power!! Much love and wishing you many miles of fun!!
Nasty Corvette, sounds amazing! It looks from video/datalog like you are turn in is a bit too early/too slow as you adjusting quite a bit mid corner and quite aggressive on the exits (having to lift). Which is asking for a problem in my book :)
I'd recommend installing a servo with more resolution or switching to analog in the right leg that connects the ankle. But the steering wheel work was wonderful !
You can tell they are driving the car beyond their capabilities, slow down get it right at a slower speed. Bottoming this person should have been pulled off the course before this happened

Car needs stiffer rear arb so it actually will enter a corner and you don’t get that crazy entry understeer like what caused the crash. I’d play with your dampers to get some more turn in too.
Man, you got to work on your throttle control. You got to be smoother and the corner that you lost it on you were going way too fast. Otherwise nice video you’re definitely on the limit.
Like someone else said, post your times if you're going to armchair quarterback. Every car is set up differently and everyone's driving style is different. I personally love the oversteer-heavy style he's showing here - and he's obviously very quick.
The car was pushing out like crazy. He had the wheel turned left quite far, and he still got on the throttle about the same time the front tires got grip.
Much easier to learn in a lower HP car (miata). Imagine an egg between your foot and the throttle. Love the exhaust note! Thank you for sharing your unfortunate experience and glad it wasn't worse. 🙏
Lol all a Miata teaches you is to stand on the throttle. You can do it in the breaking zone and still be fine cause all you’ll be doing is 32 mph. There’s a lot of bad habits I see when a low hp drivers step up to something you can actually spin the tires in.
@@dondelchulia3189 If all you're doing in the breaking zones is 32 mph, then you're likely not learning much. :) Low HP cars teach you so much more because they're just that, low HP. Break modulation into the breaking zone, maximizing corner entry and exit speed, race craft, refinement of car control skills just to name a few. All of which also applies to high HP cars but so much more difficult to gain mastery of. It becomes very obvious when drivers have bitten off more than they can handle in high powered cars when they are no where near the car's limit and well beyond their driving skill.
Looking at your style of driving, I’m not surprised. An accident waiting to happen is what best describes your driving. Strongly recommend you spend some time with a professional instructor via a driver training course.
Hes actually going for it and not driving half assed like 90% of track footage laps on youtube, let the man live mr "im a sim racer i know better i drove a miata once"
@@Garf2O agreed. Car just has too much power for that track layout. First turn of the video and he was smart enough to keep the throttle in through the turn. Letting out would've 100% put him in the wall. Unfortunately next lap he came in much hotter and the tires just couldn't support the demand.
I actually applaud the OP on his driving grit. It takes balls to drive in that manner… but the praise ends there. Corner entry is fine, throttle control is a huge problem however. Try being smoother with your throttle application in corner exits - maintain a certain pressure instead of on/off/on/off in the mid sections. That’s upsetting the balance. Coming from a former C5 and C7 track rat 😉
Thanks, this was going to be a 1:46 lap:-( Next time. Mods are listed here: www.lsxmag.com/features/this-525-hp-c6-grand-sport-is-an-exceptionally-fast-track-toy/
There is/was something seriously wrong with this car and/or its tires. It drives like it is on ball bearings and in winter no less. Driver is good to keep it mostly in a straight line, but even his luck ran out
That is a good driving style. Drive it like you stole it. It is a Crash waiting to happen. Car setup looks great, driver looks like he wanted to create a crash video.
a 1:47 theoretical is a super fast lap time lmao, you can tell how well he was handling all 500hp of that car, you sir are the one that cannot drive if you cannot tell how skillful that driving was

90 seconds: my God, this man wants to crash but also won't let it happen
Crash: not sure if feeling judgemental or impressed or both lol
Damn, that was a screaming lap leading up! Glad you’re okay and it didn’t seem like a bad hit!
Pedal crusher, stabber, puncher, wacker. Probably has a worn out shoe sole from punching the throttle pedal so hard.
*stump on the throttle waaaay too early*
@@1DjFuzzion1 can’t say no to results tho 🤷🏻♀️🤟🏼🤟🏼
The number of times it came loose on the exits was just nuts. Nice.
I mean with a corvette, you can make that happen any time you want if you go deep in the throttle, wheels turned or straight. Hard on tires tho
That sounds gloriously angry, glad the crash wasn't worse. Throttle inputs seemed fairly abrupt, but it's hard to make a judgement from a video.
no he went wide and lost rear traction right before the wreck.
I mean, he could have done both? They also seemed abrupt to me.
Dude! It takes guts to post this. I appreciate the knowledge!
You were pushing super hard, I bet kt was exhilarating. The car sounds amazing
Jeez, you were screaming up to that point. Great car control in all the other cases. Impressive driving, my man!
Great sound and very fun lap , too bad it ended like that but main thing is that you are ok.
Man, sorry to see that!
I’ve been watching your videos for a long time.
I lost my c6 Z06 in a freak accident at Laguna Seca last year.
I’m sorry to hear! Laguna is less forgiving than Buttonwillow for sure!

All that rough stabby-stabby gas pedal with steering in. Surprise outcome.
The legendary Senna pedal technique lives on, keep on pushing it.
He did that to keep the turbo spooled. This car doesn't have a turbo...
Ham-handed & unskilled.

No lack of run-off space at that track. Looks like it’s located on the moon.
It's Bakersfield. The moon would be more scenic...
Sunset is such a scary turn for me. Can't help but think about the wall just waiting for my car...
I knew early and excessive throttle was going to get the driver.
I'd recommend installing a servo with more resolution or switching to analog in the right leg that connects the ankle. But the steering wheel work was wonderful !
I’d recommend installing a better driver. This dud is out of control.
I meant to say dude, but dud also applies.
Aside from the crash, it's cool seeing someone comfortable on the track in their car. Great driving.
Glad it wasn't too bad. Sometimes its best to give up the lap and go straight off
You found the limit...somewhat...
Stabbing the throttle mid corner will do that
Slow hands and slow feet equals fast times.
Yeah, Smoooooth is fast!
Easy on in the inputs big man
You can tell they are driving the car beyond their capabilities, slow down get it right at a slower speed.
Bottoming this person should have been pulled off the course before this happened
No such thing as rolling on the throttle, here. Glad you and the car are OK

Stiffer ARB will also cause it to be looser on exit though. I'd probably look at toe
That was some killer driving tho. props to you dude
Man i got no word with your laps, the car sound sick.
Man, you got to work on your throttle control. You got to be smoother and the corner that you lost it on you were going way too fast. Otherwise nice video you’re definitely on the limit.
smooth is fast, stabby stabby saw, saw, not fast. Practice makes perfect.
His driving was good on that lap some cars need some more agressive input
@@hotdogjoe1232 Damn near spinning out on every corner exit does not make for a good lap time
@@future62 Agreed but that was not the case in this video. And if you think it is go back to your skip barber racing school and get a refund ✌

looks like the rear lost grip on the curbing
Ouch, glad it wasn't too bad!
amazing video, I was actually there not too long ago! amazing time!
"if you're on throttle before the apex you're braking too early" Billy Johnson
Car seems quite neutral. Really easy to balance and correct it overall. Glad to see that it was just a minor crash
The throttle is not and on/off switch, that’s where he messed up. But damn was he drivin the wheels off that vette

@@rylandsilvayour posts are braking my head
@@sportbikejesus mine too 😆
can you not tell how fast this man is driving at the limit in that car 💀
Dang just barely touched the edge there
Saw that coming...
Getting my C6 ready for willow later this summer.
crashing isn't embarrassing when you are pushing it to the limit
You drive the hell out of that thing dude. Glad it wasn't a worse crash!
Buddy was certified getting it, shit happens to everyone eventually, luckily it wasnt a bad crash, rock on.
Beast mode. Is that the same vette you did a 1:38 at laguna with ?? Looks like you have some nice new mods.
Yeah, same car. A lot more mods! At Laguna it was basically stock!
I enjoyed that show! Give it some ballz hell yeah!
Definitely had the wrong driver!
Wow, the way this guy is swinging at the wheel. Feed it into the corners gently, be smooth!! Dont grab at the wheel!

@davu6712 is totally correct on the assessment...
@@swagger897lol “too much power” yeah, stabbing the throttle multiple times in a corner is somehow the track’s problem.
There's only one wall at Buttonwillow, and you found it.
Damn you soooo fast, 1:47 is nuts. Btw wts ur mods on the C6
Thanks, this was going to be a 1:46 lap:-( Next time. Mods are listed here: www.lsxmag.com/features/this-525-hp-c6-grand-sport-is-an-exceptionally-fast-track-toy/
gas pedal is an on/off switch
Lol.. i saw about 5 other corners i thought the crash would be on ... Less tip in and softer throttle release and you could have caught that spin..
Sunset is no joke joke man
Ha to check if my video speed was set at 1.25x.
What a riot brother💪🤘
That thing is a monster.
Remember smooth is fast !
Nice driving leading up to the incident. Man, you were really cookin'!
Awesome lap up until
Luckily there's tire barrier there these days...
Treating the throttle as a switch.
Tudo acontece muito rápido ! A tocada está braba !!🤘
Pois é, fui pego de surpresa nessa! Acho que esses pneus contribuíram pra escapada brusca.
Smooth is fast, this is not it. On a few occasions he is stabbing the trottle mid corner or even before.
this video was a riot
Dang.. who hurt you
This vette can handle
Excellent driving at the limit, just slipped on the curbing
There is/was something seriously wrong with this car and/or its tires. It drives like it is on ball bearings and in winter no less. Driver is good to keep it mostly in a straight line, but even his luck ran out
When you skill doesn't match your ability to overdrive the car...
More click bait. What crash?
OK. Here it comes. Nope. Here. Nope. Here. Nope…
The complete lack of smoothness is remarkable. Dude needs some coaching…BIGLY! Ever hear of “matching revs” on your downshifts? Apparently not.
That’ll put an end to a fun day
Waay too harsh with your controls and try leaving it in a gear instead of rowing the box so much.It's not a miata..
good driver
That is a good driving style. Drive it like you stole it. It is a Crash waiting to happen. Car setup looks great, driver looks like he wanted to create a crash video.

Wow, screaming along before then though!

Bummer nice driving though
Hell of a lap beforehand tho

Don’t know where I heard it.

Hey he was driving the wheels off 'er. Gotta credit him that much.
Wow this car is really fast, and great skills boy¡
What with all the hand movement? Need to keep hands still... Way too much non constructive steering input. Bad habit.
This guy can't drive
post your times?
looks pretty good to me, jealousy at it's finest
Lol, he can drive. He is having a little fun while he is at it. Not everything needs to be a neat tidy always.
