  • A spirited canyon run ends up with the VW GTI crashed and totaled in the hillside - it's the risk of driving on a mountain pass at speeds. Stay safe out there - the track beats the road and street at upper limits! This can happen anywhere - Mexico, USA, Ebisu, Nurburgring, wherever.

      Saved it? He panicked and grabbed a handful of brake because of target fixation. He could have easily made that corner but instead he focused too much on the car that left the road. He didn’t save the car from understeer because it wasn’t an issue, he was just lucky enough to stop.

      he was clearly understeering because the road was dirty you smart ass. if he didn't straighten out the wheel he would have gone off the road a little later and maybe hit something. he reacted correctly because by straighening out the front wheels he had more grip for braking. if he had kept steering he would have understeered into a tree or some shit. people really always think they are better drivers than people in fail but if this would happen to you you would probably keep understeering into a tree. smh.

      Q: Why did the camera car follow? Perhaps target fixation?
      A: Attentive viewers will notice that I first intended to turn left, but suddenly straightened out the wheel. I entered the corner faster than expected, and realized that I may not have enough available grip to clear the corner. The next best option was to brake in a straight line and use the runoff area. The GTI’s path was already set and I wasn’t going to rear-end it.

    Rule #1. KNOW THE ROAD. Run through it a couple of times 'quickly', you'll get an understanding of what is around blind corners. Looks like it was both of these guys' first time around as they tried doing nearly 100 mph around a blind tight bend. Most of the time you can't save it, so you have to learn to prevent it.

    Shit dude I feel for him. My back roads can still surprise you from time to mine even with experience and I almost totaled my Celi that way. My buddy has an MR2 and he tried a little bit of lane swallowing on a turn when suddenly a Genesis Sedan I had passed earlier took a corner super quick, throwing my body off. He had to turn off towards the shoulder of the road, the mud in there turned him around and he slid backwards off to the very side of the ditch. It was scary, and he was just inches away from tumbling into a horizontal tree forest to possibly his death. Since then I've stopped doing lane swallowing and considered getting spotters, and thankfully my friend and his MR2 are ok.

    Hey guys, looks like this video has been getting _much_ more attention than I had anticipated, and I’ve been noticing numerous repeat questions/comments that I can’t respond to individually. I’ve compiled a Q&A to help everyone better understand what’s going on in this video: *(See **_"Read more"_** to expand)*
    *Q:* _Why did the lead car turn right?_
    *A:* They understeered while turning left, and overcorrected to the right to avoid hitting the tree.
    *Q:* _Why did the camera car follow? Perhaps target fixation?_
    *A:* Attentive viewers will notice that I first intended to turn left, but suddenly straightened out the wheel. I entered the corner faster than expected, and realized that I _may_ not have enough available grip to clear the corner. The next best option was to brake in a straight line and use the runoff area. The GTI’s path was already set and I wasn’t going to rear-end it.
    *Q:* _You are endangering innocent people / Stay in your own lane_
    *A:* I understand why this looks dangerous without context - however a scouting run was done to ensure nobody else was in the area. As for crossing yellows, there was no instance where anyone could have been on the other side. The only blind corner was the last right turn, which no crossing was done. It’s a controversial issue, so I’m willing to discuss this as long as you’re being reasonable.
    *Q:* _You’re a terrible driver with no skill._
    *A:* I’m still far from where I want to be as a driver, but I’m always working towards making myself better. Anyone with similar goals can at least understand that. This was one major mistake between hours upon hours of practice, and is not representative of how I would usually drive. If you watch my other videos and still think I’m terrible, that’s fine with me.
    If you’ve read this far and want clarification (or need to tell me something), I’m willing to have a civil conversation. This channel is much more than idiots crashing, and I encourage any driving enthusiast to take a second look. We take a deeper look into vehicle dynamics and technical driving, which I am aware is ironic to say here. Stay safe out there, unlike the content of this video 👌

  • @Cheaty_Four
    @Cheaty_Four 7 років тому +9

    He should have braked sooner, ride out the turn and gradually give it gas. I also think he got pulled in by one side of the dirt road, seeing how that lane was very narrow and probably had a considerable height displacement between the asphalt curb and the dirt. A turn like that on a road that narrow... He was probably pressing his luck. Not to mention FWD is notorious for the weight shift powerslide and that probably made his car WANT to go right when the rest of the car was supposed to go left.
    Like I said, early braking can help you prepare yourself to take a turn a lot better than late breaking. Unless you have a RWD/Torque Split AWD and know how to drift, brake turning is a bad idea for FWD.
    As far as saving it... If he had been able to retain control over his steering at the very least, he could have probably turned it towards the spot you stopped at and worst case scenario break through the gate and need a new bumper/hood.
