Video

Going well in the comments, I see. That's her told!

Didn't go two feet in

Poor take calling out a fellow driver. If you caused a crash, you wouldn't want to be called out

That was a big one

Maybe u should have got on the power quicker rather than checking up everyone behind. U just make yourself look like a right goose when you tag a video like that!

That’s a HUGE hit.

Horrible accident. Similar to Billy Monger’s.

ouch

😂😂😂

Carroll is rolling in his grave. shelby miata? come on

That sucks. I live in Beaufort and been wanting to take mine to Roebling Road for some track time.

Glad everyone was OK (assuming so) that was a nasty no time crash. Thank God for well engineered automobiles.

*boop*

Why did the ass just let go right there? Did it just take too much shock from the curb?

The time you had to make a decision was crazy short so this isn't to say you were at fault at all, but I guess this goes to show... if you can't see ahead of the car infront and they slow down at a time you'd normally expect them to accelerate, chances are they've seen something you haven't and potentially "gently" spinning them out if you're a bit late on the brakes is better than hitting; with full force, whatever they're avoiding.

Oh mate. Nowhere to go. What a terrible shame.

raced SM hardcore for 10 years. stuff happens. I had a car go off track left, hit a big ass dirt berm and fly back over the track, just above my car, while i zipped barely underneath it. i was so deep in the red mist the only thing i noticed was that inside my car it smelled like dirt.

I think some people don't realize the amount of time they spend typing an analysis is longer that the time the brain has to react in the actual moment. Thanks for posting, even if its not a happy watch its proof of the side of racing you have to consider but never want to experience. Cheers to the next build, whatever form It may be

That escalated quickly, condolences.

The crash did not look like it totalled the car though; granted, it would have been a costly fix, but still - nothing a body shop and some wrenching could not straighten out.

Man, that was a vicious impact. Did you taste a taste like sticking a nine volt battery on your tongue? In one of my worst wrecks, I did. I guess it was adrenaline. The back of my neck tingled like I was getting shocked. Then I hit the another car and the wall. I woke up a few minutes later. Glad to see you are OK. Holy crap!

Should have stayed in your lane. Behind the the car you were behind.

To begin with, was it very professional to enter the racetrack with the windshield fouled like that? The one that crashed was applying jerky wheel movements (_cutting nails_ trajectory), thus disturbing stability in corners (compare his stance with smooth no. 21). On the exit of his final right-hander he seems to have applied too much throttle too early for a RWD, while too much wheel grip was still busy with lateral forces, so he overdid and lost it. The typical dynamics of the accident (so typical that you see relevant scorch marks left on any track) indicated he would end up inside, so the right thing to evade was to stay on the outside (aim for the dust, the white one did this and survived). However, I can understand instinctive impulse to evade tailgating the green one. It would take a true professional to have the instinct well rooted to stay clear by not going inside where the car out of control would be. On the other hand, two long seconds lapse between the alert (sight of dust) and braking to evade the green one. A good time of reaction is 0.2-0.3 seconds. One second is very mediocre. This means you saw the smoke and did nothing for a long long time.

Ouch.

There never was any such thing as a “Shelby” Miata to start with😂 you can put whatever stickers you want on the windshield but it doesn’t make it so.😂😂😂😂😂

That was a 'Billy Monger blind dashout move'

I think you could have started the video earlier, like when Mazda was still making her ...

Why do the rules disadvantege the NAs? I see no reason why it wouldn't be better is all eligible generations were competitive.

This reminds me of the bad one at limerock a few years ago where one car went over the other: spin ahead, traffic, attempt to drive around to passenger and the stopped car is revealed.

I ran shifter karts there a few times in the early 2000’s. Fabulous track. Off track ( at that time) was a bit problematic. Loved your tour.

Damn, that was a nasty one. Hope everyone involved was OK.

Went to the Skip Barber 3-Day racing school there in 1981. Great weekend. I flat footed the last curve - the one you didn’t get to - at 103 mph and ran over a red cone at the apex. Then I dragged it halfway down the main straight.

Did everything right. Very unlucky just to pinch the front brakes and lost steering at the critical moment, otherwise he would have missed the spun car. Bad luck, hope he's not too sore, that was a big hit.

Was such a pretty car. Damn

The car spinning out ahead was visible through the right hander. Glad everyone ok.

Well seeing the dirt go up should maybe have been enough to follow the car in front who had a least a view of what was happening. Bad choice

“If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver” - Ayrton Senna

Commiserations.... Nasty one. Absolutely no line of sight on the spinning car and looked to me as much an avoidance manoeuvre on the 21 than a pass attempt. Don't doubt the car is/was a right mess but hope you are/were OK.

rest in peace sweet prince

“Hey look a gap”

Boys, can we get an "'F' in the chat?"

You see a puff of dust indicating that someone has gone off, the car in front of you makes an evasive maneuver and then you decide to pass on the off chance that whatever he's evading won't be there when you arrive. If you'd been right it would have been an easy pass. I guess that's racing! Too bad about the car. Edit: Thanks for posting! You guys push really hard, it's way more entertaining than watching Red Bull lap the field!

well driving and prediction by white car

Listen and learn: "Never attribute to malice what could be equally well explained by incompetence." Intent is a very serious accusation and very hard to prove. You were all in very tight traffic and there was some panic braking up ahead. In racing we do *not* maintain a safe following distance, resulting in severe traffic surge and ultimately contact. This looks like it was a racing incident, and if you can't accept that, you should probably find a different sport. Sucks about the car; I'm assuming you were uninjured.

Damn that's a hard lick... Glad you're okay

I had a similar, but far less serious wreck this season. Wrong place, wrong time. Glad you are alright.

That sucks bro. Sorry

There was major braking where there should not have been. You were barely tapped. I suggest you find a sport where you don’t slander others over Mickey Mouse nonsense.

Loved watching this car take off. Sounds so good!

Lots of regrets with that move. Did you not see the spin?
