- Driving at Oulton park in 2020 Bikesports race. It has just rained before we went out. I switched to wet tyres but when we went out the track was mostly dry.....apart from the run off areas 🙈

still nice drive, apart from the last mistake, u are running very patient
you were driving very well, really a small small mistake...what a pity
That was great driving, you were fast everywhere apart from maybe Druids where the entry looked a bit too cautious to me and I know there's a bump half way through there and it's scary as hell!! There were a few warning sign that the tyres were on the way out during the previous lap. Armchair critic!! All the best for the future.

What caused the crash was the double lift off the throttle into T1 that was a killer because if he lifted off only once later into the corner and committed the downforce would've been enough to push the car down and prevent the massive oversteer moment on the slippery curve, lift-off basically got rid of the areo downforce and made it mechanical which was a danger as the tyres was already worn on a wet runoff. This is what separates the pros against good track day drivers, sometimes being committed and extra aggressive with the car is the faster and safer way..
Enjoyed that, took a few more risks than I would. As for the spin and crash, shame but we have all experienced something similar. There's 2 ouch's one for the car and one for the wallet. Thanks for posting.
Brilliant Driving and a great watch 👍 Some of the comments are ridiculous 😂 Thanks for Posting !
Great video James!
Typing this before I see the crash, I stopped at 4:50 to give this compliment first. Definitely better lines than the 2 cars ahead. Slow in, fast out is how it should be done, and you're doing it great, with Shell Oils being the clearest example.

All went a bit hot tyre on the back on that lap, the car in front had more Stoke but this guy had the brakes and the grip until that last 2/3 of the lap. Such a shame, he was as smooth as silk until the back went wayward.
What a great driving! That one little too early cornering onto the sausage really sucks after such a clean race.
Absolutely fantastic driving. Really enjoyable to watch. Thank you very much for posting this.
Thanks much appreciated
Came for the crash, stayed for the good, clean, racing. I somehow knew it will be a mistake on T1, I hate that corner.
Brings back memories when I ran with scca in Florida. I’ve run open wheel and door slammers, enjoyed both. Nice drive and even at the end, you took it in stride. God bless you
Nice driving, it only takes a small error in these cars... Glad you're ok.
Loved the English tracks in Gran Turismo. Very tricky, with little space for mistakes, but if you good some good laps, it was so satisfying. Well driven!
It was really entertaining watching you pushing through the traffic. 👍 Sorry to see what happened. I hope the damage was not severe.
Lovely drive and great to watch, especially as you worked your way through to what I assume was 2nd pos. Could sense some tyre degradation a few laps prior and perhaps a few slight lapses in concentration. However, despite those high speeds, you seemed to shunt gracefully with what was hopefully minimal damage - and none to you! Certainly you remained calm and in control post impact. Cheers and thanks from an ex (kart) enthusiast and small time racer, Dave
Great to watch thanks for posting 👍
Thumbs up for everything up to that last Old Hall which can be such a ball bag of a corner, unlucky pal 😕
Great driving. Pushing on chasing the leader, shit happens !
Wicked driving despite the loss of grip around lap 6/7 and a bit of a drizzle. Some of the best driving ive seen in a long time.
Thank you Dan
Nice driving... Any crash you can walk away from is a good crash... Hope you are okay and safe racing in the future...
Tyres were going could see in previous lap. Pushed too hard.
Up until then great driving. Those things surefgo through Lodge well.
Looks like you just lost concentration on that last lap but until then it was a great drive, thanks for posting.
Lol after doing this exact thing all week practicing for my league race it's nice to see that corner collect someone else besides me😂😂 all jokes aside great run brotha! Would be a dream to run that car!
Those last few laps you were really hussling the car round,great bit of driving though shame about the result.did you have brake fade towards the end?
No wasn’t getting brake fade. Was on wet tyres and track was drying very very quick so tyres were starting to melt
@@jamesbarwellracing2096 could see at the hairpin you weren't gaining as much ground towards the end,was a great run, up until the off,loved watching the video 👍
I was concentrating really hard on the driving...and I am sat in front of the screen 😁....skilful driving
wow, that's was an amazing performance! ;)
11:09 Aww I feel your pain man.
Man, so unlucky. Amazing driving though, just bad luck😔
daww, you did so well up until that point!
James james james. Driver fatigue idk, tire fatigue looks like it, and I reckon if off throttle , you would have kept it. Thankfully nary a scratch on you or the car and im curious what tire you were on.
Unlucky dude, you were doing just fine! Hope it wasn't too expensive besides your pride!
very good driving, you were easily one of the fastest until it got too dry :(
could you possibly give any insight into what you do after the crash? what kind of damage? easily repairable? very expensive?
I want to buy an SR3 and I feel like im nearing being able to afford it
Thanks for the comment.
After the accident your kind of in shock I guess…You can see in the video I’m trying to restart to car thinking I might be able to carry on. Took me a few
Seconds to realise I went in too hard so probably not going to be possible. I got taken to see doctor to make sure I was ok, then waited for car to arrive back in paddock so we could assess damage. We are run by a team (RJ motorsport) who quickly made a list of parts we needed to get back out for the 2nd race.
Some we had in our spares box some we had to beg steel and borrow from our fellow competitors (always good to maintain a good relationship with other drivers/teams in case you need their help on a weekend). Once we had parts about 3-4 of us jumped on the car replacing some of the front and rear suspension components on right hand side. One of the brake discs was shattered as well so had to be changed. One wheel was bent and some bodywork damage had to be patched so we could get out. Just about managed to get out in next race. We managed to buy some 2nd hand parts from larger teams that run in Radical challenge which helped keep bill down but all in all was
Probably about a £1250 accident. Would have been much more expensive had we used new parts not 2nd hand. Good luck hope you manage to get out racing. We now racing sports 2000 which are much cheaper to run. Radicals are very expensive
@@jamesbarwellracing2096 Thank you so much for such a fast and detailed response. with RJ motorsport did you own the car and get track support from the team? As for radicals being very expensive, could you posssibly give me a super rough number for what your average spend was to run a season? Thanks again for responding
@@rtreyk we owned the Radical and kept it at home in garage. We did the basic prep on it before a race (nut and bolt check, replace pads, check fluids, change oil snd filter if required…very basic stuff). We would tow the car to the race and RJ would set it up for us. Also do any bigger work we couldn’t do (when time allowed…end of day usually). We race in the Bike sports championship which is run by 750 motor club and a much cheaper way to race a radical. Even with towing car ourselves and cheaper race entry fees (with 750 -about £500) you are looking at a £1500 weekend not including tyres. Some people bought old tyres from bigger teams which also helped keep cost down. New tyres are about £1300 a set…not cheap. Hope that helps
@@jamesbarwellracing2096 Thank you so much for all the answers
This whole thread was cool. Wanted to be a racing driver when I was a kid, things turned out differently. Now that I'm in my 30's I really need to get into some form of club racing.
amazing drive
I think the tire wear just got you on that one bud. Sorry to see your race end like this, you were very fast!
I’m surprised for the number of race specialists in this comment section
Lost the tires. Miscalculated tire wear. Or a spotty shower moved in. Great driving though.
Good driving, just a simple mistake. Glad you were able to walk away. Cheers!
Seemed quite squealy and slip-slidey on the preceding lap before the off, I'm guessing tyre wear was a factor here as well as the more obvious problem of getting out in the marbles.
Great drive up until the "oh shit" moment!
Things that make you go: "hmmm".
Hmm that was avoidable
Just a little deeper into Old Hall and a little earlier turn in combo gives you..... the slippy concrete on the outside and ..... shame ! I enjoyed the pace and nice clean moves.... trust the car wasnt too badly damaged
Thanks. Yes turned in way too early. Knew it at the time but was so concerned about losing time to guy in front picked up throttle anyway…rookie mistake. Thanks for commenting. Nice to get something positive!
Crash: 10:45
life saver
All the way through watching this I was expecting a mishap on Lodge Corner, That's why I always pitch there when I go down for the weekend.
God loves a trier, can’t fault the effort made. 👍
Remember this circuit was so bumpy in TOCA RD 3
That's why they tell you to stay off the rumble strips on the ring !
IMHO, you could have passed the blue car whenever you wanted to!
Couple questions:
A. It was VERY cloudy. Was the track damp at all?
B. Does repeadly hitting the corner curbing hurt suspension?
C. Would it be worth it to get a HANS DEVICE?
THANKS FROM A WANNA BE!
Hi John,
Yes it had rained just before the race started. Some cars were on wets (me included) some had stayed on slicks. By the time I crashed the track was completely dry which is why I was struggling. The curbs were wet though….so when I ran on it I spun and crashed.
Hitting the curbs does shorten the life of some of the suspension components unfortunately, but I can be the quickest way through a corner. Depends on car/track/conditions really.
If your racing you have to have a HANS so if you intend to race definitely worth investing in one. Good luck and thanks for commenting.
Belle course, dommage qu'elle se termine comme ça. Super pilotage 👏
What's the cost of a shunt like this?
Well I think we bought 2nd hand parts to keep cost down. Was an upright, wheel, brake disc and couple of wish bones and some bodywork. Was best part of £2k I think…that’s doing it cheap. Had a similar accident in a different car this year and was £5k
@@jamesbarwellracing2096 Yikes , cheers!
10:49 if steering was pointing the other u may have got away with it, great drive
Is it a millington engine ?
Hi, no it’s a Suzuki hyabusa bike engine
You can see how the bodywork flexes. It almost seems flimsy.
Pretty amazing. Thanks. Such determination and then it all stopped. He will win next time.
Thank you!
He should have realize he's wheels had no more grip ... his last turn before the crash was quite obvious.
Wait a minute....is that a barrel just off the apex? Who thought that was a good idea?
Even worse….It’s a big pile of tyres
i nearly shit my pants.
Algo quebrou, ou o pneu dianteiro esquerdo gastou mais rapido.( O q é normal nessa pista) O carro sai de frente na chicane, depois sai muito pra esquerda e da pra notar q ele precisa corrigir em todas as outras curvas. Até q naquela curva saiu e pegou a grama. Aí já era. Não foi culpa do piloto.
Acho que ele estava apenas empurrando um pouco mais no ar puro.
Spewing!
Man those things are slow. Shifter karts are faster than these things.
If you came to see the crash then jump to ten minute mark.
his tires were worn out..... grip
Pist dışı zemin kaygan olur. Sol ön ve sol arka lastik bu kaygan yüzeye çıkıyor, hemde virajı dönerken.! bu durumda yapabilecek hiç bir şeyi yok.! bu net bir sürüş hatası eğer lastikler bodür de kalsaydı bu kaza olmazdı.
Such a shame, great driving up to that point. Hope it didn't dent your wallet too much.
The "Crash" is at 10:45 - so u dont waste your time - as me...
10:46…..ur welcome.
SCHADE
Crash at 10.45🙄
You were trying to wreck for a while
un attimo e VIA....peccato.
schade, soweit wars ganz Ok.
Danke. Et war mega Scheisser!
These radicals behave themselves so well it’s like the driver is the weakest link of the system.
Hmm you’ve obviously never driven one. Trust me they are a handful!
The crash (it's very mild) starts at 10.45
Yeah, and some fantastic racing starts about 0.00 and goes through to around 10.45 - watch it you might learn something other than being a smart-alec youtoob common'tater
@@XXSkunkWorksXX Thank you for your contribution.
Thank you Glen
@@jamesbarwellracing2096 No problem with the video, but maybe the title could more accurately describe the contents.
@@mike747436 just out of interest what do you think would be a good title?
これだけ引っ張って自爆てw
What a way to waste 10 minutes.
Next time you make a crash video...just show the crash...not the 40 laps before hand...thanks.
Or you could just skip to the end….
