    Wow. Got through Canada just fine. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a spin at that corner...I’m not a pro, but the video looked like you were in good shape. So, surprise to me...and you. Glad the damage was minor. Thanks for sharing.

      I made a very rookie mistake of hitting the corner early, trying to go faster. It's very common, and now I spend a lot of time right-seat, trying to help others avoid doing the same thing. :)

      Paul Tracy had a big off there in a Champ Car there around 2004. Spun to the right, just like this gentleman, and hit the tire barrier in front of the old bleachers by 14 hard.

      Mark Patterson Thanks. I have a new appreciation for what can go wrong at that turn!

      Seen lots of spins at 13 through the years. This is a very common mistake, the other is trying to get a big run into 14 and dropping a wheel off on exit of 13. Point is, I think anyone could make this mistake. I try to keep it off the curb on the apex here.

      @@keegles1 Just got back from Road America a week ago. I took the curb on 13 and then used some of the access road on exit. Learned I need to hurry back left for entry into turn 14. I have seen more offs on turn 14 than 13.

    the little whoop-de-do got you after the apex. Your line looked great to me. You needed to catch the spin a hair sooner. Good drive.

      I learned to ride curbs, when appropriate, much better eventually. Though you're right, there are some at Road America you want to stay off. I've heard stories of the gators on the runoff at turn 5 setting off airbags.

    Old set of rear tires, for sure - decent recovery - never as much grip in the grass as you want

    左フロントタイヤが縁石に乗り過ぎましたね。少しの事でクラッシュするんですね。

    Even though it sucked you got off the track and hit, it didn't seem to cause too much damage? Right?

      @owensnicholas  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yeah this one wasn't that bad. I was able to pull the dents out, and a friend had an inner tie rod. I was back on track the next day, minus a mirror.
      Now this one, almost exactly a year later? Much worse. th-cam.com/video/0HwWUoo-xMY/w-d-xo.html

    What caused the car to get unsettled on the curb?

    • @owensnicholas
      @owensnicholas  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think I made the same mistake that can be seen in my roll at Autobahn, roughly a year and a half later. I hit the apex early, tried to cut the corner, and had too much steering angle to try to force the car to turn.
      This has been a difficult and expensive habit for me to change.
      In both cases, the car oversteered and went backwards into the inside wall. In this case, it wasn't so bad. In the other, I destroyed the car.

      There's a little bump right at the apex of 13 so I try to avoid getting too close to the curbs there. Good save, hopefully damage was minimal

      @@owensnicholas Its hard to see for sure but it looks like you were on cold tires, but more importantly it looks like there was no counter-steer early into the slide. It looked like the nose was still moving/pointing left when the rear was moving right.

      @@dc5769 there's so much to unpack in this one crash. I was inexperienced and over-eager. I didn't know how to build speed safely.
