C6 Corvette crash at Buttonwillow CW13

  • I did a few 1:47 laps and decided to push a little harder on the last turn as I was coming for a 1:46 lap. A7 tires were too hot, track was dirty and I went too hard and early on gas. Bad combination! Damage was mostly cosmetic.

    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.

    • @dondelchulia3189
      @dondelchulia3189 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      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.

    • @rylandsilva
      @rylandsilva ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@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.

      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 😉

    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!!
