As you say an inexperienced punter who foolishly went to the 'Ring aiming to sell the car after (why did he buy it in the first place) without even taking any form of track performance courses and with a pocket rocket like that you need lightning quick steering reaction corrections.

Inexperienced is not necessarily the problem, it's overconfidence which leads to overdriving. That it's a mid engined car probably doesn't help.

The 4C driver racing it clearly unprepared for the first time ever with the express attitude "I wanted to show off a little", was a red flag. The steering wheel hand positioning of the 4C driver was also a red flag (didn't know the importance of the 9 and 3 o'clock positioning). Almost losing control at Kleines Karussell (Schwalbenschwanz) was a humbling warning he failed to heed. Of course easy for all of us to point this out from our comfortable seats. We all can crash. But overconfidence ("I wanted to show off a little") on a treacherous race track was a big part of the equation here.

Glad I found this one, car is all stock at 560bhp.
''The M2 that I drove earlier was more difficult to handle than this car'' M5 is fitted with P Zeros which were getting hot. With MPS4S I'd guess corner speeds would be taken quicker. Last edited by M5Rick; 08-21-2024 at 08:20 AM.. |
