Oulton Park Novice Track-day crash

Oulton Park Crash. Hyundai coupe (Tiburon apparently in the States?) at lodge corner on novice track day 17 feb 2018.
Driver was fine and went back out after de-mangling his Hyundai👍🏽

Going for a cheeky extra lap as you know the track will be red flagged in a few seconds time!

That little sound when he hits the barrier. He felt that for days

For people wondering what exactly happened, that’s what happens when you enter too fast and still try to make the apex

[houseyUK]

A common place for novices binning it at Oulton. Turn in too early, miss the apex too to add to the challenge and you come out wide and end up either left of right barrier often. Text book.

Sh!t happens, especially on a novices track day. Did something similar myself on my first one (how else is anyone supposed to find the limit of their own ability if you don’t exceed it occasionally)? Nicely avoided though :). No point ploughing on and hoping to miss ‘em.

That corner is a tricky bastard. Decreasing radius and downhill after the apex. Have sent many a digital car into that same barrier in iracing

[anthonyboyne]

turned in too early, missed apex, ran wide on exit

He's done something motor racing drivers strive for... finding the limit of grip. Sadly, he quickly found the limit then carried on through it.

[jakubkrcma]

Judging by his lines, it was obvious he's not going to make it through the session.

[JamesWilson]

It was all salvageable, even after going in that fast and deep. The damage was done trying to power through it on the run off. Sad to see people learn that lesson the hard way!

My favorite part is at 0:31 when

VTEC KICKED IN YO!

Everyone is mentioning overcorrecting, but I think the biggest factor was going from the low traction grass back onto the tarmac swinging the car back violently. It was a chain of events, but I think the novice driver was unlucky to have overcorrected in a changing traction situation. But yes, a good driver would have taken that into account.

That's a tricky corner, off camber. I went there the other day on my first track day outing, ended up on the rumble strip there, which thankfully was as much warning as needed, I changed my speed for the rest of the day. That day there were several offs too many to count and a coupe of fires, red flag day!

[goodieshoes]

Everyone is getting on his ass but it's novice track day for a reason. Mans gotta learn somehow. Be glad it was on a track and not a public road.

[TheFlyingJanner]

All went south when he let off the brakes and coasted over the brow, that rear was only going to do one thing :)

[jhonnypenacho]

Last curve is very dangerous. You do it very well!

[cbrboy]

That bend catches lots of people out, turns in more sharply than you expect.

[nomadben]

I figured it would be the Tiburon crashing and not the S2000 lol

[PPC]

That corner is notoriously deceptive but as soon as I saw his turn in point I knew what was coming. He made it round the previous corner though which also seems to catch a fair amount of people out.

Could have been dangerous side on crash like that, not much crumple zone. MSVT usually put brake boards, cones down for the turn-in and apex. If you're a novice better off having an instructor for the day...I did my time at PEC on their low friction track and course. Had an excellent instructor telling me what do and why and where I was going wrong. After that I thought no point without an instructor...
