MSR Houston (CW) T1 Wall Slide - Mazda Miata - LSRPCA DE
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Two weekends ago was the weekend of the Hoosiers scrubs - can't go wrong with free, right? I started saturday on some high heat cycle Hoosier SM7.5s from 2020. By sunday morning I had corded them, so I switched to the next donated set - also some Hoosier SM7.5s from 2017.
The T1 mishap in this video happed on the first lap out on the 2017 hoosiers. I took my normal line through the carousel (T2) and through T1. I normally ride the T1 curbing with no issue. However, these were quite old and quite cold hoosiers, and they weren't up to the task to holding the rear through the curbing - yes, I should have known better and have taken it easier through there.
Thankfully, I managed to stay focused enough to release the brake once I realized I wasn't hitting the wall, which I genuinely thought I was hitting, to let the car rotate back around and unwind the wheel back straight. I'm glad this learning experience was just a scare and nothing worse.

Awesome save!
Wow! I had a similar experience on cold tires on the first lap almost kissing COTA's pit wall out of turn 20! Nice Job! I swear my sideways drift would never end, though I'm sure was less than 3 secs.
Had me sweating!!! Nice save

If you had save it it would have been the highlight of your year! But glad to see you didnt go straight into the wall and didnt crash with anyone else
Thank God my man! Keep learning!
Hell of a ride there Jose!!
As someone that’s never driven RWD or been on a track, what was the error here, what could’ve been done to save it, and what is the best method to save a car that’s over steering on corner exit like that?

He took too much curb and unsettled the car, causing it to oversteer as he stayed on the throttle. He did a great job recovering it by (I’m assuming) locking up the tires (braking hard) and putting opposite lock into the steering wheel until the car started to rotate back, at which point he let off the brake and straightened the wheel back up. In terms of saving it, his best bet would’ve been to ease off throttle immediately after going over the curb to minimize wheelspin. Edit: just rewatched the video and you can see/hear the revs jump up as he goes over the curb and unsettles the car, indicating wheelspin

@@curiouslyeternal spot on! that's exactly what happened. cold tires easily spun when I unsettled the car on the curbing.
Awesome save! I was wondering though, what video settings or editing did you do with your go pro to have it convey the speed you were going? I can never seem to capture how it really looks :'(

thank you! it's just a GoPro 8 on 1080p 120fps on linear. I've found the linear angle captures the sense of speed well.
