Near disaster at Sonoma raceway

Спорт

Near disaster averted, thankfully. My coach took my friend for a ride in my RS while I followed behind in my friend's GT3 and I saw this near disaster unfold right in front of me. 'Team Reardon' was a thorn in everyone's side that day. A 'race team' that decided to practice at a DE, but ignored that they were at a DE event. They would line up at the front (even though some of them had no business being up at front) at the start of the session and then block anyone from passing them during the outlap as they weaved back and forth warming up their tires even though they were asked to start at the back if they were going to do that. After this incident, one of them proceed to crash into an instructors car and destroyed it, only to shrug their shoulders. No class at all. A DE is not a race. Any competent driver should know the difference between the two.

    What really doesn’t make sense is why he let the Porsche by at the S/F just to dive bomb him in 4.

    Crazy! Nice avoidance Jeff, glad I sat out that session. Zero issue with the other race team in attendance but these guys were annoying all weekend but never expected it to get this bad.

    It does seem like he lost his brakes and turned it in to avoid the GT3.

    That should have been the story he stuck with. Instead, he blamed the GT3RS driver, my coach, for pinching him off and making him go off. SMH...

    What a bullshit answer from that 370 driver. This is a typical answer from a team that wants to avoid problems. Cant really prove anything that he said but folks are supposed to take it on his word. Laughable. The R8 from that team also took out a different driver and the cams were also defective. C'mon fellas, you screwed the pooch hard. Should be banned from the track, thats all. If this is how you race on a easy day, i wonder what you do on a normal day. lol

    I cant see anything wrong with the GT3 Drivers line and the Nissan was too far back to be trying for a late inside pass. Just a dangerous driver behind the wheel of the Nissan making a very poor choice that could have gotten somebody hurt or killed. My hope is that the organizer and track officials were shown these videos and an official complaint made.

    I was driving the TC Nissan. I had driven behind this green car in this section of the track many times over the course of the last 1.5 days. Never before had I seen the driver over slow that corner so dramatically as the Porsche did in this clip. If you view the video from the white Porsche following you will see that upon applying brake I start to turn in, (Which is the correct way to drive this corner) I immediately realized the Green car had dramatically over slowed the corner and was not turning in to make the corner either. I tried to clamp down on my brakes and park my car but as soon as I did the brakes immediately went into ice mode. I chose to put my car off road, over the curb and through the woods to avoid contact with the green Porsche. Had I done differently it would've resulted in a very bad collision. I later found out that the driver of the Green car was not the owner and it was his first time in that car for the event. I spent most of the time there learning the other drivers and their habits, This one caught me off guard. Thankfully no one was hurt and neither car sustained any damage. For the record that is a air vent hose routed around the drivers side mirror to flow air into the driver. The slower TC cars suffer from high temps in the cockpit while we are driving around so slow.

    Thanks for the comment and I agree that we are all very fortunate that a collision was avoided. I think you should know a couple things about the driver of the RS:1) It was not his first time driving that RS that weekend or any RS2) He holds track records at Sonoma and knows very well how to drive around this course and others3) He is a retired pro racer (like REAL pro) after 23 years in the sport. Nobody at the track that day was more capable or had more experience than him. Nobody. If you watch the video, he saw you coming in on the inside (watch his head look at the right rear mirror) and chose to hold off on turning in, which means you need to slow down more. It's not clear why you would want to attempt a pass on him. If you weren't planning a pass, it's not clear why you would be on the inside. Ice pedal can certainly happen in panic braking. I've seen it happen with Porsche and it's happened to me as well. In the future, you'll want to pump the brake in order to bring the brakes out of ice mode. Once you release the pressure, the braking capacity will return. Stay safe, let's share the track, and let's save the racing for real races.
