still nice drive, apart from the last mistake, u are running very patient

you were driving very well, really a small small mistake...what a pity

That was great driving, you were fast everywhere apart from maybe Druids where the entry looked a bit too cautious to me and I know there's a bump half way through there and it's scary as hell!! There were a few warning sign that the tyres were on the way out during the previous lap. Armchair critic!! All the best for the future.

What caused the crash was the double lift off the throttle into T1 that was a killer because if he lifted off only once later into the corner and committed the downforce would've been enough to push the car down and prevent the massive oversteer moment on the slippery curve, lift-off basically got rid of the areo downforce and made it mechanical which was a danger as the tyres was already worn on a wet runoff. This is what separates the pros against good track day drivers, sometimes being committed and extra aggressive with the car is the faster and safer way..

Enjoyed that, took a few more risks than I would. As for the spin and crash, shame but we have all experienced something similar. There's 2 ouch's one for the car and one for the wallet. Thanks for posting.

Brilliant Driving and a great watch 👍 Some of the comments are ridiculous 😂 Thanks for Posting !

Typing this before I see the crash, I stopped at 4:50 to give this compliment first. Definitely better lines than the 2 cars ahead. Slow in, fast out is how it should be done, and you're doing it great, with Shell Oils being the clearest example.

It was really entertaining watching you pushing through the traffic. 👍 Sorry to see what happened. I hope the damage was not severe.

Loved the English tracks in Gran Turismo. Very tricky, with little space for mistakes, but if you good some good laps, it was so satisfying. Well driven!

What a great driving! That one little too early cornering onto the sausage really sucks after such a clean race.

Nice driving, it only takes a small error in these cars... Glad you're ok.

Lovely drive and great to watch, especially as you worked your way through to what I assume was 2nd pos. Could sense some tyre degradation a few laps prior and perhaps a few slight lapses in concentration. However, despite those high speeds, you seemed to shunt gracefully with what was hopefully minimal damage - and none to you! Certainly you remained calm and in control post impact. Cheers and thanks from an ex (kart) enthusiast and small time racer, Dave

Brings back memories when I ran with scca in Florida. I’ve run open wheel and door slammers, enjoyed both. Nice drive and even at the end, you took it in stride. God bless you

All went a bit hot tyre on the back on that lap, the car in front had more Stoke but this guy had the brakes and the grip until that last 2/3 of the lap. Such a shame, he was as smooth as silk until the back went wayward.

Nice driving... Any crash you can walk away from is a good crash... Hope you are okay and safe racing in the future...

Lol after doing this exact thing all week practicing for my league race it's nice to see that corner collect someone else besides me😂😂 all jokes aside great run brotha! Would be a dream to run that car!

Great to watch thanks for posting 👍

Wicked driving despite the loss of grip around lap 6/7 and a bit of a drizzle. Some of the best driving ive seen in a long time.

Came for the crash, stayed for the good, clean, racing. I somehow knew it will be a mistake on T1, I hate that corner.

Great driving. Pushing on chasing the leader, shit happens !

Man, so unlucky. Amazing driving though, just bad luck😔

Looks like you just lost concentration on that last lap but until then it was a great drive, thanks for posting.

Good driving, just a simple mistake. Glad you were able to walk away. Cheers!

James james james. Driver fatigue idk, tire fatigue looks like it, and I reckon if off throttle , you would have kept it. Thankfully nary a scratch on you or the car and im curious what tire you were on.

Up until then great driving. Those things surefgo through Lodge well.

Those last few laps you were really hussling the car round,great bit of driving though shame about the result.did you have brake fade towards the end?

Thanks for the comment. After the accident your kind of in shock I guess…You can see in the video I’m trying to restart to car thinking I might be able to carry on. Took me a few Seconds to realise I went in too hard so probably not going to be possible. I got taken to see doctor to make sure I was ok, then waited for car to arrive back in paddock so we could assess damage. We are run by a team (RJ motorsport) who quickly made a list of parts we needed to get back out for the 2nd race. Some we had in our spares box some we had to beg steel and borrow from our fellow competitors (always good to maintain a good relationship with other drivers/teams in case you need their help on a weekend). Once we had parts about 3-4 of us jumped on the car replacing some of the front and rear suspension components on right hand side. One of the brake discs was shattered as well so had to be changed. One wheel was bent and some bodywork damage had to be patched so we could get out. Just about managed to get out in next race. We managed to buy some 2nd hand parts from larger teams that run in Radical challenge which helped keep bill down but all in all was Probably about a £1250 accident. Would have been much more expensive had we used new parts not 2nd hand. Good luck hope you manage to get out racing. We now racing sports 2000 which are much cheaper to run. Radicals are very expensive

@@rtreyk we owned the Radical and kept it at home in garage. We did the basic prep on it before a race (nut and bolt check, replace pads, check fluids, change oil snd filter if required…very basic stuff). We would tow the car to the race and RJ would set it up for us. Also do any bigger work we couldn’t do (when time allowed…end of day usually). We race in the Bike sports championship which is run by 750 motor club and a much cheaper way to race a radical. Even with towing car ourselves and cheaper race entry fees (with 750 -about £500) you are looking at a £1500 weekend not including tyres. Some people bought old tyres from bigger teams which also helped keep cost down. New tyres are about £1300 a set…not cheap. Hope that helps

This whole thread was cool. Wanted to be a racing driver when I was a kid, things turned out differently. Now that I'm in my 30's I really need to get into some form of club racing.

Thumbs up for everything up to that last Old Hall which can be such a ball bag of a corner, unlucky pal 😕

Unlucky dude, you were doing just fine! Hope it wasn't too expensive besides your pride!

Belle course, dommage qu'elle se termine comme ça. Super pilotage 👏

daww, you did so well up until that point!

I think the tire wear just got you on that one bud. Sorry to see your race end like this, you were very fast!

Seemed quite squealy and slip-slidey on the preceding lap before the off, I'm guessing tyre wear was a factor here as well as the more obvious problem of getting out in the marbles. Great drive up until the "oh shit" moment!

11:09 Aww I feel your pain man.

wow, that's was an amazing performance! ;)

What's the cost of a shunt like this?

Well I think we bought 2nd hand parts to keep cost down. Was an upright, wheel, brake disc and couple of wish bones and some bodywork. Was best part of £2k I think…that’s doing it cheap. Had a similar accident in a different car this year and was £5k

I’m surprised for the number of race specialists in this comment section

IMHO, you could have passed the blue car whenever you wanted to! Couple questions: A. It was VERY cloudy. Was the track damp at all? B. Does repeadly hitting the corner curbing hurt suspension? C. Would it be worth it to get a HANS DEVICE? THANKS FROM A WANNA BE!

Hi John, Yes it had rained just before the race started. Some cars were on wets (me included) some had stayed on slicks. By the time I crashed the track was completely dry which is why I was struggling. The curbs were wet though….so when I ran on it I spun and crashed. Hitting the curbs does shorten the life of some of the suspension components unfortunately, but I can be the quickest way through a corner. Depends on car/track/conditions really. If your racing you have to have a HANS so if you intend to race definitely worth investing in one. Good luck and thanks for commenting.

You can see how the bodywork flexes. It almost seems flimsy.

All the way through watching this I was expecting a mishap on Lodge Corner, That's why I always pitch there when I go down for the weekend.

Algo quebrou, ou o pneu dianteiro esquerdo gastou mais rapido.( O q é normal nessa pista) O carro sai de frente na chicane, depois sai muito pra esquerda e da pra notar q ele precisa corrigir em todas as outras curvas. Até q naquela curva saiu e pegou a grama. Aí já era. Não foi culpa do piloto.
