this is called lift off oversteer. When your car's weight balance is at the rear and you have rear wheel drive, lifting off the throttle may have the same effect as stepping on it too much. The rear loses grip suddenly and the heavy engine pulls it out of the road. There is not much he could do. He should have used less countersteer and stay on the throttle. Once you get the tail wagging from side to side, your countersteer will never be fast enough.
modern cars are becoming more like apple products because once you get them if you change the even just the brake pads the onboard computer thinks that you're stealing them and it imobalise the engine. that be why i drive a JBA Falcon 1940's style roadster doesn't have an on board computer just a distributer cap and a radio. so if i start to lose control its me a 815Kg car, 4cyl 2L engine, no power steering, and an insurance bill of $3500 a year dam i hate being 16
@lochlandb I hate to admit, but on the nurburgring your car is not insured, so whatever damage you make on your vehicle, you;ll have to pay from your own pocket.
i cant believe they let in beginners that have fancy cars go to the world's hardest track on earth.Their should be a rule of either age or skill that way they will prevent any crashs on the track.
@olli30019 maybe because the "dumb" are busy making money instead of learning how to drive
I'm not trying to be an asshole but not everyone can drive like a pro, so don't assume he's an idiot. Admittedly he was pretty stupid to drive like that if he's inexperienced, but it doesn't make him dumb.
he made a mistake when he lift up the gas. if he wouldn't, maybe he we'll do nice drift :) but that's just a theory, in reality you automaticlly lift the gas. nice from golf 1 driver he stopped and helped, too :)
@xprophetxtruthx No thanks, I'd rather drive a car which takes skill to control, than to drive that overweight pig which is controlled buy a computer.
@XesbyecroF tourist laps of the nordschleife are somewhat unique, remember that the track is 20km in length and there are only two locations that have safety crew; start/finish & the exit/entrance @ Breidscheid bridge/Adenauer ... therefore the only immediate help available to a driver is from other drivers.
While I agree this is dangerous, its the only option available under such circumstances
I'd say he failed to brake sufficiently before the jump, and lifted as, or just after he turned in in response to a lack of comfort with the entry speed, once that lift occurred all bets were off ...
I dont necessarily think the driver is a bad one, I simply think he either did not know the turn, or was a little over ambitious with entry speed...
@LaurencePCable this is exactly how i rolled m 3000gt around a corner like that, but there was some gravel on the turn so thats what caused the initial fish tail. no more sports car :(
since this is a tourist lap session it is typical when there is an incident for other drivers, right or wrong, to stop and give aid. This section is Pflanzgarten I which is some 6+ minutes around a full lap at speed, the nearest track marshall is at briedscheid bridge which is at lap speed some 2+ minutes away, and a lot longer for the safety car, ambulance or flatbed.
Further the only way the track will know if a crash has occurred is if a driver, or a spectator reports it to track control
left the opposite lock just too long, If he'd have turned the wheel back to the right at 0:07 it would have been a real nice drift. but not an easy thing to do when you just shit yourself. lol
Actually. The number plate on the front is white and he gets out of the left hand side. So it isnt a english prick that cant drive. Its another euro prick that cant drive :P
@YUSKHAN thought you were german ... i love german cars just not you since you offended me by saying i'm a bad driver ... may not be the best but at least i'm english
That sucks. He could of simply kept his foot on the gas and drifted through that turn, but it was blind, so he probably couldn't judge if he could pull that maneuver off so he just locked the brakes up and overcorrected. He should of slammed the gas right when he overcorrected and he could have saved it.
@Massa91195 This has nothing to do with engine placement. If you are carrying revs and are completely off the throttle and on the brakes full on, the car is going to spin even if it is FWD. This is racing 101 common sense.
@frambesbuckeye so he was in the max revs on the gear (i guess he was in 3rd gear ,i dont know) and thats why he crashed?? he should stay on 4th gear???
did i understeand?? sorry for my english but i want to know if understeand you.
@fliingskwrl On the ring, the first car that comes across an accident is supposed to stop to help and warn other cars coming down the track to slow down...its perfectly safe(ish)
Big up the 2nd golf driver!!!! SLAMS ON the brakes, jumps out and offers a help, Pay attention my people the track is so big there are no marshalls for most of it, your given a number to phone if having problems so drivers look out for each other, they do have a patrol car that goes round as i remember.
fatal driving error... This is, why the money to buy such a lovely car doesn´t make you a suitable driver for it.
It really hurts watching this. And presumably his insurance paid for this idiots car, sponsored by all other insurance clients... I hope he hasn´t got a single cent.
It may piss people off to hear that, but it doesn't make much sense to me either. Why can't they at least move the rear tires toward the back bumper and get the engine in front of the axle? The 911 would be a much more stable car that way instead of having an anchor hanging off the rear axle waiting to take someone's head off.
Thank you. Most people who actually know a few things about cars will accept this and get past the fact that expensive super-cars have flaws, no matter just how gorgeous the car is or how much history it has behind it.
I think Porsche wants to keep the rear seats, keep the aerodynamics (which are excellent), and the traction that the rear tires get is good too off the line.
But I don't think any of that justifies an off-balance vehicle.
I'm pretty sure we all just saw what kind of problems this can create.
@Mordax14 What are you kidding me , in a worse crash the guy could die if people don't stop and help. It was a major problem when they held F1 races there as well.
@Mordax14 First of all get back to school and learn some English. Second you might want to read about a guy named Niki Lauda who nearly died on the ring (the full ring not the short one) back when it was a F1 track and was only saved by fellow drivers.
@Mordax14 It is a awesome example , its why the ring was discontinued as a f1 track. The problem of the ring being too big for marshals to get in time in case of a disaster hasn't changed because 40 years have passed.
@Mordax14 I looked it up , it was in Spain at Jerez in 1990, the driver was Martin Donnelly, who’s Lotus was destroyed when it slammed into a barrier head on.
He just jumped out..was during a practise-session .
Also the day before he died , he attended the at the crash of Ratzenberger during qualifying on Imola and did the same thing ..so yes I've seen a F1-driver doing it .
@Mordax14 euhm actually yes....Ayrton senna did that in a race ...that's why people like him so much , it was in his nature to help people .
I forgot what track it was , but it was a horrible accident, where the driver was thrown out of his car..Senna stopped his car and ran up to him to help .
@gunship28 No its not, it is a standard 996 GT3, you can clearly tell this because it the 996 GT3 RS had stripes on the side, and did not come in red. It also had a carbon-fiber rear wing. The iconic shape of the 911's roof-line can support a large amount of weight before it gives.
hmmm let me see customer with that much money couldn't possibly modify their cars colour not a chance! a vehicle will never take that much impact to the roof and be still so intact unless it has reinforcing
The impact wasn't that immense. I'm sorry, but this is clearly not a GT3 RS. The GT3 RS had slimmer side-skirts, a subtle splitter, CF mirrors, a CF rear wing, a minor splitter at the front, and GT3 RS graphics which came in either red or blue. I don't think someone would modify their GT3 RS back to the standard GT3 form. He probably has a roll-cage installed. This is a standard GT3 all around. Search up the 996 GT3 RS on google and then comment back to me with what you have backing that up....
You have provided NO facts that that is in fact an RS. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRE-FACELIFT 996 GT3 RS! THIS IS THE PRE-FACELIFT. I'll message you a picture of this crash...
@porschecarreragtmay6 you are correct this is a mkI 996 GT3 and there was no RS version of this car, only Clubsport pkg that included seats, 6pt harnesses, roll cage, fire ext and battery switch.
You can tell because of the rear wing, wheel and front bumper design which version it is.
Wow dude locked them up was really dangerous. Someone could have smacked him right in the ars. Porsche looks good still considering how fast that crash was.
not really, lost control, spin out in the chicane, and gently felt on its roof, not like he drove right into a wall in 160 mph, now THATS dangerous :P
boi dis shows how Porsche are built solid bwith good quialty evan doe it flipped... a cavalier would disentagrate....lol unno americans cann nah bill nah car hmh
I may be wrong (never been able to drive this beast) but looks like he counter-steered too much for a 4wd. I think it could handle the oversteering by doing very little counter-steer and keeping the gas slightly open. Probly he braked too much with engine.
I wasn't trying to be smarmy, just pointing it out. And in fact I was technically wrong, I should have said 996 GT2/3 as the Carrera/Turbo models are AWD.
Driving cars at these speeds is pretty challenging. You really have to know every corner of the track if you want to prevent something like this from happening. You probably need many years of training under your belt to know everything thats needed to know to drive safely, especially on a track like this.
I've been playing Forza 3 sans assists and I've rolled over the GT3 simply by up shifting (2nd to 3rd) too early when coming out of a sharp corner. But the car is a beauty when you get things down.
Looking at the vid I think his racing line was a little off as well as his speed being slightly too fast. Even if he recovered and didn't spin out he may not have been able to stay on the track depending on how sharp the next turn was (hard to see)
Rear tires lost traction either because of somthing on the surface of the track (other cars are locking up/sliding), because he upset the car jumping on the breaks or somply came in too hot carrying too much speed. Its that simple.
respect to the guy who stopped to help him .

The impact wasn't that immense. I'm sorry, but this is clearly not a GT3 RS. The GT3 RS had slimmer side-skirts, a subtle splitter, CF mirrors, a CF rear wing, a minor splitter at the front, and GT3 RS graphics which came in either red or blue. I don't think someone would modify their GT3 RS back to the standard GT3 form. He probably has a roll-cage installed. This is a standard GT3 all around. Search up the 996 GT3 RS on google and then comment back to me with what you have backing that up....

One thing I couldn't fit... This is the pre-facelift 996, the GT3 RS was based on the facelift. That is THE MOST OBVIOUS hint that it's not a GT3 RS.

@porschecarreragtmay6 hey when you work for porsche or deal with them as much as me then comment. you cannot back it up. the truth is that is a rs
gunship28 1 year ago
You have provided NO facts that that is in fact an RS. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRE-FACELIFT 996 GT3 RS! THIS IS THE PRE-FACELIFT. I'll message you a picture of this crash...
porschecarreragtmay6 1 year ago
@porschecarreragtmay6 you are correct this is a mkI 996 GT3 and there was no RS version of this car, only Clubsport pkg that included seats, 6pt harnesses, roll cage, fire ext and battery switch.
You can tell because of the rear wing, wheel and front bumper design which version it is.

@TBaggCheli0s or he knew the track very well..where he's running the danger should be pretty ok..everyone runs wide at that end of the corners..

yeah an awd would have never done that. Then again, he was looking good until he pussed out and backed off the throttle... Nice catch on the cam!

I may be wrong (never been able to drive this beast) but looks like he counter-steered too much for a 4wd. I think it could handle the oversteering by doing very little counter-steer and keeping the gas slightly open. Probly he braked too much with engine.

Normally I would agree but the 996 is RR not AWD.

I wasn't trying to be smarmy, just pointing it out. And in fact I was technically wrong, I should have said 996 GT2/3 as the Carrera/Turbo models are AWD.

Driving cars at these speeds is pretty challenging. You really have to know every corner of the track if you want to prevent something like this from happening. You probably need many years of training under your belt to know everything thats needed to know to drive safely, especially on a track like this.

I've been playing Forza 3 sans assists and I've rolled over the GT3 simply by up shifting (2nd to 3rd) too early when coming out of a sharp corner. But the car is a beauty when you get things down.
Looking at the vid I think his racing line was a little off as well as his speed being slightly too fast. Even if he recovered and didn't spin out he may not have been able to stay on the track depending on how sharp the next turn was (hard to see)
bcrt2000 2 years ago
Rear tires lost traction either because of somthing on the surface of the track (other cars are locking up/sliding), because he upset the car jumping on the breaks or somply came in too hot carrying too much speed. Its that simple.
