Onboard Crash - MX5s (Miata) at Jim Clark Esses - Croft [VIDEO4]

http://www.driver-coaching.com - This is an onboard from Race 3 of an MX5 race at Croft Circuit. The car was fitted with the VIDEO4 system from Race Technology and driven by me, Malcolm Edeson

The crash happened on lap 9. It was a very mixed race in terms of conditions. It was just spitting with rain as we went to the colecting area so I left the car as was (dry settings and tyres). It then started to rain heavier and some drivers changed to wets and wet settings. It started very wet and all those (inc me) who had started on dry setups struggled a bit. However it did start to dry and we were again on the pace and catching cars ahead. It then just started raining again.

You will see from the footage what happened. I only had the option to go left as no way to pull the car right at that speed, had the driver of the red car braked I would have got through fine but he didn't and rolled across the track into my path.

The car was a rent-a-drive from Keystone Group who run many cars in the MX5 Championship.

Which game is this? available on PC?

[MaxxUK]

@douma4000 - LOL, it's real life i'm afraid! which means no RESET button and to get your car back to normal costs about the same as a High End gaming PC! .. thanks for watching :)

Great video - front, rear, and driver cams, instruments, track map and lap times all in one.

Man, that sucks... And it wasn't even your fault.

Well, glad you're ok, and the car probably could be fixed :)

@Fuchs1337 I was content watching the whole thing. Nothing like Miata racing!
