Track crash - my fault?
Novice group at Brands Hatch Indy and all was going well until a low flying R1 put me off my stride. Wasn't annoyed at the time but watching the video back I'm a bit miffed. It was the second lap of the third session and tyres were still cold, I grabbed a hand full of front brake and you can see the result from the video below.
What do you lot think?
Sorry, took me a couple of goes to get the video in. Last edited by MrFurious; 04-09-14 at 03:51 PM. |

Re: My fault?
What track day provider was it?
Most don't allow inside passes into the corners on TD's especially in novice groups

Re: My fault?
it was the person who undercut then decided that they were going to hot and backed off that caused the crash. everything would have been fine if the undercutter kept the gas on.

Re: My fault?
Yes, its not usually allowed, on my last track day 2 knobs passed loads of us on the inside on the first lap of our first session!
Looking at the footage the R1 rider came in too fast into the corner and had to brake to avoid going off himself? Rather than carrying his corner speed, he decelerated which caused the the OP to brake mid corner, otherwise the OP would have rear ended him? Dunno really, just my 10 peneth?

Re: My fault?

Its advanced and intermediate riders mixed in with us that spoil novice sessions. Most of them are on more powerful bikes & just use power on the straights. If they were skillful riders they wouldn't cause crashes like that
