No ESP/Stability Control Has Its Risks :P

[Erwan1]

Rear tires were done as evident by this evening of lapping haha

No electronics to save the car here, as it was all off by disabling the steering angle sensor.

Fun times

Whoa! Good vid and great recovery :w00t:
Was that a normal occurrence pushing the car hard with ESP defeat? Were the rear tires pretty much at the end of life or set up off that day?

The rear tires were finished, was fighting the car to keep the rear in check...a couple times it got away from me as seen in the video.

Damm man. We get the boot up here if we're drifting like that during a lapping day. I've had my tires get greasy on me, but never completely lost the rear end quite like that. Nice recoveries.

 

[Renner]

nice skills man...recover like a pro

 

[zrickety]

Nice job. Is that a ford contour ahead of you? I thought all of those had broken down...

Good saves, could have ended up badly!

Would have loved to see what it looked like from the outside. Nice saves. I would have been a little rattled after the first one. Second one was better recovery!!

Hotchkis front and rear, front set to soft, rear hard.

As long as the car stays on the track and doesn't go into the grass and if the driver is considered 'experienced' then it typically is okay!

It sure is, my roommate actually. He has two (well technically that black one is his brother's). His is silver and is still being built, cage and a bunch of other stuff - actually pretty awesome and quick!

My "OH SHIT" moment:



Not as scary as being on a track but that light pole was approaching quickly...
