Uh oh

[Atik]

That made me chuckle even though I shouldnt have. Ouch! for both Evo and BMW.

[WildCards]

Oh dear, bloody unlucky for the BMW driver

[Ryan]

I would be seething if I was the BMW owner.

Its been on MLR for a few days now. The EVO owners brother was driving and inexperience caused him to lift off. Classic example of power on NOT power off!

He did say he was on a cool down lap. He is getting a bit of stick on there though.

Cannot watch as at work

Where did it happen?

[GroundControl]

By pit lane exit, Evo rounded the corner, got lift-off oversteer and collided with a BMW leaving the pits.

[White Lightning]

Spa.

I've seen a few on that part of the circuit over the years. There was a Scoob that must have done exactly the same there the year we went.

[maori_by_nature]

sucks to be that guy lol

[Spirit]

Feel for both of 'em

[Kieran]

Ouch!

But FAIL!!! /pan

[elnevio]

Feel for them both. It's not easy being a perfect driving robot!


Shame the BMW wasn't looking at the Evo at the right moment, he could have braked then the Evo would have only collided with the wall. Still a shame though.

[Nick Mann]

Errr..... Steer in to the slide? /pan

[chris g]

Give it throttle and steer away from collision...

Car should do the rest...?

[Nick Mann]

Throttle or not, steering always helps. That chappy appears to have the steering wheel centred from the point of traction loss to the point of impact.

I remember being in that situation on Kyalami, an old Gp circuit in South Africa. Was in a huge slide on a long right hander. I'd gone in too fast and I backed off as soon as I got into the corner. The back was starting to come round. But as I turned into the slide, I felt like I was going to fall off the outside of the track. I tried putting on just a tiny bit of throttle, and hey presto - it put a little more weight on the back wheels and the slide stopped - I was amazed!
