How not to drive top Ess

[Chris101]

A few of you have kindly posted videos from yesterday showing how the hill should be driven

 

Thought I would post one showing how not to drive top Ess - too much speed, too little ability, too early in the day, too little grip, too much understeer - take your pick of excuses ☹️

 

 

I have cut the video before the car arrived at top paddock, the video of what happens in top paddock can remain a secret untill the end of season - Stuart, Mike, Richard, Jeff - you are on video 😬 😬 😬

'Unforgiving' would be my chosen word

Ouch, that bank is quite hard isn't it? as you say just a little too much speed, too much understeer and it's amazing how much can go wrong. Oh well as least you're fine, the car is easily fixable.

 

Didn't Mr.Nelson have a slightly less eventful but not that dissimilar bank moment last year?

Hope your feeling ok.

 

I have to say your speed into bottom ess was fantastic. So much more committed than my runs. The braking and going round was spot on. Well impressed.

It did all happen a bit quickly didn't it?

I must admit that the first time through I was a bit surprised by the lack of grip.

Glad you are OK -but now wondering exactly what we did say that has been caught on camera - nothing slanderous I hope

i seemed to struggle more in the afternoon with getting the power down out of top S, with some sideways action ont he way out which realy compromised my time ☹️

 

do you have any data logs showing your corner speeds for the S's
