For those of you not keeping up with Miataforumz.com, this awesome race footage was posted by a member there. It also has an in-your-face Lotus versus Lambo wreck that the driver barely avoided being in the middle of. Enjoy.

Wow^

Wreck is at 12:40... looks like the white Miata(slower traffic) screwed it away by coming completely across the track out of the right-hander. The Lambo tries to go around him on the outside and ends up getting pushed into in the dirt. I'm not up to speed on what is appropriate though. Im sure the Miata didn't know the Lambo was there the Lotus was just wrong place at wrong time.

What do you do in that case if you're the slower traffic?

THANK YoU!

Get out of the race line...or the middle of the damn tack.

Personally i think its the lambos fault. Miata was already on the outside on that turn, the lambo tried to cut it off which the dude in the miata didnt see, lambo went in the dirt, tried to get back on the road, bumped the miata and spun out. If it had been the miatas fault, it would have ended up in the dirt to the left.

the miata should have stayed to the right and out of the race line, looks like the lambo was passing and got squeezed into the dirt and that spun him out.

The lambo spun out when he bumped the miata trying to get back on the road.

That yellow lambo was pissing me off the whole time before that even happened, so it almost seemed fitting.

I feel bad for the lotus if anything.

Funny, the trackdays I do, we always get told to keep to the racing line and let faster cars find their way around you. This keeps you predictable, instead of swerving all over to keep off the racing line instead.

Same here, to the right on straights, race line in corners. I would hate overtaking someone who changes line as I get close.

Slower traffic holds their line, assuming there isnt a car in the way. both parties are responsible for knowing where each other are at all times. Because of this, it is hard to say who is actually at fault here.

I guess that's easier than just coming out of the closet

Ding! We have a winner! You are supposed to maintain ther racing line to be predictable. It is always the responsibility of the car doing the passing to chose if/when/where/how to pass in a safe manner and to wait until there is a safe opportunity to execute the pass. The Lambo driver was doing a crappy job from the word "go" so I am also not surprised.

I didn't post it only for the wreck. Why would you skip the good racing just to see the wreck? You guys and your shadenfreude, lol. Besides, the racing adds context to the wreck. Races are stories. Stories that made you care about whose arse it was and why it was farting.

I noticed a lack of power and a shitty shifter.

Slower traffic holds their line Brainy, you are responsible if you choose to pass.

The Lambo was driving like a serious douche at several points in that video, I would not want to be on the same track as him. You cannot see clearly what happened in that video, but I think at least the lambo's douchy crap contributed in no small part to that accident.

I was told if someone is passing you, not to run them off the track if you lost the line.

If you loose the line, then yes. don't run someone off the track. but we really don't have a good enough angle imho to figure out who had the line. And I agree, the lambo was a bit of a douche.

My internet here on the awesome Navy server is only slightly above dial-up. I actually let the whole thing load (23mins @240p) and then watched. The racing is actually pretty good.

Christ, cats are so f'in stupid.

hahahahahahahhaa

Had nothing to do with the mailman. The retards packing it thought they could just shove everything in the smallest box they could find and ship it.

Who'd you buy it from?

Fleabay, seller jarcocorpii

Shoulda bought them from TSE...

I completely agree.

Except that TSE's are $300+Shipping, and the total cost of the COP setup will be $81 since I have everything else laying around...

I really want TSE's COPs, but they are pricy.

We hate you.

Look what I found in my old laptop..
The superlight MX5.

Behind the wheel is yours truly.

And, the red NB in the back is mine. (From a Mazda promotional photo shoot..)

Hardpack Camels.. Why?

https://www.miataturbo.net/diy-turbo-discussion-14/itt-fabbing-compound-curves-63358/

I used to smoke Turkish Silvers.

I haven't smoked cigs in a while, but Turkish Royals FTMFW. God they smelled good...

We do not have Turkish Silvers here..
I have been smoking hardpacks since I switched over to Camels back in....... dunno, sometime around '83 or '84.. Roughly 28 out of the 38 years of smoking.

We used to call those "Honey Nuts"

It's been awhile since I've smoked and even longer since I smoked filterless cigs.

Wow.

That douche in the RX7 pissed me off more than the lambo prick.

I'm not a track racer by any means, but god damn that FD driver couldn't drive to save his own life.

^i love that

Nothing says lets ----, like blowing smoke in her face. Seems like to me that is a good way to get her drunk friends to jump you in the alley.
