Rolling a Subaru without a roll cage......

It's the video on the homepage under "News Headlines"

that sucks! Who is this guy? I've never done a HPDE, want to, but ****. I can't feel the car by watching the video, but it didn't really look like he was that fast going in to me. Bad tires? Whaddya think?

And if it was that fast, I would think he would actually do one complete roll. He only did a 1/2 roll onto the top, and didn't even look like he slid while upside down. What gives?

i'm doing about 60-70 through that turn, so by the time he actually started to roll he was probably doing a good bit less.

Besides, he took a bad line through big bend and the left hander

I wouldn't worry about rolling your car. You can push your as much or as little as you want, so if you are a bit nervous you don't have to try to go 10/10.

Man that blows but,he turned in WAY too early and took his foot of the gas.
He was kinda lucky too because if he had of carried that bad line up the hill there it could off been a lot worse.
I nearly lost it there too but,it was as i was cresting the hill my wheels weren't dead straight and when i "landed" i nearly lost it scares the crap out of you.

damn that thing rolled easy. sucks that insurance is probably completely useless too. kinda scares me that it rolled that easy but i wonder if his tires hung up on something that pulled him over...

Looked like a Legacy?

Dstretch33 · 09-09-2007, 01:38 PM

That looked like it hurt mentally...you could see the car start to slide as soon as he entered the turn. gl next time
