just a couple of crinkles. not sure if the crash or jumping out of the car on a hot track was more stupid.

amgthis · 10-16-2008, 10:56 PM

Wow. That sucked! I like the B7 RS4 Avant too. I heard on another forum it was a loaner car.

The entire right side of the car is ruined. The alightment, control arms, suspension, etc.

I'd say its at least $8k in damage.

rsmamg · 10-17-2008, 03:17 AM

haha $8k? try 20.. i like the nice pancake flop against the wall. evenly distributed the damage haha

When you say 'a loaner', do you mean this car is a hire car or worse still a car on loan from an Audi dealer.

God help him if it's either because it ain't insured for taking on a track. So the German Mafia will be after him then.

Disagree on that one TB. The squealing is classic awd and the over correction is not understeer but oversteer, with understeer his steering wheels would be aiming for the centre of the track.

What we have here is oversteer with opposite lock on, the rear end has gain traction on the surface (i.e. not enough power going to the rear to keep the slid going) and he hasn't had enough time to unwind to lock.

An amature of the highest degree.

P.S.

Probably the best thing that could have happened was for the stewards to have black flagged him before he took someone else out. Only they didn't get a chance.

OverDrive · 10-17-2008, 11:02 AM

That is definitely understeer. Sounds a lot worse than my 335xi when it understeers around similar corners at the track.

+1 the squealing is definetly understeer....the screeching is oversteer.

Actually he corrected perfectly as he was pointed in the correct direction down the straight, the problem is he then did not turn the wheel straight after it caught, and worse yet the only way to so violently turn in like that, he took his foot off the gas and pitched the car back onto the front wheels.
