Here’s an example of an expensive day at the track.

I don't think i'm capable of memorizing that track... if i ever drive it it won't be at speed!
I ht this track several times while in Germany. After driving a slow car fast on it, I never drove a higher HP car on the ring. Risk factor is extremely high!

All I can say is that has to be the worst towing company ever. I wouldn't let them tow my go-cart. He must not know how to use his wench and roll-back to his advantage. That was completely unnecessary. But, maybe that's how they do it over across the water.

That corner is notorious for crashes. There's very little camber and going up hill meaning that at the crest it unload the front tires and you have very little turning and traction.
YES!!! AND!!!! HE WAS HAMMERING THE BRAKES!!!! little traction turned into no traction. Mostly driver error unfortunately.

I've never been on the 'Ring but I BELIEVE in that corner you need to come in hard on the brakes before the corner and quickly trail off as you go through the mid corner and get back on the gas once you've cleared the apex. Which I think is in the middle of the track, not the edge.

I was actually debating get my car shipped to Europe for this track! But yeah scary. Then again could happen at my local track.

YES! He missed the apex and hard on brake late. Also, his steering angle never changed.

Most definitely can happen at Track Attack.
