I CRASHED MY TESLA AT THE NÜRBURGRING ... ALMOST  

Yh, low down is always optimal but abit more forward is what is missing

​@@user-ot7jd9dt7t he's reclined too much. Should be sitting up straight for better control.

Yeah seriously @StevePeeters: don't ever drive like that again on anything other than miles of nowhere going straight and on Autopilot. No way you will be a decent driver sitting behind the wheel like that.

Depends entirely on the car... most cars like trailbraking

​@@EreZm1definitely not on that part of the ring.

@@Shinkaaaa you mean this specific turn?

@@EreZm1 well yea but i usually saw cars spinning out on that corner

Yup, definitely don't want to brake thru here because of the elevation change at high speed, the front & rear are flip flopping which has dominant grip, so it's going back & forth between under & oversteer as is Counter steering off all pedals is not unusual on this corner, staying in the brakes even slightly can exaggerate the issues the suspension deals with

No it’s an American car 🦅 🚤

Watch the full video on ny channel. The yoke poses zero issues. It’s always only an issue for those who haven’t driven it for more than an hour

@@StevenPeeterspfff, yeah because you palming the wheel was clearly ideal. You uploading exact failure of this shitty yoke, and you went full brakes mid loss of traction like a nub.

Oh and you’re no wearing a helmet, zzzzz

@@logan594 it’s not a full on track day

@@StevenPeeters You have to admit it’s kinda funny defending the yoke, when you had to palm it while trying to correct.

The driver was pretty inexperienced. He braked while going in this corner, any car would've spun out

I was about to comment this. He definitely thought he wasnt going to make it lifted and boom almost into the wall. He got lucky

..his foot was still on the brakes..

It wasn't a lift off. It was city car driving: he realized, mid corner, that he's too fast and pressed brake a bit harder. Since it's an electric car, it doesn't use much brakes but it was braking with electric motors. It's a heavy car, since he was already in the corner, his car mass was pointing mostly to the front right wheel. When he pressed brakes harder, it shifted it's center of the mass to the front wheels, lifting the rear wheels that lost traction and then the spinning started. If he just lifted off, he would understeer. Centrifugal force always wants you to shoot out of the corner/oversteer. Oversteer is always with an extra force that starts the rotation: throttle, brakes, curb that sets the car off the balance or something on the road that makes tyres have different grip (e.g. ice or grease). He started spinning because he hit the brakes in the corner and in panic pressed more. Basically what started the spin cannot stop it but we think "braking= putting the car in balance" which definitely is not the case

At this section a simple lift can make your rear too loose. No car at all has understeer here. This Genius also doesn’t go straight over the bump bevor Schwedenkreuz - what you shouldn’t do either. This Guy just don’t know the Track - maybe his skills from Gran Turismo only.

Wrong, casual.​@@jappiestacks7161

Thanks. But more luck than skill I believe.

@@StevenPeeters Was there an issue with the car? Why did you have the correct over the crest like that on the straight?

@@aec258 Recording a more detailed version tomorrow (hoping to release it too), with more info and the aftermath (which I can already say, was kind of surprisingly minimal)

Save? Lmao all the luck in the world! Made a great video in the process

​@@toetsenbordridderbro froze up 😂

Yeah, I don't think that's particular to this car alone

What you talking about? Obviously the tires spin backwards …

Wtf no! The wheels spun the other way because the Tesla was going backwards at that moment 😂

@@rb26nate no, it was a miraculous Tesla ESP-function 😀😀😀

@@Markusgebvor 😂😂😂 I hear ya. All hail the mighty Tesla!!

Allemaal engelse comments en dan opeens deze nederlandse😂

1. Because it's fun 2. None of the things you say make any sense. What unsprung weight? Do you know what that term means? And tires get shredded on any tradck with any car. That's never a reason not to go on track.

Yoke was not the problem. Neither is it in daily driving

@@StevenPeetersno it was the fact that you fucked up your braking

Just lift at the crest and none of this would’ve happened.

@@cribwalkgenetics9826 youre joking right? never lift at swedenkreuz.

​@@pear7869you can lift & even countersteer, what you can't do is still be on the brakes as he was

Not at all

Not really. Yoke is not the problem at all

@@StevenPeeters true... but when you'll have track skill on some lvl, you will drive with normal wheel :-D

You need to experience everything at least once in your lifetime 😁

The tesla saved its own life. . . .

I agree, but he caused it. That throttle liftoff as he got scared is what did him in.

​​@@cognitivedissonance2264how so? I'm not really into teslas... Does it have some kind of protection counter measure to avoid a Crash or sum?

​@@rafavsky9126think he means stability control and such, but at that point thats too late for any assistant lol

So an EV revs and has an exhaust? 🤨

Thanks. But more luck than skill I believe

Check the other video of Musha driving my car and being impressed. Sure, it’s not a full on race car and you cannot hide the weight. But keep in mind that this is a very comfortable family saloon to start with. I don’t know any other car that has this dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde personality.

Misha don't use Helmets on everyrun. They just don't know how to drive that car at that speed, with that atitude. That's it.

That’s why the title says “almost” 😉

Sorry I'm visually challenged. I read up to nurgurgring.

Indeed 🍀

I did watch many videos and prepared well. Just a mistake in the moment

it is a counter intuitive corner @@StevenPeeters all are ok, not even the car scratched and next time it wont happen again im sure ;)

@@pear7869 I even have a video of our first lap that day, where I talk myself through the entire track and the lines to take. Will publish that also at a later point, as it might help others (even though I'm not a Ring expert in the slightest)

dont think that matters, just as long as the information is valid, it may only serve for good things/preventing a few accidents maybe @@StevenPeeters

He didn’t have a clue what he was doing, been and driven the ring, very lucky not to have a big accident 🤔

La voiture n'a pas de bonnes capacités pour les virages j'en ai une moi même cette voiture est parfaite pour les ligne droites uniquement

The yoke was not the problem

Sure they did. The yoke was no problem here

🤣 not really. Check my video with Misha on my channel. He was really impressed by the handling

And yet it still spun like a carousel 😂

4 laps vs 6000 laps. 🙄

@StevenPeeters Hey, I'm not knocking you. I've driven that corner with 1600kg and 400bhp ICE Car and know it's tricky. 1000+bhp and a heavy EV is even trickier. Once it starts to slide, that's a lot of weight to get back under control. You did it... so well done for that.

I took this simply as a data point and analysed the event ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W2AHwaHf3kY.htmlsi=tMqCMURJ_PZxLG2s
