Hard crash with a Subaru Impreza on track (incar)

[leo_26782]

Looking at the dashboard, it isn't a first model impreza for sure.

But it must have hurt

ya doesn't even sound like a impreza. interior looks like an evo's

Damn.... bad crash.

Dash could be a civic? Not a boxer engine from an impreza, that's for sure!

missing the braking (listen to the engine, he stopped accelerate a few moments to take a good line for the braking) => very unstable...

60G : quite possible, the guy was about +150Km/h, and crashing at that speed is not a good idea

I think it may not just be lift off oversteer, the track surface might be a bit uneven (one side elevated a bit) setting off the rear, he's should definitely change into a lower gear and step on the gas during the slide. (but of course, that is just a guy typing in front of a computer, I guess I will prolly end up in the same place if I were him). Luckily he's ok, but a side crash like this, the neck muscle usually sore for days.

Very possible, impacts tend to get silly g's. Highest ever survived is somehting around 120g when an indycar hit a wall. Its in the guiness record book i think.

Still not sure how he did that. Either aquaplanned or something broke. If that was simply lift off oversteer then the car set up would have been completely undrivable. He's hardly pushing it.

Surviving 60G's is possible but onbly when it is very short-lasting. A normal human can survive up to 9 G's for a longer period of time.

Caveman? I don't know, I just can't put my finger on it :roll:

From my expert opinion that is deffinately a 92-95 civic from looking at the interior. Thats all i can give you. And it just seems that the rears started hydoplaneing and you can't do much once the rears have no traction.

That is definately an EG Civic. If you listen carefully, you can even hear the VTEC engage in the high revs. I don't think it was turbocharged, because I used to drive a turbocharged honda, and with boost - they accelerate much quicker than that (didn't hear a blow-off valve sound either). He is however running some sort of special gearbox or Limited Slip Differential, as Civic's don't usually have that whining sound.

You can hear him lift, just slightly, while hes turning right. That's enough, in low traction conditions, to send it around. I'm assuming since he's tracking the car that he's got a stiffer than stock rear sway bar on the car. If he didn't adjust it to its softest setting then that would make it easier for the rear to come around. My thoughts anyway.

If it is a civic, the "monitor" on the dash could be vtec controller.

Hey, I had an accident like this with my VW Jetta VR6, except the road was dry. I had 90-100 km/h and when I came out of a curbe, another car was coming from the opposite, and he was on the middle of the road. I tried to avoid the accident but my car lost control on the edge of the road and I turned right 180 degrees just like this guy and I hit a linepost with the rear left door. The electric cables came off .
I have pictures if interested.
