Duelling Nobles at Spa: PHTV

A demonstration of why lifting in high-speed corners isn't a sensible course of action...

---

Spa is a scary track in any car, scarier still in a flame-spitting Noble if this clip uploaded by Tuxman is anything to go by. Just as well there's plenty of run-off at Pouhon, eh?

Watch the clip here.

Here is the full length video if anybody interested .





Spin caused by over heating rear toyo 888's rather than lifting off .

Why did the car following pull off track as well?

Hahaha. My question does read like a joke, I guess.

It was a serious question though as on bike TDs we're told very clearly that you never pull over like that, or stop on track, unless you're the one crashing / breaking down, or instructed under a red flag to do so by a Marshall.
