Who crashed?
The OP. He has a for sale thread for a 180 being sold for parts.
Must have lasted a week at most?
Just saw

Lol, It happened to me about 3 times over 2 years in my 1.4, one of those was doing it on purpose in a safe place. Two emergency stops.
He really must have been driving like a Boy thingy, just saw the crash photos! lol!
The crash was not my fault :s
I haven't explained what had happened yet.

Aye, my last one was in 1996... long may it continue.

#54: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: Quarmbo, Location: Bristol & LeicesterPosted: Mon Aug 02, 2010 9:02 am ---- What actually happened then?
#55: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: Ape, Location: Clipping the Apex!Posted: Mon Aug 02, 2010 9:12 am ---- I only had the auto hazards come on when I was on track, but they'd turn off once I started accelerating. I never had to press the hazard button to turn them off.
#56: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: shaker, Location: AustriaPosted: Mon Aug 02, 2010 9:21 am ---- I don't have this function.. But i have ESP
I'm surprised by the difference between ESP on and off, when on track.

What you mean suprised. ESP is good or bad ?
#58: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: shaker, Location: AustriaPosted: Mon Aug 02, 2010 11:14 am ---- ESP is good for normal road use.
On track, the first 3-4 times i used ESP to get to some experience, and start learning where my driving-skills stop.
When i de-activated it for the first time on track, i felt a much more agressive turn-in, and it sort of wants power earlier.
(ESP cuts power if it feels the car is going too close to the limit, and helps prevent wheelspin.. atleast that's what i think?)
Always remember though, know your personal limitations!!
Seen a few cars spin out, and worst case was a Porsche Boxster that got totalled - never got to chat with the owner, but it looked like the rear started stepping out, and before he could correct it, one of the wheels got on the grass and from there on, you're basically reduced to being a passenger..
