A lot of the crashes there would be avoided if in the dry slicks would be fitted instead of normal tyres which cannot live with the forces put out at the 'Ring.

There's a turn that new drivers miss. It's a RH uphill turn which starts with a long downhill str8 coming off a LH turn.. The run off is gravel.

200TW tires make more noise as you approach the grip limit and are more forgiving to catch an oversteer/understeer situation than slicks that are more on/off. The crashes would be avoided by people who don't know what they are doing driving well past their abilities. Some of these people don't even have proper position on the steering wheel with their hands, or distance to the steering wheel, etc. Most of the people you see smashing up their cars likely don't even understand what the traction circle is or slip angles are in regards to grip level. |

A lot of those bods that went off the track appeared to have traction switched off, big mistake. |

If you can handle over/understeer on street tires, you'll go quicker on slicks. Otherwise the crash just happens at higher speed.

LOL. The cars in the first video seem to crash at not very high speeds. The E30's seem impervious to track conditions.

Looks like a mix of poor tires and poor throttle control with a healthy smattering of overconfidence.
When your tires are screetching like that and the car is going the wrong way, yeah you done gone and screwed up. |

You're correct and that goes on the street too, if someone pulls out on you and you can't brake in time then hit them rather than steering away to get hit from the side and going into others and yes the white M3 had no or little damage hitting armco head on.
