ingham 5 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 nasty accident good job he had cage , im so glad i have cage now, i am starting to think that if you are using anything better than road tyres then cage is a must IMOi am thinking of window net also now Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Id say there's mmore chance of an off happening with road tyres than R888s and the like Link to post Share on other sites
ingham 5 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 yeh but you are going to be going much faster on r888 in crash and its more likely that tyre will grip and turn car over a road tyre with slip more, Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I cant understand how tyre will grip so much that it will flip your car.......only hitting something sideways will do that on track or overcompensating on trying to correct a skid.....or digging into a sand trap at proper tracks.We had same argument when that vid got posted up a few months ago of that jap car rolling.If you go into any corner too quick regardless of tyre you are gonna get into trouble.I've never heard of anyone rolling a car due to running sticky tyres Link to post Share on other sites

ingham 5 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 a car with race tyres can hold more g in corner so the chance of rolling car is greater road tyre is not able to hold as much g so it slides, so less chance of rolling car on road tyres Link to post Share on other sites

cabrioman 6 Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 have a agree with craig on this cant see sticky tryes makeing u roll if u get into trouble only way u roll is hitting something as he said or doin some thing stupid like using the curbs on a track and braking .....

Jamesr_VR6 0 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 have a agree with craig on this cant see sticky tryes makeing u roll if u get into trouble only way u roll is hitting something as he said or doin some thing stupid like using the curbs on a track and braking .....I have thought at it and the physic's as well as my own view on this disagree,The thing i can liken it to most is lets say int he context of sticky race tyres and road tyres both being used on a flat surface race track??Now if you take a square piece of wood and put it on a shiney surface, and lets say the wood is shiney also, therefore giving the friction between race track and tyre the similarity of a road tyre (as compared to a sticky race tyre)If you give the block of wood a shove what happens?? it will slide along the surface and wont stick or roll overNow if you add a thin layer of golden syrup to the underside of the wooden block thus creating the extra friction caused by a sticky race tyre on a race surface and go to push it along the shiney wooden surface, 9 times out of ten it wont slide of all but it will roll or flip over.you see where im going with this??The chances of this on a race track being the core reason for a roll is absolutely minimal because you have to factor in speed, weight of vehicle, body roll, g-force generated, negative camber and surface etc etc..My point being is the theory in itself is correct, but highly unlikely Link to post Share on other sites
