In Poland we call it parking scratch XD

100% mechanical. Like others I noticed the car start to turn on and then it suddenly went straight on. Credit to the driver for posting the video, sorry that you get people questioning your driving skills. It takes balls and commitment to drive fast at the “Ring”, I like driving fast but dont have the bottle to drive the Ring.

Is it just me or you can hear it coming pretty early in the video.. there is a strange whining noise which gets louder and louder by the minute and it finally snaps.

You had a really good run, that was so unexpected at that fucking spot, almost brought it home. It seems mechanical and not a driver error

So sorry to hear about this... Waiting for you to come back stronger. Last lap of the weekend, last corner, too much bad luck...

Airbags are what gives you the shock from the whole accident imo. The loudness and smoke makes it worse than it actually is.

Mucho ánimo amigo no hagas caso de la gente q cree q lo sabe todo nadie es perfecto y menos en un circuito tan complicado como es ese. Gasssss✌🏻✌🏻

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo and in the last corner , what happened?

The front left suspension snapped. at 945 you can see the front brake caliper position is downward compared to the proper position. this its not tie rod or lower arm as the car wheel is not at too much of a twisted angle. this can only happen if the front suspension damper has failed or the top mount failed. instantly giving his car mega positive camber and removing all the grip from that corner. I am very familiar with both the mqb cupra and s3 and i can say for certain, the front top mount design and mounting angles are flawed for the MQB especially when you lower the car. which he seems to have done. . either he is using an aftermarket shock and topmount combination which failed or he used the stock top mount with lowering springs which twists the top mount in angles it really hates. trust me. been there, done that.

Would like to buy your head unit and display

Bro I am soo soory about what happened I wish you the best!! And ride and stay safe!!

I was there that day, I saw your car, I was the last guy passing with a Ford c-max (XD) before the track got closed, the most important thing is that you're ok: stay safe

That's sooo unfortunate :-( Loved your cupra videos. Glad you and your passenger were ok. I'm curious what your next track weapon will be.

Pilota muy bien, mala suerte en ese cambio de rasante. Usted es muy rápido en pista, me alegro qué no fue grave, ninguno resultará herido.

Glad you two are alright. That was even worse than losing a car on oil. Hope you are insured!

Send this car to any eastern european country with 5k € and you will get your car back looking like its brand new maybe even with your old bodypanels xD

So sorry to hear mate that this happen again. Hoping nobody got hurt. Poor Seat, rip. Keep strong.

Damn bro again.... what an amazing car it was this seat Leon coupra bro

Glad you're ok! You had many amazing laps! How fast were you going? ~200km/h?

Man that sucks!! It does look like a suspension/steering failure as your steering input did not changed.

Beau tour. La maîtrise est là, t'as pas l'air de découvrir le circuit ;-) Je ne te connaissais pas avant, t'as gagné un abo de plus :-D Vraiment dommage à la fin, en effet ça se voit direct que c'est mécanique ;-) J'avais pensé à la direction dans un premier temps, mais la piste du pneu qui éclate est plus simple. T'as plus d'infos, 10 jours après ? Et vous deux, pas de dégâts ?

Looks like sth broke? Or did. you decide to go straight mid corner?

8:23 something broke off

Nonnnnnnn 😭😭😭 l’essentiel c’est que vous ne vous soyez pas fait mal .. le reste c’est du matériel ... courage poulet

Bon courage, rien de grave pour vous c’est le plus important. Du coup c’est bien le pneu ?

Nooooooooo :( :( so sad for you - yeah, that looks like the end for that car. Freak accident and nothing you could do, but I did think that you tend to ride the correctors quite a bit and that cannot be good for suspension components. Hope you manage to get yourself back up and that you can somehow cut your losses. It has been very nice to always see you drive - get another Cupra! My 300 4drive is currently being repaired after a brisk encounter with a sidewalk on a rainy day - they will change the whole rear suspension components.

Breathing in all the lovely stuff from the airbags

I'm so sorry for you. I was watching every new video. I'm a seat leon user. I hope you get your car repaired. Waiting for new videos. God bless you.

Sorry guy, good driving, good lap

Aie... C'est vraiment dommage, on sent que tu la maîtrisais bien et que tu connaissais le Ring... J'espère au moins que tu retrouveras vite un véhicule à ton goût qui te procure de bonnes sensations !

Bonne video les gars continuer comme sa dommage pour le crash sa arrive au meilleur bonne chance

Crevaison ou suspension avant gauche non ? Ton pneu frottait pas contre la carrosserie ?

Understeer combined with outward angled turn is tough to beat, i learned it the hard way on snow 😢

Glad you Guys are Ok

Shew! Glad you all are ok! Sounds like puncture? Can hear something grind moments before. So sorry.

brakes while turning, a little overspeed on that turn which is tilted caused understeer, too soft rear springs? That car is understeering all the time at exit corners...what do you think?

Shit, shit, shit! Such a shame, Thomas. :( I know exactly how you feel right now. So good that you are o. K. personally! Will this damage be covered by your insurance? What exactly happened there? Hard to see or imagine for me... And have you plans already for a new tracktool?

Pas de soucis avec l’assurance pour rembourser ? Vu que c’est sur circuit et voiture pas tout à fait stock :)

oh dear everything was going smoothly.. sigh at least you guys are safe

You turned the wheel and the car started to go straight. Was it a steering motor blowout?

Ohh boi :( Hope you're back soon!

Salut, qurstion assurance ! Comment cela se passe t il? Ton assurance intervient elle si c est une couverture totale ? Merci de ta réponse

J'ai eu un pincement au coeur, désoler pour ta bagnole surtout sur le dernier virage du circuit. J'espère que l'assurance ont rembourser l'intégralité des dégâts l'ami !

I hope bows are ok.. its not your fall.. That things happen dont worry about that.. You drive very well.. What wheels you have?? Looks good in your cupra

Heureusement vous deux n'avez rien c'est le principal. Dégoûté quand même pour vous, le Nurb est tellement impardonnable et bon c'est aussi pour ça qu'on aime ce circuit et qu'on est conscient de ce qu'il peut arriver. Bon courage à toi et j'espère que tu retrouvera vite une nouvelle machine.

Is it cheap tires you drive with? your tires are singing..?

is it possible that with the gap you lost directionality ?! because at some point the car goes right.. or too fast..

Une page qui se tourne, mais l'aventure continue ;) A bientôt mamene

Tu la change a chaque fois ou tu fais réparer ?

Be good to know what failed and why

Hmm looked like the steering failed 😨.. you alright?

Well one thing is clear, they sure drive like the Frenchies 😂😂😂

Bonjour, j'ai également une Leon Cupra (pack perf) et je voulais savoir si tu avais remplacé tes durites de freins par des Avia ? Si oui est-ce que tu peux me dire si c'est des spécifiques au pack perf et ou les commander stp ? Merci

Axle broke. He steered right with the steering wheel still turned right the car all of a sudden drove straight. Right before that you can hear a snap of it breaking.

Any idea what went wrong here? You were doing so well. Sorry for disturbances.

When you get understeer, rattle the steering wheel left and right to gain grip again.

that happens in my leon.. it happens if you break too sharply whilst turning your wheels, they just go in the direction your turning away from same thing happens for loads of front wheel drive motors - one lesson i learned is to break before the bend :D

dommage :( tu va la réparer ?

Nice pilot , Congratulations.............

Your wheels did go flat before the crash i think

Comment ça se passe niveau assurance, le fait que tu sois sur circuit n es pas un problème?

The car looks realy good for that speed

Je savais pas que tu étais français ! Perso je pense que le fait que les roues ont bloqué, ça t'as envoyé dans le décors Triste pour ta Leon T^T

Ptin courage mec! D'où l'importance d'avoir tjrs des bons pneus quand on fait du circuit!

Merde... La casse net dans le dernier virage... Mon pauvre, qu'es ce qui à céder ? Courage à toi et belle humilité de montrer ces vidéos 👍

If You are afraid and lift off it will go bad. 😵😬🤕 (How do you repack an airbag?)

Pas de bol, dans le dernier virage! Elle a sous viré d un coup. Crevaison? Gravier sur la piste?

òuch. the car is not damaged that bad. the speed was a little bit high for that corner, mistakes happen, you are driving very good, so keep it up.

Vraiment désolé de voir ça, dernier virage, incroyable.... On se demande si le destin est pas contre nous ? Bon retour en MX-5!

Tire failure, or steering failure?

Navré d'apprendre cette nouvelle, mais vous n'avez rien et c'est le principal. J'espère que vous pourrez vite remettre les pneus au Nurb 👍🏼

Y a de la casse... Navré pour toi, ce sous virage soudain est terrifiant, une casse de suspension sur ta Cupra ? Ou la direction ? Tout semblait bien planté pourtant.

You really where flying,any mods to the car?

Damn you have seriously no luck on this Track, hope it is not so expensive to rebuild

Hi Thomas, As i saw in the vid you are well,this is the main point!!! We can buy car anytime!!! Is it clear what happened with the car,what part gave up?!

dégouter pour toi !! ta vraiment pas de chance pour le coup, bon courage pour la suite !

Pas de chance. C'est quoi une pièce de la direction ?

Dommage beau tour. On voit clairement que quelque chose a céder.

Had the same happen to me. On forza. But seriously, this sucks man. Hope you can get back out driving again soon ;)

Did the steering fail? Track rod end etc glad both of you where ok

grave dégoutter pour toi en espérant que tu vas bien

Tie rod failure?

Bad times. Not sure I’ve ever seen anyone crash on that corner?! What happened?

Bonjour a toi. J'espère que toi et ton passager allez bien. J'ai l'impression que c'est le pneu ou la suspension qui lâche ? Je ne vois pas d'erreur de pilotage... En espérant revoir très vite tes vidéos 👍

la direction a lacher si j'ai bien compris ?

Salut, bon j'espere que vous n'avez rien et que ca reste du dégât matériel. Tu peux m'expliquer comment ca se passe avec ton assurance ? et combien cela coute avec le Nurb ? Merci et bonne continuation mec

Hope your both OK.

Look like brake failure. (brake tired?) or something wrong with brakes in general

The automatic box increased a change and shortly thereafter reduced at the wrong time of the curve breaking the trace and throwing it out .. that is why it is preferable with the sequential levers only in sport driving. I use a translator. I am sorry..

C'est quoi le détail du problème, le pneu qui à lâché ok mais, c'est du a quoi surchauffe ? C'est quoi la référence du pneu pour pas qu'on l'achète !

Sad story .. nice car.. nice driving skills! Material damage...

Je ne sais pas quelle est ta conclusion pour toi, mais pour moi ce n’est pas le pneus qui a lâché mais plutôt le bras qui tenait le pneus après la secousse on entend très bien le pneus frotter contre le garde boue Bref tiens nous au courant tu as gagné un abonné et surtout tu maitrises super bien ta caisse/ circuit

So sad I'm so sorry :(

At least it was a good experience for you after everything that you can understand why people make warmup tour. Only the bends need to be well known.

wtf just happend? brakes or suspension failure?

I may be wrong but that sound like a terrible wheel bearing, if that goes your wheel does not fall off but becomes very loose. Like wobbly.

In Turkey, if the airbags are open then we call it is garbage (pert) even it has a small damage.

En la última curva que putada.. Ánimo y a volver más fuerte

Trop de risques inutiles... ton assureur doit être content.

Feel sorry for you... is it me or did the noise of the tire(s) got louder the closer you came to the accident? Maybe a tire failure?
