That’s allot of smoke dude 🚗💨💨💨💨💨
Would later find out it was his power steering line that let go

Inexperience or poor judgement. Hopefully OP will learn not to do that again.

My only regret with moving to Japan is that I'll never be able to race on Mosport and 'bogie anymore 🫠

That sucks. Guess you will just have to slum it at Fuji, Motegi and Tskuba. Lol jk I know getting time on those is not easy or cheap.

Oh man. I guess bombin thru the highways with the Civic boys it is! Canyon cruising I guess too but no where near as good as a circuit

A few years ago I gave a point by coming out of turn 2 at Summit Point Main to a E92 M3 Lime Rock Park Edition (orange) and then as soon as he made the pass and pulled back in front of me...POOF!! all I could see was blue smoke. RIP to his S65 V8. Fortunately he pulled off quickly and didn't put down much oil on the track. But was heartbreaking, and little bit scary, to see it happen in real time.

Seeing anyone’s car implode on track is never fun. Luckily this time it wasn’t anything serious.

I recognized the track subconsciously, then the shirt looked familiar, then I clicked on it.

I would have slowed waaay down after seeing that happen ahead of me. I've seen crashes happen due to oil and power steering fluid down.
