Thread: Driving Techniques For HPDE Beginners and Amateurs - WHAT NOT TO DO

    I tried to find some old rollover pics, couldnt't locate it. But one of them was a 5-series and the roof had collapsed in a rollover. The roof was level with the bottom edge of the windows. Most evos I have seen roll, remain pretty much in tact, but you know the saying...."better safe than sorry"

    Supposedly, the non-fixed back seats are collapsable under certain circumstances. I don't see how a rollover could cause the seat back to collapse though.

    my fixed back is higher than my head, so in the event of a roll over and the roof collapses, I would think it would actually help prevent the roof compressing my head :lol:. If the force is so much to break or bend the seat, im probably fubared either way

    Just remember. With your helmet on you are a couple inches taller in your seat.

    Learn from your mistake: Start off with spin-outs then power slides.

    There are instances where you can lift to your advantage, but that is a more advanced technique. FWD guys use it alot. Once they get understeer they abruptly lift causing over steer and they immediately get back on the throttle to hold the car from spinning. Pretty gutsy in an evo at any fast rate of speed.
