Nearly killed myself - Dangers of running too low

[Ed Doe]

Oooooor, someone was driving a little bit too much as his title suggests?

Thank god I'm not the only one thinking it :roll:

Seriously, soft set-ups work well in the wet or on shit roads, as is abundantly clear at the off-road end of the spectrum. Conversely at the other end of the spectrum; f1 cars are shit on anything but a smooth track, as the suspension travels millimeters, and is very very hard.

If you set your car up hard and/or low, you're going to have to expect that it won't handle as well in the wet, or on bumpy potholed roads.

Imo one should drive to the cars abilities/set-up and to the conditions. Which from the sounds of it you weren't.
