That was ******* close!! 

typical lift off when you feel she's gonne too far when in fact you should mash the accelerator. totally unatural though. I had a lot of trouble getting us to do that myself but found a huge car park and practice a lot spinning the car.

Watch the language please, this is a public forum.

Kin,

Fair play, looks like you were trying hard!!! There aren't too many fellas around that would throw a car like yours around!

You sir, are a new breed of nutter!!

PS That camera mount is very good - so steady!

I know now to back off after having a trip off the grass. All those particles on my tyres could not have been good for grip.

Hopefully I will learn to react better in those situation and not go ape with the controls and turn my wipers on. It is all practice... I suppose.

Did you not notice that the traction control had been turned off? Seriously though, I think you were very lucky on the second spin. Its hard to see how the car came back onto the track. Looked like fun all the same.

I think Ludo has the right idea. Liffey Valley car park at 3am!

Wowee Kin - that 2nd one was CLOSE!!! You're lucky, though in fairness you fought hard to keep it out of the ditch!

I haven't commited harriKarri yet Killian! Bit miffed over the damage to mine, but it's only cosmetic - the paint isn't even cracked or scratched. If I'd a metre more to stop it would have been fine. And sure i've only myself to blame!  I was trying to trail brake into the bends and tis a steep learning curve with that stuff.
