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. ------------- |

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.

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!
