[QUOTE="Jipster, post: 216802, member: 97"] Dudes.... what can I say.... this happens when you are not concentrating. When you go in too hot (too fast), rear wheel drive car..... rain no rain, F1 GSD3 kah, CSC2 kah, Toyo T1S kah, tire made in europe kah or japan, DSC, ASC or whatever alphabet soup you have ..... you WILL lose it. Its just a matter of how you recover from it. Chances are you will realise MID CORNER you are going to lose it ..... its the split second after that that is important.... how you react. Some cars are more explicit with its feedback on whats happening underneath, you feel you are breaking traction, usually through the steering wheel .... some cars are a bit numb you wont know until its totally too late..... those few seconds will mean the difference between stuffing yourself in the divider or not.... I speak with some authority.... very embarrasing.... went in too hot.... mid corner realised lost traction ..... panicked *blush* went off throttle, maybe even touched the brakes a tad .... felt the tail come around ..... tried to regain control probably several excruciating seconds after that but a little to late..... arms flailing counter steering left and right.... car did 360 i think and ended up facing wrong direction..... but managed to miss everything! just stopped in middle of road.... engine still running too :) .... Lesson learnt..... dont day dream, especially if you intend to go fast. My 2 cents... [/QUOTE]
