Word of Caution

Man, some of the people on this thread... The OP posted his experience, was honest about it, and half the people immediately act like he didn't know how to drive.

Man, some of the people on this thread...

The OP posted his experience, was honest about it, and half the people immediately act like he didn't know how to drive.

Going to HPDE events does make you a better driver, but it doesn't make you less likely to crash. That's one of the reasons insurance companies haven't supported them well. Good drivers often just reach further into their limits.

And I know - we should all keep it to the track. But if you don't like to occasionally go out canyon carving, why did you buy the car? A track car and a volvo would make more sense.

Thanks, OP, for posting this. It is a good reminder that even experienced drivers can lose it, especially on cold tires in this car. I was in the cold rain the other day and I had almost no traction at all.

Anyway, as you were...
