How did the front end slide out? Were you mid-corner, entering the corner, exiting?

Btw, a temporary loss of control shouldnt necessarily be interpretted as bad...pushing yourself is the point of learning. Many people actually feel GOOD when they finally spin out, or go off track. They know they pushed themselves to the limit, and (hopefully) they remember where it is from that point on. Keeping yourself in a constant state of control without ever hitting any of those points likely means you have much room to go faster
RE: How did the front end slide out? Were you mid-corner, entering the corner, exiting?

At 21:10 in part 2 watch what happens. Maybe a little oil or something. Rubber from the line when wet. I don't know. I didn't mash it at all.

I like the concept of braking a little bit later and later. And yes I do have plenty of room to go faster. I like the way you think. Thanks
