911Jetta

It's interesting how much tighter the car turned into the corner, after the rear started to break loose. The spinning motion seemed to suck the car into the inside barriers.

When you're at the wheel, you always fear the rear is going to come out and go wide (across the road).

Does the C2 and C4 handle the same in this type of turn/run-off situation?

Btdt. Just not on the ring. Looks like early turn in didn't style the car and get back on throttle to set the back end. In a 911 you need to be back on throttle before apex. He also looks hot for the corner but I don't know the track.

Anyone who has tracked a 911 has had this happen.

After watching the video a few times in looks like the driver realizes he is going into the braking zone too hot and late on the brakes then maybe panics. See the picture I attached - the car is sideways well before the turn-in point for that corner.

This spin occurred at the same section of the track where the Koenigsegg One recently had it's ABS failure and went over the outside armco. It's the heavy braking zone just after the foxhole where you can achieve some serious speed depending on how long you are willing to keep the throttle pegged, easily 125-140mph in a 964. This area of the track always has 2-3 YouTube guys filming due to the high number of incidents.

I been tracking my 88 930...

After hearing all the stories, I am shocked how difficult it is to make the car spin. It takes some serious provocation...

I left the heavy spare, and the heavy battery, and have a fiberglass rear bumper. That, and wider rear tires, make a difference. This car doesn't seem any more prone to spinning that a BMW...

The heavy spare, large battery, and a full tank of gas are about 150lbs in front...

looks a bit too much of a ****** over steer to be brake/weight transfer related at that point on the turn, I wonder if it was a less than ideal rev matched downshift that pushed the rears beyond the limit of grip?

lucky outcome whatever the cause.
