Of all the tracks, at least it is a track that being a little loose won't bite as hard.

Did you have the controls on just out of interest ? Just interest to know if the management system let the vehicle extend that much in some of the corners...

The systems will allow a good amount of rear end rotation if the driver is on top of it. It’s only if the inputs do not match what is necessary to keep healthy rotation that they intervene.

I was at Streets CCW and came in to the corner at the end of the main straight after being side by side with a Z06 (which I pulled on). I over cooked the entry speed, I was sure I was going off track, some how, some way the systems knew what I did, braked individual wheels, and forced the car to turn in. I was jaw dropped at the execution.

No, all traction and stability systems were off in both videos.
The one when it was sliding around was with tires at 38 PSI hot pressure, and the hot lap was done with 32 PSI hot pressure.

I autoxed my touring for the first time on Friday, and found it to be a bit more tail happy then expected. It was simply a matter of adjusting to it, so not a big issue. I was also pleasantly surprised there was little, if any understeer. My car has stock suspension settings. I was also pleased to see that I was only a second behind my brother's highly autox prepared 996 GT2 with Hosiers. We also had a drag race and his car was only a 1/2 car length ahead thru 3rd gear. He has put his car on a dyno and has 500 wheel HP.

That looks like a cool track, any tracks like that in the US where you can drive at night with the lights on (and walls are not right on the track)?
