Thank you all for the moral support and wise words, I appreciate it. We put the car up on the hoist today and there is absolutely no damage. Even the alignment is still spot on as we originally set it. Now off to Shannonville on the 30th; I promise to try and keep it on the paved stuff this time

fc-racer, thanks for sharing!

I see it as a good, lucky learning experience.

I had my own first spin last month. The first one in 6 years of tracking (Off at 100MPH) and it was great way to receive a warning and lesson learned without damage.

Here is some in-car footage from the afternoon, when I was calmer

This is a great thread and I will certainly keep it in mind when I take out the GT3 to the track again in June for the first time in almost two years. Thanks for sharing!

Here is what happened to a guy that tried to follow me in my RS (964 that is)
