yep its a pretty narrow window ... and if you go early then you are aimed at the berm and grass track left on the exit, so you either go "agricultural" or try to make a correction after the apex ... and the car is at speed and light because of the off camber and crest ... so things get "interesting" ...

its all part of the magic of the ring!

I would have loved to see her hands and how rapidly she reacted to that incident, amazing.

Hmm... I may be wrong, I assumed that since she has access to the "Frikadelli" GT3 RS she would not need to have her own...

I was one of the lucky batards that got laps with her that day. After that little excitement she took a break and after some thought declared that her mistake was taking a line that she'd do on slicks. As she was on the OEM Cups, that proved to be the wrong choice. She obviously handled it beautifully and kept on trucking

And it was her personal RS.2. She drives the ring like she owns it, loved it!

That's what Larry Cable observed about the line, too.

She's an impressive driver to both observe the mistake and to have the self-confidence to talk about things openly in "public" with her customers.

rost12 - Why did she then give rear tire pressure advice on her own car at the end?

If you're talking about her comment in the video, she was just guessing at the time. She checked pressures after that lap, they were fine.
