Oh, how I wish that were true! I was going to put on the slicks, as it had stopped raining after lunch, but I got engrossed in conversation and stayed on the street MPSCs.

Yes! The engine in the back thing. I believe you could call this snap oversteer. Good question regarding my M3. I would like to think so, but... who knows? If I had lightning fast hands and reaction time, and amazing car control, I'd be doing this for a living. Sadly, I am not.

It's funny how complacent we can become with ourselves. If I had been in the passenger seat instructing, I would have been chastising the driver to keep off the curbs, yelling "It's raining you fool!" Those curbs get super slippery well before the tarmac!" "Stay off them!"

nice vid and driving... glad the wheels did not catch in the dirt while sliding sideways.. phewww.

once you put the yokes on even in a sprinkle you have to avoid the gators like they have spikes on them... especially at laguna.

good save

Glad nothing major happened. Just shows us the classic example of staying off anything painted on the track

Chiming in with the rest; definitely glad you and the car are fine, great learning tool and great driving otherwise. I'll use this as a reminder to keep disciplined as I progress with my driving. That car sounds incredible, too. Sheesh.

If you're not careful and attack that particular curb too aggressively, the rear will kick out even in the dry.
