So you admit to "showboating" in one breath and criticize the actions of the driver behind you for not paying attention to his crystal ball (maybe that's what the dash wart is for) wrt the showboater in front of him ... Excellent, I bow to your greatness (and post count too!)

Don't get your undies in a knot
Who is Pete? Don't make me the bad guy here, I was just pointing out the obvious. If you had left out the bragging about showboating and the derogatory comment about the poor guy behind you, we would not be having this conversation.
When I'm on the track, it's all about safety for everyone on the track and I don't think showboating is fair to others. As far as being snide, you get what you deserve.

Two Wrongs
Crystal ball has nothing to do with it. He watched Adam get out of shape and had more than enough time to slow down and wait to pass after Adam regained control. It was more like he was trying to do as his heros in Nascar do and weave his way through the mayhem. Difference is the Nascar guys have no time to slow down from 200 mph and they have a million dollars at stake. That idiot kept his foot in it and made a minor spin into very risky proposition. At a damn track day. If I had been in Adam's shoes, I'd have found that guy after that session and made sure he never forgets me!

If I were the guy behind Adam and I t-boned him because he was showboating, I can assure you that Adam would not have forgotten me ... I'm not condoning the guy's behavior behind Adam, I'm just saying there is no room on the track for showboating, the consequences can be deadly. Two wrongs do not make a right, do they?
knowing him as I do ... he is probably the last individual that I would ever suspect of such action on track...

I don't know Adam, but I took him literally when he said he was showboating ... No blood, no foul I guess.

Aussie I kinda agree, Carrera was show boating and doing and excellent job of impressing me until the 3rd tank slapper ;-)
A good LSD is a huge difference, It boggles my mind that Porsche does not put a more aggresive one in. Transforms the car. The only mod it needs.
I always lift. I know, bad. In an old 911 I would have wrecked several times. I found out that when the wagging starts you fight it aggressively with the steering wheel and when I "rest" my foot on the brake pedal it's like throwing out an anchor and it helps stabilize the car. Kinda my own invented SC I guess.

FF to 1:33 is the best example. This car had no LSD and no grip in the rear, the R888 where corded, but still I lift/brake everywhere and work the wheel..

I would advise braking harder, sooner and then trail off faster toward the turn in point.

Crap Adam you know if I had been behind you I would have gone by while you are prancing back and forth, done another lap and passed you again...
