CarreraGT Stars In: Dances With Cars!
Lol! Enjoy the cam out the back of my 2RS as Mr. CarreraGT puts on his dancing shoes!
Laguna Seca exiting T2. No damage done, so feel free to enjoy a laugh. And he always drives like that! (j/k, only some of the time)

That series of left-right jiggles--is that Salsa or Mambo? 
Glad it's all for a good laugh and nothing more. For the first 2 seconds it looks like CGT was about to pull off the perfect powerslide Top-Gear style!

I thought Mr. CarreraGT was still skiing. Glad he and his RS are fine.

What happened? Aside from gassing too early, did he lift the gas pedal entirely after the first slide which caused the unweighting of the rear?
What should one do?

It is a beast. I haven't been on track since November so I was getting my feet back under me and trying to remember how to drive again. By the third session I had already driven my best time ever on this track. Easy to be Superman with this thing under your butt.
Bit of a challenge to figure out what gear to be in compared to my 3RS. And I blew sound unless I short shifted (96 db vs 92 db allowed) !!! Sound guy said he thought it was intake and not exhuast noise
See the post I just did with me chasing a 458 Challenge car for a lap.
Looked like he was "carving the line" didn't it? I think there is a new line there now!
I kid because he is a friend and he was laughing about this too. And he is actually quite fast.

It was simple algebra:
slip angle + talent = line
... solve "line" for angle > 10 degrees and talent = 0
Anyway, I was just showboating out of T2 then tried to start what is normally a gentle weight transfer and carry a little extra speed through T3 but totally overcooked it. I think I had slowed down so much out of T2 I was far to slow for T3. So the job immediately switched to avoiding the car behind me -- I had enough time and space to lock ut up on the track, then the camera loses sight of my car just as you see me release the brake and loop it back around to keep rolling. I had to pit for a quick "this is not a drifting session" reminder and take a slice of humble pie, but at least I stayed out of the kitty litter.
The interesting thing was the driver of the red car behind me seeing all this unfold, chose to maintain pace, close the gap and drive past was I was still spinning ... there's no way of knowing if I even had brakes or if I'd just dumped coolant ... but he plowed through without even getting to the opposite side of the track ... would have been so much fun to get T-boned for my mistake just because that driver didn't want to take a defensive precaution and back off. So it goes.

Both spins; This one and the one unfortunate one at Barber show that once the start wagging you have to stay aggressive and quick on opposite lock untill you are really sure they are done waggin' the tail.
Both drivers seem to do the right thing, maybe too slow after the 2nd or 3rd wag?
Both cars have DEM and big fat wide tires and down force..
These cars are tamed, but can still bite.
