Both feet in at 95 mph. (Notice the gas filler flap come open?)

nice hands on that. I guess once you decide to just take it all the way around, you stop countersteering?

Lol just a biiiiit late to throttle ...

That bump has caught many out...

g-50cab

was thinking the same thing... 4 feet further out

Never been to Sebring but none of my mistakes ever ended that positive. Not sure if that was luck or good thinking. Glad you survived that one and could continue on.

Was this at the Chin event this weekend?

Amazing end to a pretty out of control situation.
Everyone likes to focus on turn 17 and number 1 can be the one.
Wow.

I did exactly the same thing as this two years ago. Except my spin was about a foot off that wall, but ended with no contact. Definitely a high pucker factor!

PLNewman

Yup, Chin. The thing about Turn 1 is there are walls on both sides of the exit... so once things start to go bad, it really doesn't make sense to try to save it with steering correction. If you can spin it straight, you might survive. But those walls are mighty close.

Sounded like you were totally coasting there . You can't do that and keep adding steering...especially over the bumps

My experience has been that I need to be on power from the apex to settle the car over that bump PLUS I need to free up my steering to float the car over that bump because at least two of your wheels will be off the ground.

PLNewman

Turned in 5-feet early so was maintaining 5K maintenance throttle. But I should have heard the tires talking to me and released some steering. Totally driver error. No doubt.

Veloce Raptor

Back end is too loaded up with that much steering and that high RPM. That's why the back came around. Try a higher gear and a lot more throttle...

agree on the throttle comments above but in addition to that your speed doesn't seem crazy high so I wonder: where you on slicks? not warmed up yet?
