Oh yeah, I'm thinking of a different race.

Gingerman is warm & sunny, close to the beach and harbor.  Bring your trunks & sunscreen.

Re: Newbie goes to Benton Harbor-test post

Hi, guys!
I was one of the 4 all-rookie drivers on team Anonymous.  Turn 6 got me on my first practice lap Friday.  I avoided more unintended off-roading until about 4:30 on Sunday.  I was in some traffic and lost turn 9.  Oversteer, corrected and stopped with front wheels off.  On board video was not working and I'd want to see if oversteer started before or after letting off accelerator.  I'd appreciate any links to videos.  Here's all I got.  Can everybody see these?

Without seeing a video if you lifted in a turn you will over steer.
