Here's a very short video of the car going a little sideways at the end of the pit straight... I'm in 5th gear foot to the floor, so would estimate speed to be around 90+

May have been a slight off and on, just to make sure i didn't run out of track...

Although this wasn't the first time and the others i didn't
some of what makes it look like you lift, is when the tyres recover and you get full 4 wheel grip again, the car bogs down and the steering snatches as you've just been on full lock....

you mean apart from:
- the fun,
- the adrenaline,
- the risk of stacking it,
- the money involved,
- the gravel traps / walls
- the groupie girls
- the friendships

..... just like it

Seriously though, there is a huge step between hacking around on a track day and thinking you are fast and doing what Mike is doing and proving you are. Well done Mike.

Hopefully with the forthcoming and ongoing tuition my own driving can improve to allow me to give you a run for your money
