Hmmm, think I might put the spin out down to operator error rather than the car at this stage.

Came off a right hander into a steep descent with a left hander at the bottom. Tapped the brakes before I'd begun to make the transition and the car kept turning right:rolleyes:

The back end passed me on my left and the car span 270° on the spot.

A few other people had come off in the same spot by the re-entry mud on the track.

WRX's make good lawn mowers judging by the amount of weeds that came back in one person's spoiler. :mowlawn:

Some photos of the day. Jodie's compiling all the video at them moment, I'll post a link when it's done.

looks like an awesome track Pete :)

There's a downhill section you can't see from this vantage point that's just crazy. The locals have dubbed it "Oh Sh*t". It's sort of a roller coaster descent.

I don't work my brakes this hard on the circuit normally, even in the wet I could smell the brakes when I was coming off.

Video's up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ7EGwl0Igc

Soundtrack is just whatever Jodie was listening to in the car at the time :)
