That's not exactly the best of plans.
Yep your right, but you dont realise how good they have to be untill you 'have a go'

Even in the dry part the track is still greasy, I found that out early on the Monday when it first opened. The track just didn't feel right at all compared to Sunday and you could really feel it. Wasn't safe at all.
At least you didn't do to much damage to you, the car or the armco.
It gives you a false sense of confidence!
Like i say i were following the 3 series for a while and could see a dry line developing, (around the so called 'wet line' it were full of leaves and general shit from the days race before) so it didnt seem to good to stay in that! Saw the nissan tanking so thought track must be ok! And it was, using the proper line, lots of grip and not a twitch from the car, it really stuck.....then out of the blue, back end comes around
I tried my hardest to control the car not to really smash into it and thought i did a pretty good job tbh, as i didnt even crack a light, which is usually the first thing to go.
Yes i bent the steering and im not driving it atm, but its an experience and people come off alot worse when the conditions are good.
Cheers mate
