Another track event with my BS

Took my BS out this weekend for a track day and had a terrific time chasing down a F430, check out the video.

Thanks for posting the vid.
Looks like you got it right at 1:44 and you can see your car was at least one car width to the right of where it was when you spun at 3:42.
The obvious bump made the rear end light at the track positon you placed the car which caused enough rotation that overwhelmed the sterring part of the car. In other words kind of like rear bump steer.
Have you adjusted the compression of the rear shocks? If not I'd dial another two clicks and see if it improves.

Thanks guys appreciate the comments. I really thought I had a chance to pass that Ferrari so was a bit anxious getting on the gas before the rear settled. Good lesson and luck that I had no damage.

I use auto as don't really like the paddle shift, a bit too slow for my taste. Yes, it does kick down a gear if you floor it but I cannot remember if it did it or not when I lost it.

I've had that comment a couple of times but the door was closed. The panel gaps on the car is ridiculous compare to my M5. I guess it is because of the bespoke body.
