After seeing that man out on the track, he has a great feel for his car. I only wish I could drive as good as he can. Glad nobody got hurt and that sweet car can be rebuilt.

Andrew does indeed have a good feel for his car. He has plenty of laps under his belt in it and knows how it is gonna perform. Things like this happen and it can get away from anyone, thats for sure. Despite the Laguna vid from back in Nov. and this most recent incident....I still trust him behind the wheel.

I suggest some time on gravel to sharpen up that steering input... Best way to learn to control that ***.

Oversteer is very controllable.... undrsteer is the thing that'll kill you.

It's only terminal understeer that kills. Understeer before that point is easier to save than oversteer. That's what makes FWD cars easier for beginners to drive on track.

Ok, that 80mph 4 wheel power slide you and I got into was cool. LoL, and when I looked over at u, u were just chillin...still bull****in about the car. I think uve had enough time behind the wheel and on the track with it to know the feel of the car. By all means, driving schools and so forth cant hurt, but like u said, I think ur doin alright as is....anyone who laps a GT2 is doin somethin right.
