Good luck or skill Jim. If you'd hit the grass that CS would have suddenly been lighter than the CSL

I will accept the skill compliment

, but its just reactions really, looking at it again, my arms do ok, but I have no idea what my feet were upto! I did try to steer back away from the oncoming traffic, I just think I should have caught it

Tbh, it made me realise that you actually need to pay a bit more attention when driving on track

It rained/drizzled later on and I was amazed how much harder it is to drive than the feckus in damp stuff, it was spinning the wheels up all over the place which certainly kept me awake

Classic tankslapper with the wipers going

Was it fluid on the track or cold tyres, good ahmm..save

Touched the inside kerb I reckon

I'd like to say that it started raining and that's why the wipers were on

it WAS fluid on the track, I knew about it, saw it happen, missed it the last lap, but then got it this lap

I am a little more respectful of these cars and people who can drive them now tho
