Joshua Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Here's a link to a video of a Corvette spin in HPDE 4 / TT at a recent track event at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Enjoy! Quote
TurboShortBus Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I can guarantee that the blue #26 Mustang in front of you also banged the left tires off the curb! I remember watching that one in the mirror just before entering turn 3. Watch the Vette's brake lights. He's on the brakes, off the brakes, starts turning in, gets on the brakes for a second while turning in, then loses it at the curb. He might have already been transferring too much weight to the front just before hitting the curb by being on the brakes. Or, maybe he got back on the gas too soon, and the curb just helped it go around. Mark Quote

Trevor57 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 What are you guys talking about? I thought you are supposed to jab at the brakes right at the apex. Quote
Aardwolf Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Could have been TTO (trailing throttle over steer). I've been on the berms a lot! Def stay off of them in the rain as the paint is hella slippery! This Corvette jumps berms! Quote
