I think I was in third gear. Was nearly at the limit of third before I breaked. Did not brake enough however.
Roll cage made my a mate of mine in Burnie. I did almost get to try it out.

Ooops, big one but glad you're OK.

Your original comment said you went in too fast. I was freeze framing the clip from mid corner on and its light in the rear from about mid corner but no exhaust smoke so I guess you're off the throttle. Then theres a little pit of smoke sugestting you're getting back on the throttle before the rear has got some balance back and it just kept going around with the wheels pushing it along towards the trees. Then you're undies went brown :o followed shortly after by the brakes locking up :wink: followed by a huge plume of dust. :cry:

Not being picky I was just analysing the sequence following Al's comments. At least you were having a go and not pussying around :beer

You can hear it when you come off the throttle. This unbalances the car mid-corner.. back on the gas and around she goes.

Oh yeah, you can too, there's sound *slaps forehead*
BOV sound as the car passes the camera and you're already turning.

looks like an awesome track..

Actually looks like what Cookie said, you blipped the accellerator too much which moved all the weight to the front left, then when you went back on the throttle the back right spun too easy and oversteered.. If you'd eased back onto the throttle a little later you might have been able to take the corner at that speed........... Thats just from judging the video

I will have to work on more jentle movements of the accelerator around corners so as not to upset weight transfere too much. Interesting observations. Usually jumping back on the accelerator gets me out of trouble but not this time. That perticular corner gets a lot of people unstuck.

The crash was only on my recky pass, it was not even a timed lap.

Looks like you were having heaps of fun, might wanna look for a better wheel/tyre combo... they look a bit skinny and small.

Good to see a staz getting DRIVEN :) keep it up!

does your staz have LSD?
Watch your speed - It's virtually impossible to pick it out of the carpet if it gets blown off the table.

No. I dont have an LSD, wish it did, sing out if you know of any for sale. A LSD may have got me out of trouble.
The Tyres are a bit skinny.
I like to give the car a hard time.
