Welp, I quickly learned that things get dicey if you exit that same corner in 3rd gear with DSC off, as the following video shows. Keep in mind that, a lot of cars go off there, left & right. Yesterday, an E46 M3 spun there and hit the wall on the left side.

I'm very glad I did...especially in light of what almost happened at Thunderhill this weekend...

Nice catch guys

This is what car control is all about!
