Nice saves. It does look like it oversteers. That track looks to have a lot of runoff, wish we had that on the east coast. I guess VIR is closest in terms of runoff but still plenty of nice walls to hit.

Might want to increase front psi or decrease rear psi.
Or try to get your turning done sooner....as in well before apex. Great video and editing. Great track for practicing car control.

It'll serve to keep me on the edge constantly. Plus, in MDM mode, I had to wiggle the steering wheel a lot in corners. So, perhaps Ricky is right about my steering input triggering some of the oversteers. Anyhow, at some point, I may try staggered setup (265f/285r or 275f/285r). Quote:

Anyhow though, I'm pretty sure it was slower than my previous time there (and, I expect it to be so for a while). Quote:

With so much runoff areas and only around 20 drivers in attendance, it was the perfect track as I start my DSC-off journey. If it wasn't so far, I'd be there once a month... Indeed. Screeching tires are happy tires.

Good track for car control.
Staggered tires would fair better for you here.

yea, pinching your exists will cause those spins. be really smooth as u get to maximum steering angle and if and when the car does let the rear out, you need to react much faster in counter steering.
The fact that this happened soo many times though suggests that you dont really have the feel yet for when the rear tires are beginning to slip, or when youre at maximum slip angle. Keep at what youre doing at chukawala till you can feel that perfect "slip" angle and basically hold it there. In the case that the rears do come out, try to hold the throttle where it's at and not let off or add more throttle too. Helps make the car come back smoother |

Actually, I'm going to say the OP has excellent feel of when the rears are stepping out. The fact that he caught it so many times is somewhat encouraging.
The "pinching" of the turn and the square tires are the last of his concerns, however. The reason for the spin and the multiple near spins is in the eyes. The fact he's making sudden hand movement on the ENTRY to a turn means he's not looking at where he's suppose to go. Most of the near spins happen because he's either way off-line or brought his vision back down because he's way off-line, and cranked the steering wheel in to try and get to the apex when it's already too late to get to the apex. IMO, the DSC/MDM has made him look too good for too long, and he's already picked up enough bad habits to last a lifetime. This isn't a problem that staggered tires will fix, but a fundamental re-programming of the driver is needed. Sorry if this comes off offensive. For all I know, OP may have been doing this on purpose and was just having "fun."

It doesn't take a lifetime to turn in correctly... Just some good coaching and seat time
It takes balls to post one's screw ups. Let's try to be supportive and constructive. |

It's all good. I appreciate the candor.
And, I know I need to fix a lot of things. But, that's what's making it fun again. At the rate I track each month, I'm hoping that the MDM muscle memory will transition to DSC-off muscle memory sooner, rather than later. Quote:
