I think that was probably me. Did you ever get that video?

Haha yup that was you. I need to ask my friend but I don't think he's uploaded it yet. I'll let you know as soon as I get it.

I just noticed your YouTube video. It doesn't look like there's a link but when I replied to your post with quote, it shows up.

Crazy video though! You did an amazing job of correcting because it looks like you would have hit that pit lane wall. Then you overcorrected and spun the other way, then somehow got out of the race line and out of my way. I was pretty impressed you somehow stayed on the track backwards. How did it feel to be facing the wrong way with me coming straight towards you? Haha!!! You looked like you had a lot of power, so I could see why you easily spun when getting on the throttle too early haha.

Well to be honest when I ended up facing the wrong way with cars coming at me I was just happy I didn't hit anything, and I was out of the way so I wasn't worried about the other cars. You did a good job getting stopped, thanks for not running into me. I saw the pit lane wall coming at me fast, thought Oh sht!, then I cut the wheel hard left because I knew there was a lot more runoff on that side. Somehow the car stopped just before going off track but it still felt like I was flying backwards. About that time I remembered how to steer and brake and managed to stop before hitting anything. Once I got stopped and saw more cars coming at me I started to get pretty worried because my car wouldn't start and I was just sitting there backwards on the track.

My car puts down around 400rwhp, but it has a surprising amount of grip. My cousin was telling me he had no traction coming out of that corner, but I had tons of traction. So I was experimenting with accelerating sooner out of the corner and I think I found the limit!
