I'll write a more descriptive post in the future, but for now... this happened.



And then someone sprayed dirt all over my Recaros.

Well, obviously this happened. You weren't even wearing your matching euro-trash roadster scarf, as evidenced by the "moving picture sequence". Probably threw the whole car off balance.

My exact thoughts as I watch the sequence and wonder why his front wheels are still straight...

Opposite lock FTW

Yes, I get it guys. After the 5th person tells me to "turn the wheels", I think I've got the idea now...
I haven't autocrossed in 3 years competitively, and it's not like riding a bicycle when you change the bicycle to a unicycle.
