Taken from Jacques R in car camcorder

 

Here is a good example of what to do by Tim P's

Spin was induced by a closing radius between apex and track out, then the rear wheels hit the grass accelerating the spin and making it a 720 deg one

Keeping both feet in  during a spin is a must, to keep a predictable trajectory for othe racers.

 

Notice how Mike G stays cool during the first spin till he hit the panic button realizing that thing won't stop turning. Ends up with a souvenir imprint on the bodywork of the right side of his car.....

OK all; We are back from Tremblant club race and we had a blast. Great people as usual, better weather than expected and a gorgeous track. I had noise issues though. 92 db was the max allowed and my car produced 93 db ( with 2 mufflers and a tip pointing down.... ) so I suffered 2 black flags. I experimented with a staggered tire combo and spent quite a bit of energy setting the chassis. No mecanical issue for a change though. My 3 qualification times ( 1min 48,595, 1min 48,570 and 1min 48,582 ) were very close. Good for 2nd, 2nd and 1st ex-aequo with Ike !!!!! My best laptime was 1min 48,28, a DM record ? I finished the 2 points race in 2nd and 3rd. DNF the fun race because of a black flag for noise while in 2nd position and a few laps to go. Only 30 cars on such a long track means a lot of solo lapping so I edited my videos and made one for the whole week-end Enjoy
