I don't even think that was a save, just off the gas and he got lucky!

Wow, that's a close call. Glad to see the car survived it.

He didn't save ****, and that guy can't drive... Look at his line all the way from the beginning until the spin... That spin was the driver's fault, not the car, and he got damned lucky...

I don't think it was all her fault. It looks like she came up on a slow moving car (possible a GT3), hit the brakes and lost it. Granted she should have kept her eyes down track, but that other car seemed to be moving way too slow. To me, it looks like she did a good job avoiding going up someone else's ***.

Alex, Look at it again... That line was horrid... Way late.... I agree that the driver of the GTR was overcoming that car and lifted, but it was way out of line before hand. He or she was way offline...

You're a much better driver than I so I will defer to you with respect to the line. It just looked to me that the cause was the car in front limping along in front of her.

Hoping to get out to VIR later this year. Looking forward to seeing you out there.
