Chris I think he went to fast up the hill and got slightly airborne ,lost traction on landing and it was to late for him to go in to the right hand corner -just like weapons, cars like gt2 are not for everyone

I don't have any plans to drive on a track with my TT. Out of curiosity, what do you do if your car got airborne?

But if you go airborne, land straight (don't turn the wheel in mid-air), once you've landed enough to where the suspension is done unloading (bouncing, but not really relevant to your car), apply brakes linearly until control is regained enough to steer.
The biggest thing is to land straight (no turn on steering wheel), and don't floor the brakes in mid-air, because they will lock and that will make for an eventful landing.
Who knew that rally experience would be useful on this forum? lol!

Shame... You should track it, just so you understand why a lot of things are the way they are in the Turbo.

Many years ago my driving instructor was taking me to frozen ice field where I practice every day for two mounts how to control car under extreme conditions. I remember going back home after practice even in snow was like driving on dry asphalt .
