This is the second time I have spun the car at the exact same spot on this track. Separate events on different tires.


Too much trail brake? Too much speed? Both?

Tires are BFG R1's.

Spin is at 4:10, the rear just steps out, so hard I can't catch it.

Similar deal in this vid, different spot on track but I do catch it(barely). This is the same event as the above vid, same tires.

Save is at 9:06

Any help is appreciated.

For a set of linked corners, like that one, the important one to get right is the last one - the last corner leads into an acceleration zone and the entry to that corner should not be compromised.

For example, in the first video:
4:08 you've turned in too early, are passing the apex of the right with the car lined up and driving straight for the next apex. Try turning in a little later, and don't unwind at the apex - ie you want to line the car up parallel to track right at the exit.

4:11 you are already at the inside track left and you've just started turning the car, and you have most of the turn left to get around. On a proper line you would well over to the right, and already have the car rotating, for a much later apex.

4:13 your hands are lost, time for both feet in and slide straight off, there is nothing to hit out there. Someday you'll be doing this with one or more cars right on your tail and they need to know which direction you are going.
