The lift wasn’t his problem, he snatched the next gear too hard and then didn’t counter steer enough. That and he’s just an idiot that shouldn’t be driving a bmw. ---

looks like he may have had 2 off on the turn, probably hit the pavement again and that also contributed. lol either way, know how that feels. lost the front end of my ef hatch on wet roads. ---

At first I was going to say, “Even the best crash” but that guy is a tool. “I have the wheel turned at about 30 degrees now seems like a good time to shift” THEN HE DOESN’T EVEN ASK THE OTHER GUY IF HE IS OK! What a tard. Was that guy his instructor or just a victim? Even when he was in the grass he barely turned the wheel.WTF? I would have been 2 feet deep with the wheel locked hoping the ass end hit the tires.:biglaugh: The title should be " Why you don’t lift in a corner when you don’t have a clue." That reminds me, have fun at the track guys. ---

I learned my lesson at auto-x the first time I ran my MR2, came into a turn a little quick, lifted and took out a whole slew of cones. Good learning experience for sure as the same situation never happened in the AWD car I had previously driven. Hell, I would purposely lift in my Talon to get some predictable rotation. ---
