I disagree tbh as I said I never spin 3rd on the road but was easily spinning in 3rd if I wanted too up the strip.

Yeah boy did I see the crashes. Our stand was at the finish line of the strip, twice I saw a car spinning out of control at about 100mph or maybe more. Was madness! I've never seen anything like it seems like every ran out of talent that day.

I queued for about 2 hours for my 2nd run. A R5 Turbo shat it's oil onto the track so it was shut for a while so they did some stupid competition. Then about 3 cars did runs then an RX7 & Ibiza Cupra from the HKS Series raced, the RX7 started fishtailing about halfway up the track, Ibiza panicked as he thought it was coming into his lane and hit the wall, RX7 span out but didn't hit anything, so had to wait even longer for that to be cleared again. Then missed 3rd on that run anyway

HIGH POWERED FWD CARS HITTING LOW 1.9 60FT. THAT MEANS THERE WAS GRIP

As I say, I span in 3rd on track, I don't spin in 3rd on the road, so IMO, there wasn't much grip

And at what point have I said I'm a professional racing driver. I've had the car a few weeks, never launched, never done a quarter mile, please try and find where I said I'm professional, I'm just stating how the track feels to me

So you could spin at 100mph? Ok mate
