80% car control, 20% luck :) I should have spun, but I was tap dancing on the brake and gas trying to avoid it. I certainly wasn't hammer down and trying to steer out of the spin.
Ya, but no steering input means you spin :S especially going downhill like that. Watch any real star mazda video and you'll see how much less grip those cars have.
Good videos you got here mate :)

0:57 how did the car not spin out fully? I think the down force modeling is a bit unrealistic.
Also, did anyone else notice all the BMW banners? Where the hell are our bmw's?! =p

No Sparky, you can force understeer by pressing the throttle and brake at the same time. You may need a touch of opposite lock too.

Nice video. That's was a crazy start to your race. I can't count the number of times I've spun outside of turn 1 like that at LRP.
