Elise spin Nurburgring

[twistoffat]

well held. Thats a nasty bit of the track. You need to stay right and back off slightly on the gas when going over the crest. Many experience lift off going over the crest and lose the back end

[porscheland]

Can i have six numbers please ?

[rhauri]

So nicely done!

[giodrum85]

braaaaaaaavvvvvvvooooooooo complimenti!!!!!!

[TheRebelyellers]

yeah if you had controlably slipped the wheel instead of snatching it you prolly could have straightened it out but you kept it off the wall either way and its hard to process everything in these situations nice save

[nhitrac]

Funny how this section always catches me out in GT5 on the PS3 too.

... Yes I know, sad. But hey I live in Australia!

[shadyism666]

nice job keeping 2 hands on the wheel

[SBDTHRU]

You got lucky. You over corrected the slide way too much, surprised you didn't go into the wall.

[MrJungleboy58]

hell of a save bro, nice work get straight back on it as well, i may of needed a fag after that lol

[TopBunkGuy]

Im surprised you didn't pull off to change your pants!! Nice save man

[GaryWallaceUK]

Good Save! 

[WisconsinGrandma91]

nice save but to much steering ;)

[girolfe1]

Downshifiting in a curve.... :o( you were lucky !!

[umbo]

well done...very nice save...

[yxxxpepexxxy]

great save ! i think it was the fast clutch release no ? isnt that a dritign technique? hahah

[alamos8]

I know it was very scary, but I recon I laughed a lot watching this :D, as it remembered me a monent that once I also had with my bmw

[ck11997788]

having done somethingsimilar at 70 mph which ended up with some elise/hedge interface i'd call this a good save!

[AEddleston]

Brown Trouser moment! Nice save

[p1etroFerrar1]

well you know, when you get to analize that, after the fact it's always easy to say. Now i think you did very good anyway.

[Rio356]

Now Kids, thats how you save a car when you loose control, steer against the side the car is going.

[jmccmc]

Have any of those who have mentioned over correcting, or being slow with the steering actually driven a light weight mid engined sports car ?

Once a car like an elise starts to spin it is like wd1000 described, it can be very hard to gather up from a slide.

[LowGrip]

Schwedenkreuz most dangerous.

Take care at Schwedenkreuz and don´t shift down before!!!

But nice save!

[SrFairladyZ]

SAAAFFFEEE!!

[maurodanielsalgado]

Lack of experience it is, but grat job saving the car.

[wd1000]

A little off the throttle at the crest of hill... Car didn't like that, did it? Before criticizing about overcorrecting, you should know this car is like a slingshot when it lets go. A 911 this ain't. You usually can't get it back without changing hand positions. I think he did a noble job keeping air between the wall and his paint.

[LotusWestCH]

Beginner's mistake, too slow on the wheel. Happened to everyone of us, don't think twice.

[AdrenalineJunky17]

Lack of experience. Too much over correcting. Period.

[911zorro]

Too much of useless countersteering...less sometimes means more. With the 4 consecutive slides you´ve putted yourself in more dangerous situation than with the first unexpected slide.

Next time, take it easy, bit of countersteer and let it slightly slide out of the corner - you will make it much better...

[M5PowerM3Power]

Its very hard to do it in one of those little elises though. probably really twitchy

[mudaphucker]

he should of soft touch the wheel

[mudaphucker]

gran turismo....style

[alexkassios]

This is a very tricky turn. No downshift is required when entering, since you need to brake and downshift more for the next tigher right corner. Everything should be done in the straight line for this section.

[McMatt373]

nice save lol

[ZekenNekez]

Probably not, but I think that the major mistake here is releasing the hands from this normal position at steering wheel, because I think that could be possible to control the start of this oversteer without doing too much countersteering (enough to not necesary release the hands from the sterring wheel), but also I think that in this situation would be very hard to reaction with calm if we are not professional drivers... :)

[feotex]

That is control

[ekjae]

amazing driver. initially i thought you were going into the wall

[JDpetrolhead]

Amazing driver? Have a word! Nice save though

[tufflife1980]

very very luckly

[qu1z]

Good save but rev match.

[125zetecs]

great working saving it..but it shouldn't of happened in the first place. you should of rev matched.

[trackpig]

nice work!

[Nickjonn]

you lucky bugger hahah nice save though, good reactions

[LandserZZ]

shifting down in the corner ... use your throttle for balancing your rpm ... good reaction when the car overstoods=)

[fadeto1]

its not easy to drive the elise on limit...good work

[cgshand]

looks like the weight was upset by the gear change at precisely the wrong moment ( just before turning in). Very easily done. Been there twice now and the corners catches out lots of people. Best to brake in a straight line just beforehand and then pin the fun pedal again right through the corner. There's a famous clip of an MR2 having a nasty moment there. When I was there this summer two Brits flew off the track in a new Corsa VXR and were hospitalised for some time Germany.

[NorwayOslo]

Saved it well..

[pesopiumat4f]

che culo!

[KuostA]

sigh...you Don't even realize WHY the rear end slipped out do you? It slipped out because of DRIVER ERROR. You did NOT revmatch/heeltoe the downshift, and you locked up the rears, and disrupted the rear of the car, sending it out. That is the whole point of heeltoe/revmatching, to maintain stability on hard downshifts.

[stu2745]

I started to change down at about 100mph and the back end let go about 90mph.

I now stay in 5th and go through the corner about 100mph.

Someone on SELOC described it as "incompetant arm waving" :o)

I'll admit it wasn't very elegant but it was all over in about 4 seconds and I was very happy with the end result!

[LITTILDUFFLEBAGBOY]

@stu2745 it was like left right left right left right 180 lol but nice driving tho dude i would of it the wall but you knew what to do

[dino355]

Ive just realised what happened after turning sound on and reading your explanation!

[dino355]

That was bloody good skills to avoid crashing - well done! It looks like the rear came out for no aparrent reason? Was the track slippy?

[Frenc18rs]

In Italy we say: CULO!!!

[gfhfhrthsefsehtjgngd]

Nice save!

[noobtube82]

whoa brown pants moment! how fast were you going there? glad you didnt hit the armco.

[bm528turbo]

wow.. arab drift but done in nurburgring! 5 stars!

[williamjamesfrost]

could have been avoided with heel toe shifting

[Liakouras21]

Heel & Toe m8....lucky save!
