Thanks for your comment nightSpiritUK. I spinned the car because I came a bit fast, with the Porsche pushing behind me, I was a bit wide in that corner where you have to either hit or come very close to the curbstone on the right, and if you don't, you can run into trouble. Some suggested I lifted my foot from the gas pedal, but I am not so sure about that, especially to lift if enough to cause the spin. But that is warning, respect the Ring or it will bite. This is my first rwd, so I learn :-)

@StephMX5 Ive spun in that same spot with my previous car which was a 89 CRX, but now i have a 2000 SE nb ;) i loove these things soooooooo much

that's smooth driving and great quality from the phone! how do you think the spin happened? just looked like the car was unbalanced from the previous corner...I've only driven a 4wd car round the past few years and think it lets me get away with not much talent, hoping to take my rwd car this year and seen a lot of spins that come from nowhere!

Thanks guys. I do not know what is more scary, the 360 itself or the fact that it did not scare me when it happened. When the car went, I counter steered and found myself looking at the armco barrier, seemed like forever, and thought, I am fine, I am fine, I am still on the track, and then the car slowed down enough and spinned around, back in the right direction. Wow, I think I'll never forget those few seconds :-)
