Normally I take the middle of the track to 13, but sometimes I overshoot and go to the right a little bit. This usually isn't bad because the entry to 13 is very forgiving. I wonder if the far right side between 12 and 13 was greased over by a previous engine detonation or covered with dirt. I do remember that whole chute looking a bit dirty.

You know as a racer that even the most catastrophic driving errors can be accepted if the driver can understand what happened. What is most unsettling is when something occurs and it's hard to figure out. Like, how do you prevent a repeat mistake in the future?

Chris - I studied that part over and over again as well. Your turn in seems absolutly fine. But it looks like you get on the power a little early. The back end steps out just a smidge. I didnt think anything of it until the "smidge" got bigger and bigger and bigger and the spin.
I just couldnt believe it went for 2 whole turns! haha.

By the way - I noticed you drive your line very well each and every lap. Kudos!
