Can you complete this sentence?

"In a spin..."

because most of the drivers in that video can't.

Both feet in.

I was terrified to see how many people just continued to let the car keep rolling, most times back out on to the track.

"... don't bite the tongue don't bite the tongue don't bite the tongue..."

Really, that's what I think pretty much all the time.

Mustang. Fast enough to give you confidence that you're a race car driver, but probably on all seasons with squish-o-matic suspension. Go too fast into a turn, lift of the gas or hit brake, back into wall.

I think it would be subaru's to be honest, most mustang owners can't comprehend corners, so they don't do them. The brotatos think they know corners and that AWD makes them invincible. Oddly enough, a scooby was the only car in the vid to fail badly enough to smack the outside wall instantly, slide umpteen billion feet, and still managed to cross the track and hit the other wall.

Bellow is my favorite video on the 'ring, best car control I've seen in a street car, you can hear his rear tires sliding up on the curbing in some of the corners: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yYVcCisk6g0

Many of these could have been avoided or mitigated if the driver's simply followed "if you spin both feet in"

We should start turning on our hazard flashers for a crash or red flag here in the states.

Right after a car hits the guard rail and rolls to a stop, I hear the driving instructor's voice in my head asking, "Do you know what you did wrong there?"

There are loads of Youtube compilations you could do it with...

A bar up the street from me has internet connected TVs. My friends and I go every pizza and wing night for some food and beer. We usually watch 30-40 minutes of touristfahren fail compilations and pick apart what they did wrong... Before moving on to a full race.

If you want to see some great vids search this nurburgring touristfahren compilation on youtube. That search term will bring you lots of links... Also click on the users other videos. They often have more.

OO i got this. In a spin, unbuckle your belt, pull the door handle, and tuck and roll. Then, stand up and flaunt your previously mentioned bell bottoms.

Did I get it right?
