Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Also, I had an instructor along for the ride, so that didn't help the concentration much.
Thought some of you guys might get a kick out of this video clip. By all means, let me know what you think I did wrong. I'm thinking late/lazy turn in.

I owe a huge thanks to my fellow track "rat" {the guy with the camera}. He's following me in the AcquiredPerformance vehicle. More about that here:

Heh-heh-heh, at least no harm done and it looked like you had fun
.
Here's my shot at an answer. You came wide of the apex. Late turn in, too hot, not enough brake, need to trail brake.....you name it, you were at the wheel.
Maybe best to post it at the racing forum, where the pro's live.
Looks to me like you turned in late or did not turn in enough causing you to miss the apex of the turn and thus throwing off your exit and causing your off road excursion. I am not familiar with that track but that is what I would say.
My $.02
You probably misjudged your braking point, did not look to the apex nor through it for where your exit point was either. You didn't even come close to the apex you could have put down more throttle when you felt it going wide earlier while looking through the apex and you would have not gone off. Proper technique is more than anything. Learning to note your braking points, then looking at the apex, then through the apex at the exit is 100% the additional 10% is remembering to do this and looking as far ahead as possible. Also, smoothness and proper techinque are a must. Go slow and get that down, once you do the speed just comes.
Hmmm, looks like you ran out of track. No apex, just a nice lazy corner. At that speed, you were doomed from the moment you didn't turn the wheel enough
Thanks for feedback. This did scare the hell out of me. I have only been off track once before and that was in the Panoz school car at Road Atlanta {Jean-Marc, I couldn't agree more, that is a beautiful track ... almost as nice as Tremblant}. Both off tracks taught me just how important it is to NOT try to get back on the track ... just go for a nice straight ride until the noise subsides a bit.

As far as speed goes ... later in the day I was doing the same speed or faster but with quicker and more aggressive turn-ins. Just before this "incident" I was turning 2:15's. The next day I was turning 2:04's. What a blast!
