tremendous driving by plato
linky
i can do that
marvelous bit of skill there
I wonder how many F1 driver's could have saved that
When I first saw it I didn't think it was that impressive, Prob just kept his foot planted, but then the second time it's shown I saw that
He was turning back into it to save it even when he was still losing it
Quality...
I can't see him turning into it. The wheels look inline with the car when he's sidewards. Just looks like he planted his foot and got extremely lucky.

Certinaly looks tidy enought to me.
- Theres defonatly some lleft right wheel twitching going on. Clearly some luck that it did all pull off, but simularly, i think even a good dose of
luck would have stuggled if it had have been me in the car!

I've always had RWD cars because I hate understeer (and love oversteer ).
Used to have a friend with a beater FWD who would scare the snot out of me by yanking the ebrake and getting the car sideways to the point that in a
rwd it was gone. Then just lay in the throttle and counter steer and it would pull out of it.
That is the one, and only place where FWD is better (and ya, Im sure that will upset someone here who loves FWD but they can't really argue that
RWD is better ).
Either way, nice save at those speeds.
Cheers.
Plato himself said that he was lucky after the race - his words were along the lines of "all I could do was floor the throttle and try my best..."
