So I figure a good number of us participate in some form of motorsports, from Autocross to Track Days to Road Racing. I want this to be for your current videos of happenings with your car (so don't go posting every F1 and WRC video you find...)

This was my quickest run from this weekend's autocross in Birmingham:

That was a combination of mistakes. Wrong line forced me to lift off throttle shifting all the weight to the front and lightening up the rear, then I put too much steering input in on an off-camber corner. One of the things I REALLY like about how the car's set up right now is if you're in tune with it, which I am becoming increasingly so, it's REALLY easy to toss and catch the car when she doesn't want to obey orders (which isn't often)

See this weekend's class winning run for example. There's a couple places (offsets after 1st sweeper, and after the final long sweeper) where a very small, sharp correction is all it took to keep the car pointed going where you want it to:
