Great day for autocross. Small group of people and about 50 cars. 65degree weather. The MKI MR2 feels stiff with the new [used] Azenis 215s. First time driving this car. Thinking it couldnt be that much different than my old Celica...

First off.. we had to clean the mess that the Drifters made last week... [A holes!] Drift event last week ended with a SC300 hitting the WWII foundation.. or whats left of it.. 2 out of 4 walls...

Well to make this story short.. and understandable..

4th run. The tires are warmed up and starting to loose their grip. At the top of 2nd gear pegging the rev limited. A wide left hander sweeper. Starting to get sideways.. BOOM it hit me.. Snap oversteer. As I try to correct myself the Azenis finally gave out on me. My only choice was steer clear of anyone and use the 2foot rule. Brake and Clutch. As I step on them the MR2 slides with locked brakes to the WWII foundation.... frown.gif
