Thanks. The interesting thing is that it isn't really a tank slapper; what happens is that as I start to turn in while going way too fast, the tires start to slide so I intentionally unwind the wheel which let's the tires gain grip again; then I re-initiate turn in, and the tires start to slide (again), so I unwind the wheel (again); then I repeat this a third time just as I am coming to the apex.
The reason that I made it though the turn was sliding the tires 2-3 times, even for a moment each time, scrubbed off enough speed to allow me to make the turn exit. Otherwise, had I maintained my original teering input, I would have spun the car on turn entry; or if I opened up the steering such that the car didn't spin, then I would have run off the track at turn exit (as the car in front of me did).
