Spec Boxster Build

Here is the video.

I came into the corner behind on everything: behind on braking so I'm carrying too much speed; behind on downshifting so I'm kind of trying to do that and brake at the same time; and behind on steering so I'm chasing the slide instead of catching it. Once I got that far out of phase or sequence, its impossible to catch up, and the best I can do is to try to recover - and in this instance I wasn't able to do that.

I had 4 hours on the drive back to LA to beat myself up about making this mistake but all I can do is learn from it and continue to work on becoming a better driver/racer. And yes, racing does imitate life.

Nothing worse than have nothing but time to critique & brow beat yourself.

Brush it off, get back on the horse and continue to be
Inspiration for all the 986forum folks.

P.S try not to tuck your thumbs in the steering wheel.

I think you should be happy you didn't damage the rear quarter panel that bad. Finding a black door and fender in California shouldn't be too hard.
