.... where do I start.... I saw first hand when I was chasing a R34 GTR around PI. It was before Lukey Height, he might have lift off or something. And he overcorrected it and spun off. The grass next to the track was like ice that day (or any day I imagine) and his car went striaght to the tyre wall, writen off the car. We were prob doing around 150kmh (mid 4th gear for me...) before the spin.

Then a few session later, I had the back wheel on the dirt coming out of the Southern loop, running too wide. Doing about 130ish kmh at the time. Spun and went all the way across the whole width of the bitumen, across the grass patch and landed in the ditch. The front end came off and damaged an oil cooler, the wheel was bent too. Lucky it was repaired within 3 weeks for the nationals the following month. Still drive the same as I had one of the best lap time I had at Winton. So no real damage.
