If you are going to spin thats the way to do it (staying out of the tyres and gravel) looked like he just lifted off. evo & Atom did look quick....

George was indeed quick, and the Bruce's Taxi EVO's are silly quick!
Nice spin by Matt there i think!
Walshy?!

Spent a fair bit of time lapping with the two white and yellow Evo Bruce Taxis, but they were very reluctant to move over.
I actually had to force my way through on the pit straight when they had no choice, but it was good to find them holding me up on both the corners and the straights, with N1 it was only on the corners.

Thanks guys...
The only thing I can clearly remember is the urge to chase the atom.

Out of interest, how can you tell I lifted? I entered the corner far faster than previously and *assumed* that my "moment" was caused by turning in too hard still on the throttle and the back stepping out to the left. Attempts to correct resulting in back coming out to the right before fishtailing and spinning 360 clockwise onto the grass. If there are any clues as to what really happened I'm happy to be educated though!
I could live with oversteer but I don't like the idea that I lifted mid corner. A mistake like that will end in tears one day...
The yellow elise (135R?) behind me must have had a great view of it unfolding...

I imagine, and others are probably better informed, but you probably didn't lift mid corner, you were keeping it welded to the floor, lost the rear end, then probably 'lifted' as the car started to slide, resulting in a bigger slide to catch....
Just my 2p...

yup, sounds like you got on the power just as the back end was going over the crest at clarks.... back end was light and it kicked out as a result...
nice pirouette at the knockhill ballet school though...

That was me behind you trying to guess which side of the track you would end up on:
