Did my first track day in November and have my next in about 3 weeks. During the briefing and in the paperwork it was mentioned oversteer/powersliding was punishable by the death of your bloodline. Now the next car I'm getting is RWD and rather powerful.
What I'm wondering is, if I get on the throttle too early and the rear steps out, if I control it and carry on will I get black flagged? Am I expected to jump off the gas immediately? Or is it mainly to stop drivers yanking the handbrake at every corner and sliding around in a huge cloud of smoke.

Just wondering really. It crossed my mind.

Well seeing as you asked.....



No only joking, I'll be swapping my 330bhp newage blobeye STI for an E39 M5 in a month or so.
