I had an enjoyable, albeit short afternoon. I only managed three sessions, and they were about 10 minutes each, as after that I'd develop a misfire on anything less than full throttle, which made it hard to balance the throttle through some bends, and made a cool down lap impossible. After my spin at the end of the third session (video below) I decided to call it a day.

was that you that span nearly hitting the bank backwards at one point?

I had a few moments but luckily no spins, narrowly missed a red quantum that span in front of me near the end of the day!

I don't think it was me, though I may have been blissfully unaware of how close I was. I thought I just spun in. My spin was around 3ish in a green S1 Elise.

I think that was you then, but I was told that the elise nearly hit the bank? I think i was on track at the time, red flagged the session didnt it?

Perhaps it looked worse than it was. I watched the video again, and I don't seem to get near the bank, but the spin was at that point. The marshal did say something along the lines of "that was a close one". Oh well, I survived. Sorry for the red flag.
