was only doing about 45 , back end came round , i had no way of holding it, so i let go off the steering wheel , moved both feet off the pedals and waited for it stop :( did a 360 onto the grass , another 360 on the grass , then another 360 back on the track backwards , dipped the clutch,whacked it in first, and kept going, was facing the right way, just :D
went back to the paddocks and put the other tyres back on. which just made it understeer , dried up in the afternoon and had 4 good sessions . . well worth it in the end :D
