Been there, done that! Especially when some prior owner 'expert' puts a stock looking extra thick sway bar on the back of the car you recently purchased.

lol good effort.

To be honest I was expecting this clip to be of the corner just before (The Pothole i think it's called?), I did a complete 360 at just over 100km/h. Had to change my dacks.

Must be time to succumb to YouTube...

not a chance, i think i just kept going to fast into the corner, and have to brake too far into it to avoid going straight off, so its just brake oversteer + a gay corner

Hey, at least you still carried it! My first ever time at that corner in the Sentra after being told to take it easy (and after telling myself to take it easy) I found all the understeer in the world on cold tyres and went for a 270 and shamefully got back on the track and finished... ops:

Like Gecko, seen many take Pothole (the fun corner before) a bit too quick and end up facing the wrong way over 100km/h.. but for Kelford (the hairpin), unfortunatly there aren't any magical secrets - you just have to get on the brakes, and take a tidy line around the tight hairpin and get yourself in a nice position to accelerate out of it.. I learnt after f*king it up every time - just watch the NZV8s or Saloons do it - quiet entry, and power out of it.

You get your speed back for the S's shortly after it. anyway.
