VIR Tank Slapper

Here is what you get when you combine cool tires and too much throttle at Turn 3 at VIR:

Nice driving. Curious what your PTM settings were when this happened?

I had it in Track/Race mode. I'm not brave or crazy enough to turn everything off.

Oh, yeah. Get on the gas a little early there and hold on!


Had a blast there with TNIA in July!

It was because of the gloves right ? Those saved the day, only kidding, that was a great save!

Nice save! Keep the throttle down and you might’ve had a nice power slide!

I’m only partially kidding though. Unsure how easy, or not, it is to control oversteer in a Camaro. Still shopping for my 1le!

The 1LE drives like a fat Miata. Incredibly forgiving and happy to hang out the tail whenever you like.

Autocross this weekend and someone watching my car said: Wow, that's the first time I've ever seen a Camaro not understeer (was getting some decent oversteer a few times). No one there really understands the G6 chassis or 1LE.

JD I believe you were behind me when I was on low pressures and cold tires in the Blue turbo 4 camaro trying to get away from you and ended up doing the tokyo drift lol. Thought I was going to loop it. Can you post that video or send it to me in a pm.

Yeah! Dave and I were impressed with the way you drove it out. Unfortunately my GoPro was acting up and did not record the final session.
