That wall looks unforgiving.

Are there walls made out of concrete that ARE forgiving?

I was thinking it was one of the new "soft walls" :-) I really did not recall it until I was looking at the video. I knew the tires had started to go away and the car was bad loose. I actually brought it in about 5 minutes before the end of the session. I figured I had a decent qualifying effort earlier in the session, it was not fun trying to drive it and I did not feel like hitting anything.

Nice recovery. I'm sure if you hadn't noticed that wall much before, you did after getting a good close look at it :wink:

Going through South Bend at VIR-F the tail started coming around mid-turn. While counter steering like mad and fish tailing the rest of the turn and down the hill. I noticed that tire wall to the left I had never given much thought to. Now I know where it is and what it looks like. I'd like to not visit it and find out if it is a "soft wall"...
