RX-8 Spinning at Road Atlanta Turn 10

I finally got my video uploaded where I spun out at turn 10 at Road Atlanta last time we were out there. I was chasing a supercharged Miata and an NSX. Passed the Miata, caught up to the NSX, and went into turn 10 too fast. I was a bit faster than the NSX and I made the mistake of letting off the gas and tapping the brake in order not to hit him. This sent me into a spin. Nothing was damaged except my ego. Enjoy.

Couldn't quite see your smile in the mirror but I know it was there.
Looks like big fun. Good video, thanks for sharing.

It looks like you had a good line and could have kept on going.

How fast were you going, or your best guess?

I'm hitting in the mid 120's before going into turn 10. About 115 on the front straight before Turn 1, 80's going into Turn 1, hitting 90's through the esses.

Lego, Glad you finally got-er-up. Looks like the shift to 3rd was a little late? That Miata was scary close. Love seeing our guys run at RA. You always do us proud!

Oops! Yeah, guess we've all had our moments, good and otherwise. Glad it wasn't metal-on-metal. I noticed you downshifting just before the turn-in. Could that have been a factor as well?

Good video! Every wipeout makes you a better driver! (or atleast that's the case with MOST drivers)
