When in doubt, the Almighty is always a go-to...
English speaking navigators truly are a gift from above. Rallying is so much more fun for me to watch when I can understand the pace notes being called out to the driver.
Nice Save!
Mark Higgins knows how to handle a loose Subie. Recovering from a maxed-out suspension-unload induced loss of adhesion at 150+ MPH on the Bray Hill section of the 2011 Isle of Man TT qucickly earns you hero status in our book. Gold star to his passenger, who barely blinked during the whole steering wheel shuffle.
To quote at .55 - "...and the biggest moment of my life there.."
NJMP + opposite lock = FUN
For anyone that is into high-performance driving, opposite lock is that magical moment before disaster. Either you save it and your a hero with god-like skills behind the wheel; or you're the punchline of the dinner time joke and the end of the day.
Whatever the outcome, it can only be enhanced if you had your in-car video records the whole incident, or if a passenger was present who can relay the experience first hand to all your friends.
Nirvana? Having both.
