Oil slick at 90mph

I think this was luck more than judgement.

Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

Pretty much a carbon copy of me hitting oil at three figure speeds last weekend at Castle Combe...except that was a right hand corner on the fastest part of the track. Not massively fun, that guy did a great job of keeping it out of the barriers :)

Great job of keeping that on the road!
It looks like one of the bigger audi's, A6 or A8 perhaps? In which case, an even bigger pat on the back! :lol:
You can see by the way he first corrects it that he thinks it will only be a small slide and then has to go back and put more lock on :o

That's an A4. Bloody impressive driving though!

He was more than lucky.

There was no one else near him, he had a good car and again he was very lucky.

It happened something very similar to me but on a very tight cornerto the left and I was doing only 50 but I ended hitting the guardrail with the left side of my fiesta. It wasn't nice at all.
