I think that's what caught me out in Billy Mitchell the last weekend-- I was having too much damn fun sliding around, was jerking the car around, prob not being as fully focused as I should have been given that I was jerking the car around, and I overdrove the tires through there. At least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
