He could get to park it for 5 days of the week and elsewhere for the other 2.

locking up the brakes i believe
the track is tight with changes in elevation, and crosses over itself several times in that you have to go over the same bit twice

i definately do not remember any understeer on the day, as that would have resulted in an off
i don't really remember that instant very well but i do think it was my right tires that are producing the smoke, most likely from braking?

well it looks like you are preparing for a right hand turn....with turn on, on the wrong side of the road and your inner front brake locked up.....

wrong side of the road..? it's not that much wider than the car itself
probably a result of me braking later than i was supposed to. the tail did swing around iirc (or on one of the runs, each driver had 8 runs all up)
overall was quite an educational race day, a lot different to the normal circuit sprints
