Very rare to see an GT2RS understeering and going wide like that, especially on and/or after the corner apex. Glad that you and the car came out "as ok as possible", could've obviously been a lot worse after all...

Even i m a beginner I can explain a mistake I did on nos the same way. I had a couple of car safety trainings that helped me to make this decisions. Shot version: 1. I'm probably to fast for this corner / steering in to the apax and softly braking 2. I'm definitely too fast / car understeers a lot 3. open up the steering wheel and going for middle of the corner / still understeer 4. hit the breaks hard because I'm losing control / thinking: don't steer in more, it doesn't bring back the grip (missed to open up the steering) 5. Try to go for the outline of the corner / ABS and ESP are working hard ( lucky that I'm let them on ) 6. finally the speed become such slow that the frontend gets grip while ABS are working. If I can explain desicions I made in many 1 or 2 sec. You, Robert, can do it even more. And you made better desicions then I did. P.S. this happens on my 3 lap ever at slowest corner on Adenauer Forst. P.S. this car safety trainings I did were very helpful !!! P.S. I was not thinking of unsettle the car. May be this is the difference to an experienced driver like Robert

@@tobiasz9090 maybe because a brakingpoint is comprised of many more variables and therefore subjective. Variables wich when done right allow for a certain line.

@@Tristan.R.J.M you're right if you go for lap times. I was thinking about beginners, don't care about 50cm but 2m. If you get a powerful car you got better breaks and tiers.

This is why I like riding my XT 250 in the dirt. It’s great cross training and makes my street riding better in so many ways. Sliding around turns using the throttle or making quick reactions through the bumps to keep it smooth, you can get more excitement in a couple of hours of dirt than a years worth of responsible street riding. Even track days don’t let you ride with the same “looseness” that is normal in the dirt. Those skills can serve you well in situations where you have to rely on instinct and are purely reacting. It’s great cross training.

Really enjoying the channel, nice to see the behind the scenes, all to easy for many to judge without knowing the full story. Hoping to come back on 2 wheels when lock down lifts but it would have been game over on a motorcycle with coolant on the ground. Keep up the good work

Robert, it has become your trademark, straight up, as it happened, and as transparent as it gets. I truly enjoy how you dissect this moment, and your "o-shit" moment face was priceless!! Yep I held my breath when I saw this beaut going off the track. The Bruenchen is very unforgiving off the line... Great content as usual. To all the keyboard Ninja's, it is the professional decency to stop right where the car is in mechanical trouble and warn the others, coolant on a track is like black ice... so driving of here is like "hit and run". You don't do that.

Excellent video analysis Robert, one of the best on track video explanations I've seen. It was interesting to know your thought process from the entry into Brünnchen, to seeing the dust and knowing that you have to scrub the speed off, whilst checking up track for the other car. Then having spotted the coolant and leaving you with a tough choice of do I stick the car into the barrier or try and push though. You did well to hold it and drive away with so little damage. I had to watch the onboard video a couple of times before I noticed the coolant on the track.

Robert, excellent driving with second nature reflexes. Thank you for candidly sharing, appreciate the detailed analysis of your "instincts" at work. Absolute valuable learning and wonderful save. Glad the damage bill was relatively controlled in the grand scheme of things, more importantly very glad that you were blessed that moment and only needed a change of underwear 💪🏼

It is insane the amount of clueless professionals out there. From the first moment I saw the original video I knew 100% there was a spill. That was masterfully handled Robert, and I wish I had half of your skill! Well done! Keep it between ditches:)

Great analysis of a scary situation... No one no matter how good they are can control a car that's sliding on oil/coolant... There's a few micro seconds where you have to think / react and execute ( training) and then luck comes into play. It seems like everything you did or didn't do led to you not hitting the barrier and once you stopped bouncing all over the grass/gravel you checked the rear view mirrors and drove back onto the track... This was a combo of doing the right thing and not doing the wrong thing in equal amounts... Glad your OK that's what matters most and glad car was not significantly damaged. Such a horrible feeling being in a car that's sliding and you know there's nothing you can do. Interesting facial expressions also. 😉🤔😁

Well done Robert this just shows that instinct as a driver pays dividends, this skill separates those who can drive fast in a straight line to those who can save a car in a split second under challenging always changing conditions, for me as a driver you have this skill or you simply do not, this is what separates a proper driver, especially the do I bin it or try to save it and always thinking of others before yourself, if I might hit them I will bin it, if not then try the save, I have had instances like this on our local track and to be honest it separates the ones who have it to the ones who do not it is night and day! Love the analysis of this always honest and open. Good Job :-)

Wow! Congratulations! Not many people would have the skill, experience and luck to pull that off. I can only imagine it was not so good for the next guy who followed you. Thanks for sharing. I immediately thought coolant spill on first look at the video. It just looked like it hit black ice.

Solid driving Robert essentially driving around the hazard, particularly scrubbing off that bit of speed, an extra 10 km/h could have made things much trickier. And the Porsche behaved so well off road, you can see why they made great rally cars! Best of luck resolving the insurance issues.
