it was 2pm in the morning and i was nearly there, just driving at 9/10ths placing the car to gently understeer before i apply the throttle to coax the car into smooth progressive overteer and ohhh F:censored:!!!!
The driver side rear wheel clipped the grass and as i grip the controls of this vehicle with my sweaty palms trying desperately to correct this monster slide. God this is going to hurt, my life flashes infron of my eyes and i cannot see any light at the end of the tunnel. Im doomed!!!! The Shiny steal wall glistening in the light, wanting to eat into my car and rip it shreads, is getting closer at an alarming rate. I try to squeese the last tiny degree of lock out of the wheels and it seems the enevitable is going to happen. I close my eyes in some sort of hope that it wont hurt as much and i will survive this ordeal then it happens!!!
The car has traveled through a whole 360 degrees of rotation as this all flashes through my mind then i see it, Can it be? The apex of the corner!!!! I drop a gear and floor the throttle, there is a horrible grinding sound as the drivetrain takes up the strain and the tyres start their struggle for grip. Its working!!! Its working!!! the car is just clipping the apex and the spin is loosing its momentum. Im gonna get away with this but in the same moment the car snaps round too much, i apply full lock again and the car begins to straighten. Im nearly home free, yes...yes....YESSSS im safe, Shaken but safe!!! I take the nest corner and bring the car to a stop. I sit there for a moment in disbelif. I turn and stare at my friend, smile and say " that will be £20 please"
I look proudly at my dark silver BMW Z4 gleaming on my TV wich untll thus morning i had never driven and how it had me smitten only a hour before. Who would have though i could get the thing around the Nurburgring in under 6Mins and 30 Seconds ( i guess the incentive of a £20 bet did the trick). Im deeply in love with this car now, its wonderful to drive, i have grown to love its looks and also we have become one through our great ordeal!!
Who would have thought a Z4 could bring much joy?
I encourage people to write down and share there driving addictions with the rest of us GT4 addicts.
Thanks for listening
