Sure, she's been to high performance driving school, even got to drive an F1 car, there. Best part is the company she worked for paid for it at the time. Bad part is that I didn't get to go.

My wife has done that. At an auto-x though not the track. Twice actually. In the same spot. On back to back runs. Not that I'm the type of person to keep reminding her of it or anything.

I encourage bec to spin. She auto-xed for about half a season. I told her if she didn't spin occasionally she wasn't going fast enuf.

Theres nothing to really hurt the car, and there's no safer place for her to get used to spinning.

What's wrong with spinning out the M3? Just as long as you don't spin it into the wall.
