track and autocross oversteer is an expected beast at some point in time. my main worry though is when I experience it while driving spiritedly on backroads... trees, ditches, and poles do not play as nice as cones and sandpits.

I recently spoke with an exceptional former pro driver, instructor at mid Ohio school and friend. He said they won't allow students out on the main track in the s2000's anymore. This is due to the high degree of difficulty of recovering the car, once it's beyond just loose. Too much risk. Food for thought when on a spirited street drive.

Thing is, the class says they use the school S2000 so maybe he Scoots gets to use his AND the school S2000?
