As I'm here ... I am often asked "what is understeer" or "what is oversteer" - One explanation I use is "understeer is where you hit the barrier forwards, oversteer is where you hit the barrier backwards" which I think gets the message across quite well. But this short snippet, pinched from a much longer 9min+ video I think does an even better job.
Also shows a little oversteer, a stupid driver who walks across the track in front of oncoming cars and a VERY LUCK marshal. almost taken out by a driver who does not slow down enough for the incident.

Understeer
You can see a small stream of fluid coming from the left, a Porshe has either broken down or crashed here. Theres an onboard video from a car that comes by a few cars later and you can see there is even more mayhem after..john B wrote:Thats rather scarey..... I would hope all that action was due to something on the circuit and not just stupidity....

I'd seen that second clip before, but the first clip puts the mayhem into perspective...either way it looked expensive!!
