My Dad autocrosses and i plan to this year, i have seen the limits and you spin. My dad is one of the best drivers i know of and he can't even keep it from spinning when it decides to go, so i know thats dangerous, but thats in autox. so can you explain to me one more time why it is so dangerous.   |
Paul Frere, former LeMans winner and F1 driver, died recently. He never recovered from an accident in a new 06 Civic Si Coupe on the Nurburgring. He was 91, and a frequent contributer to R&T magazine; his last road test to appear in the mag was a comparison between an M3, ZO6 Vette and a Porsche 911 in 2006.
I seriously doubt the accident was his fault. I give this only as an example to point out the MR2 is a very small car in traffic and 18 Wheelers cannot see something that small often, neither can other, ordinary drivers. Just be cautious, and keep your head on a swivel to check traffic all of the time in your MR2.
