can do strange things. When you start changing the weight balance between front and rear through the actions of your feet, and then complicate those with lateral movements, you can end up with a very light rear end.
I've managed to loop a Viggen before...and I'm pretty sure it was due to starting the turn while hard on the gas (weight transfer to rear). I had the wheel turned farther than I should have since the car wasn't steering as I had expected. So, I got off the gas a little, the front came back down, and the added traction on the front combined with my agressive steering input caused the spin. Exciting actually...
I'm sure the track wizards on this BB can explain this with much more clarity than myself...
Cheers,
Mark
