Now here is one for the folks back East. To be honest driving that one at 9 tenths would be hairy. The guy in the Porsche had two wheels off at one point, but saved it. Also think he won. Counted 5 offs in the results. |

I think it's the nature of the beast. On a race track you have a limited number of turns that you memorize and run repetitively. You learn the course and become smooth. On a hillclimb the course is too long and you don't get enough runs to really learn the course and become smooth. I think the guy was just making minor course corrections while driving close to the limit. FWIW
