1:50.8 on that track is blazing fast But it sucks to have this issue at turn 9.

The danger in where this happens in not just completely making the car unstable (think of lifting the throttle completely mid-high-G corner), but when you have cars on your tail with nowhere to go...

FWIW, I set a new personal best at this track yesterday @ 1:50.8, which is running with incredibly fast cars and talented drivers.
