Thats generally how spinning or going off works - the group running makes them come in to talk. Not always, though.
Sure the rear end tried stepping out but I was trying to limit this by being smooth. I had the front end slide out once which was more unusual. Grease perhaps. But I always braked early never late.

I went out to the paddock and tried some maneuvers in the wet. First a sharp 90* left turn at 30 MPH. Then a 35 MPH a little wider but no loss of control. Then a 40 MPH and I induced a spin. I filmed this too so I will post and ask for a critique later.

Pilot Super Sports are alright in my book. I recommend them to all.
