This resulted in me re-crossing the track, which is pretty damn dangerous. I've done better about this in past incidents, but my mind wasn't in the right place this time around:

You analyzed the video well. You needed to get off the gas when you missed the apex. Your tires were off track by less than the amount of track you missed at the apex.

And then here's another guy doing the same sort of thing right in front of me, in a different session. Notice that I brake a little until I'm sure where his car is going (well that and dropping a little speed gives you some excess traction for emergency corrections), then push on through immediately:

Once you figure out he is going left you go right. Perfect. My Miata was going off track then he came back to go right and then stayed left.
