I definitely had full right lock. The problem is that I lost traction in the rear. Mashing the accelerator would have worsened the situation. What I ended up doing was full right lock and clutch in...no brake or gas. As I slowed while sideways, I gently applied some brake and the car came back facing forward as I steered off and parallel to the track. I think being even faster with the right lock could have kept it on the track completely.
