I overcooked turn 11 a little at the Golden Gate Lotus Club track day yesterday in a 1.5 Roadster...

What went wrong...
I was fast out of turn 10 and honking along... completely miss-judged the speed and braking for turn 11.
At the point I should have been tuning in I was going too fast so I delayed the turn in a little to stay on the brakes longer.
That left me with a late turn in, still highish speed, and no throttle.
The car was rolling along ok - it was going round the corner until some idiot went for throttle control
To exacerbate matters the tire pressure was too high - the car had been skating on other corners that session.
While in the spin I could see where the car was going and figured the best course of action at that point was to let it end up where it did - out of the way off the track and no risk to the car.
My first ever black flag
