"Noticed!" Hi-larious!

Actually, lifting the inside wheels should allow one to avoid the curbing altogether, while increasing the radius of the turn at the same time.

If it lifts both inside wheels without some "help" radii aren't an issue. It's too dangerous to drive unless you are Reme Jouliette (French stunt driver).

Check out the latest issue of Grassroots Motorsports for the accompanying pictures. Who knew a 50-year old British sports car could generate that much lateral g-loading to nearly roll?
