My description of the incident is not accurate.
When I lost the back, I first countersteered and then only put some more throttle ( so used to drive my AWD)... to loose the back the other side, countersteered again, stabilised the throttle to loose the back again on the other side.
My first counter steer was too strong, I guess the second one too, specially with the very precise and direct steering of the GT3, just a little countersteer would of been enough and then keeping the steering wheel straight, but..... like some said, all that happened in a fraction of seconds with a car I have driven about one hour.
A good lesson for me.
Of course PSM would of saved me, but if I reach the point where PSM kicks in....I made a mistake.
I feel that the AWD setting is easier to handle when coming out of corners. The front will help the back when needed. With RWD one needs to be much more smooth and progressive ( which I did not do )
Man I am angry at myself !!!!
My Bro is on holidays, told him about it, not happy, but understands and glad I am ok...

Dear Gnil, i don't doubt your brother won't be happy, but when a person gives his nearly new car to his brother to take it for a drive, it must be a man with a golden heart, so unlike not beeing happy he'll understand...
