a popular thing i have seen is drivers "Hooking" whilst making turns ie over cook the turn going to far.... mixed with a bit of camber on the road and it is easy to get in the preverbial crud very quickly......

At the last event in Lincoln i was approached by a good few ww2 veterans all ex carrier drivers so it was good to get some tips from them.... they all came out with the same advice......."turns are made slow.... and i mean slow........ 1st or 2nd gear only no exceptions"

I always wondered if having rubber track pads would help but having thought on this for some time, it would possibly make the driving worse or more hard work anyway.
