Thanks for the pointers on the hands ... had to go back and review some videos. There is room for improvement. Although to be honest I never felt the oversteer. Planning on some more instruction time this year before this happened.

Did not try to start when upside down, was trying to turn off.

And as for the venue: where we are there are only two venues available and both are short track ovals. I guess the only other option is not to AutoX. There is a venue on the mainland, but that means close to $200 in ferry fares, an hotel room and other associated costs (I know, cheaper than what happened). And it is under extreme pressure from the locals as being too noisy. We do try to make the courses as safe as possible, and you usually drive to the conditions (no room for error in some sections). Accidents are rare, but not as rare as a parking lot / airport course.
