Re: You know youre a bad drifter when...	Sat, 28 June 2003 11:30

problem is: there was never a point where i was even close to parallel to the road direction i initially gently (not sliding) sent the car to the right, diagonally across the road, when i got to the far right hand side of the road (doing about 70), i sharply flicked the wheel back left, and stomped on it. this, got the rear end right out (as youd imagine)... i quickly countersteered back to the righ, and the car was essentially 90 degrees to the road for maybe 50-60m. this was maintained with full throttle... problem was, i backed off the throttle, and the car didnt straighten up so: she continued at 90 to the road, but instead of travelling stright down the road, she wandered off to the left, clean off the road, and into the above mentioned trees. somewhere in there i backed off the throttle, and it was too late. braking did virtually zero, and the car was just planing sideways. i had 'some' steering 'influence' with the wheel and brakes, but not much... but, i know what you mean when youre simply sliding in oversteer around a corner, thats easy!! cheers ed [Report message to a moderator]
