_Tone_ Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 There was a video kicking around showing a group of people in Iran (I think) drfting in the street on the highway etc in some old cars, this is the upper classes version I suppose!

Mook Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I just don't get drifting. Probably because I've never managed to hold the R32 sideways for more than 10 seconds or so on a track - the hairpin at Croft is the easiest for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 You can get those tyres from Japan that give off red/blue/green/whatever colour smoke when they're spun up. Another nice waste of money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Tone_ Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I reckon the chase car must have been a Porsche Cayenne or Range rover - looked high up. The Carrera GT and M5 were not driving that fast - irresponsible for sure but very skillful! I have never driven on a proper race track - whats the surface like - is it quite grippy - or is it easy to slide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best I managed was a complete lap of an oval in my brothers old 2-stroke go-cart... in the wet on slicks. Never pointing vaguely in a straight line at any time.

Torino101 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Did a track day in the S2K the other day in the pi*sing rain. No sideways action for me - just instant no warning 360's and 720's. One big spin was just coming off the main straight at circa 125mph, it just decided to do the most balletic perfect 720 sraight past the pit wall with everyone looking on. Things were not so seemingly serene inside the car I can tell you Had 4 big spins in the first 4 laps - could barely get out of the car at the end I was shaking so much......
