Do you actually just mean backend come out and start silding?? Do you counter steer or not? If it dose then it is just drifting/oversteering, 4 wheels drifting you actually still steer into the corner or pointed straight while still in the middle of the comer. Is either all s2k members are driving god here or you guys have completely misunderstood what 4wds drift mean...lol you have to be well over the maximum uk speed limit into a roundabout to achieve this and you have to drive right at the limit of the possible grip from your tyres as well.... Maybe you guys should go do some racing...


My thoughts exactly, I managed it a handful of times in my Caterham during races and if I'm completely honest, by accident

Lovely floaty feeling...

That's understeer followed by oversteer - too fast in followed by too much throttle too early. Or just too much throttle too early.

Fun, but not quite what Dixon is talking about

Wombling free!

Dixon is spot on, I would hazard a guess that none of the 'road drifters' here have actually drifted a car so much as sawed at the wheel and lot one end followed by the other

I've drifted all 4 wheels once in the BAT R400 at Rockingham. I think i had MarkB on board at the time.

Must have been the extra weight that caused it
