Quality!

The passengers face after he had "cracked it" was superb (a little bit like yours at Anglesey! )

Lucky escape.

Quality.. noticed the different rear wheels, well certainly drivers side anyway.. guess they were using some 18s maybe so as not to wreck the tyres on the other 19" wheels?

That's a really interesting steering technique; Just allow the wheel to spin and catch it when necessary.

Very different to any of Japanese stuff I've seen where the drivers feed the wheel with both hands.

I can't get my head around how just letting go of the wheel works as you obviously need to steer into the slide.

Need an expanse of flat tarmac to have a play

The castor effect will pull the wheels straight

Aye; I think what confused me was the driver seemed to be allowing a lot of wheel self centering due to castor which almost made it look as though he never steered into the slide but on looking again he does briefly steer into the slide; Probably due to opposing corners coming immediately one after another in rapid succession.

Just looked odd without having the external view for reference

Interesting vid
