| Rear wheel Drive Handbrake turn Approach roughly around 30mph. Scandinavian flick. As you turn the right way yank the handbrake to lock the rear wheels. Push clutch in to prevent stalling. Then accelerate out remember because it is rear wheel drive it will spin easier and when you accelerate you might have to correct any oversteer remaining. 90' turn Can be done same as Front wheel drive but also just by turning hard you will get this effect remember to correct oversteer. 360' turn Approach 70mph. Scandinavian flick. Yank handbrake as you turn the right way. Once through about 90' reverse the lock to help the front swing round. Hammer the brakes to help the front skid round. Select lower gear and accelerate out. Donut Standing start. Full lock one way. Roughly about 5000 revs. Let the clutch out suddenly and keep the gas pedal floored. To keep the rear wheels spinning. Extended donut Either standing or driving start get the oversteer created then constantly balance the oversteer with the gas and steering and you will make a large radius donut, but in this case you will be steering into the oversteer to make the radius bigger. Four Wheel Drive behaves most of the time like front wheel drive so Scandinavian flicks are essential. |
