Drifting a Porsche in the rain

NORIYARO » DRIFTING A PORSCHE IN THE RAIN: That is, drifting a Porsche in the rain and not spinning out

Quote:

At a private Porsche-only drift school run by Ken Satoh from Mercury at Minami Chiba Circuit the other day, D1 driver Tetsuya Hibino took out one of the students’ cars to show how it’s done. I might add that this was only his second lap in this car!

We were at the Z8 driving school, wet skidpad and the instructior would play with the e brake to toss the car into a skid. His comment was "both the guy in front of you and you are really good at correcting into the spin and controlling it". My response was "we're both from Wisconsin, compared to snow this is nothing".

He laughed and told me to have fun.
