I've only ever done Gymkhana in the dry (on the main straight at Zwartkops) with a FWD car with no driver aids... Never ever really been on a skidpan but simple logic is that all your cars handling tendencies are drastically increased with less traction... The 86 is a car that can understeer (difficult but possible in the dry) and oversteer (a lot in the wet). The handbrake may be necessary...
Do you know if there any rules regarding traction aids as I think Sport mode may be best for us rookies? |

I'm a total noob with RWD. If I do go, I won't be turning everything off, will likely put it in sport mode for a little assistance. All depends if I can crack that 1600km mark before then

Come on guys don't be shy. Track days are dangerous, here you will barely get past 40km/h I reckon - and this is real and controlled fun. Phoned the panelbeaters today and what do you know, they suddenly have my parts...
And the woman who was handling my case no longer works there and nobody notified me. Thank goodness I phoned. Pathetic! They can have my car, after the gymkhana... |
