A little Drift...
 
I've read all over the place that the auto will not work for drifting. This is a small clip caught over the weekend. I'll work on getting some linked corners uploaded over the next few weeks. Momentum and technique can keep the auto sideways for days! We went all gymkhana on Saturday and tried to melt the Primacys off the car. In all honesty, while they are absolutely terrible for anything resembling a race track or autocross, the Primacy is a fun tire to slide around on.

I have beat on these things pretty hard and all I'm seeing is a slightly feathered sidewall. Anyone want to sell their stock tires on the cheap? I plan on being sideways (at the track!) quite often!

Oh yeah, the auto will drift! Been there, done that. you can't do clutchkicks though. Neither can you launch it properly. But a drift like that is easy peasy.

The title says "A Little Drift". It doesn't say SIDEWAYS FOR 23 HOURS STRAIGHT, lol.

He's right, you can kick out an AT if you line everything up right, probably harder to lock into a good slide on an AT...

This is going to devolve into a "racecar lolol MT ONLY" thread so I'm going to go now..
