That's the only reason I came into the Northern Cali section.

I had a similar experience though. The road was damp, and I came around a sharp left hand turn in 3rd gear, and as I came out of the turn, the rear of the car kept sliding around. I counter-steered and straightened her out pretty quick though. I just took the turn like it wasn't wet out, that was my mistake.

Nobody else learned how to countersteer from Gran Turismo?

Initial D is one of my favorites too. I learned how to rev match, e-brake and clutch kick from it, heh.

Track is your best bet.

Yip the Spyder is something else. Mine is braced up quite a bit so it takes a bit of coaxing to get it to step out but when it does you in trouble

Speaking of unexpected drifts, i got caught last night. Coming home turning left on a narrow slipway there was fine sand and dust. I was at a good speed and was too late to do much by the time i saw the sand. Came around and ended up facing the curb lying about 1 centimeter away from trashing my front bumper. Traction control was switched completely off at the time.
My fault for being too enthusiastic
