hehe that's such an old video. Embarassed to show that one lol. That one's with my 2.5L motor, first time trying to drift through a corner. Don't use clutch kick, our clutches are pricey. I use weight transfer or power. Our e-brakes dont work either so the 944's are really limited to how you can kick the tail out (cheaply).

Lots of people have weird definitions of drifting. A powerslide, where you power through the entire turn while accelerating, is one form of drifting through a corner.

BTW - I have some way better vids where I drift through a huge series of corners.

The tires made life a bit tougher... they're super hard tires, so every run I do after a cooldown, it'll oversteer way too much. After the first run, I'll get 1 or 2 good runs in before they get hot enough and start gripping and understeering heavily. Worked around it and got a few good runs in.
