I have a 992S without SC, which means I can have PSM in OFF mode, not in Sports mode.
Having said that, I've never tried drifting a Carrera (or any rear-engine car).
Any tips for gentle drifting on safe corners?

Have you drifted other cars before? Anything with a significant rearward bias?

PSM in Sport and Sport Plus mode (which you don’t have) will allow you to kick the tail out and get a feel for things before it intervenes. You don’t have to completely disable PSM, which if you don’t have a feeling for the dynamics of these cars, I wouldn’t recommend.

Presumably, you would be doing this in a track environment and I’d also suggest doing it with an instructor. Of course, if you have a crap ton of experience, that might be overkill, but it doesn’t hurt. If the plan is to figure this out on highway clover-leafs, I don’t recommend that, even if you have some experience with front-engined cars.

Be safe and smart about it. People wreck these cars not appreciating the handling differences.

That's an oxymoron.

If you're going to drift a car, take it to the track in a controlled, closed environment.

So maybe we've grown in different environments, but where I come from we drift cars at slow speeds, roughly 30-50kph.

Reason I'm asking specifically about Carrera tips is that I'm used to torque-y front-engine cars, so it's easy to let the rear end gently slip at a controlled angle going slow speed. But I don't know what to expect with a rear-engined car.

Its just a car.. LOL , under normal speeds the 911 is a very predictable car work up slow..
