Just to prove you don't need a turbo to do aproper powerslide with semislicks, a 286hp Carrera 2 is enough. All you need is a little driver mistake and you can be drifter for a moment... ![burnout](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/burnout.gif)
Found these on the net, someone was taking photos yesterday when I attended a BMW Club track day with some friends.

The photos were from a corner coming out in 3rd gear and I thought it was nice that I could powerslide trough the entire 3rd gear. that doesn't happen very often with the R888's.
BTW, I wouldn't speak about street tires. The R888's grip very close to Hoosier R6s.
The R888's are also horrible on the street, noisy as hell and tricky in the rain. Not a proper street tire IMHO.

Nice pics Juha!
I have always wondered how far I could take a slide before it bites my head off, luckily that hasen't happened yet!
Although I have heard from fellow RL'ers that these cars will act proper in a certain turn , but the next lap ..... crash!! Same gear, speed, and line ? what gives?

My car is setup quite neutral so it is very easy to rotate and correct.
I also race a BMW and I have to admit that the BMW is much more easier to drive at the limit than my 993.
