It is best not to "drift", the more hooked up you are, the faster you go.
Circuits are run counter-clockwise, so the right-side shift is advantageous.
We have a small local track here. I'm wondering if anyone has had a go at it w/ their 993? Bet it would be fun!

lots of experience in my Audi Coupe Quattro. Just running non studded Nokia's-before they added the "N" on the end-people confusing cellphones and tires I imagine.
I would have loved to run ice racing tires, but didn't have the brake clearance, or fender clearance if you had to choose.
I would run open class times, but locally, you simply didn't mix it up with the open class folks if you had a nice car. So I was stuck running TT's on Sunday's.
I could head to the Lake George area and run in classes, as there were lots of other "nice" cars-Audi's Volvo's, Saab's etc. No intentional rubbing going on there.
That used to be lots of fun, no better way to learn car control. Ahhh, the ole scandinavian flick, Audi's were real good at that-engine all in front of the front axle and all. I'm sure you could easily "set" a 993 at turn in...catching it every time might be another story.

I couldn't imagine running a 993 but you can have a lot of fun in a Neon or even a Chevette. I really helps with car control skills.

Not a 993, but spent some time on the Lake Superior inner harbor ice during my undergrad years in Thunder Bay Canada with a '72 Super Beetle; that car was a great ice racer, some years we had awesome smooth ice but most times more like off roading.

Thanks Jager!
Sure puts a big smile on my face! Thanks for remembering.
The Riv blue and snow make for awesome scenery.
Lately I've been sliding like that, but on this . . .
(tried to insert snowmobile pic here)
700cc two-stroke triple w/ Fox suspension. It needs a new track so you slide turn it ;-)
.
.
But when I find one of these SOS describes (see post #16) I'll be all over it and set her up with studs . . . .
