Don't think the link is working, well not for me anyway. Perhaps my firewall has blocked anything that would scare me

Just wondering, what was the surface, air-temp & tires you were running. TIA

Surface is extremely abrasive old runway. Tyres were Pirelli asymetrico. Temps about 15 'celcius. Tyres had about 3mm to start with and put up with 50 miles of abuse.

thanks for the video, i enjoyed it.
Can you post any thoughts you have on 993tt car control. Im trying to get better and really have little countersteering abilities, especially in the 4-wd setup of our cars.

There was an 'in car' camera but the quality was not very good. I'll see if I can get some clips to post. Basically you should be very relaxed at the wheel and 'follow' the steering wheel as the front wheels will point the correct way anyway. You can let go of the wheel and steer the car on the throttle.

It definitely takes some effort to get it sideways. Looks like good fun.

I'm guessing a more aggresive alignment and adjustable sway bars?

In my car it is not terribly difficult to get the back end to moving around.

Nice "catches" w/ your TT, ACEparts_com. You had some pretty decent sideways/drifts coming out of those slalom gates.
