Lots of rear wheel lift, no weight over the back wheels and the rest is down to the driver. It's massive in Japan!

How does FWD and drifting work then?

lift off oversteer i would guess, wider track up front than at the back.  ive always found polos good for lift of oversteer, cant see it being as much fun as a rear wheel drive car though

i find the lift off on the G40's are crazy..
sometimes its just a little other times you could be on a hard bent and easy off and its broadways..

terrifying for those who are not to it :O

Time for a subframe mate; not so many brown moments by far.

Lift-off oversteer's not really drifting though is it? Be interesting to see how successful it is - guess it'll be similar to Plato's recent efforts in the BTCC.

It's more sliding than drifting I guess, but it does look like fun!

I just looked at that post. its my mate that says about his mate havin a G40 and my bro with the 330bhp ibiza. I'll have to take him for a spin in mine soon. mines running 150bhp so he should appreciate what quick little cars they can be with a bit of work. then report back to them lot!
