Came up to a roundabout, shifted down to 2nd (Going about 15-20 mph), exit the corner with a reasonable amount of throttle and the back end steps out (Drift bible flashes before my eyes), (Unfortunately, it's the bit with the MR2) starts to slide at a little angle, I counter steer, and let off, snaps twice and recovers after I let off and stop sliding around on black (and now also brown) leather.
Drive very cautiously back home (About 1/2 a mile of A-road)
Get out, with a mixture of awesomeness and fear, very surreal feeling...
I'm hoping at least now I have a good grasp of how the back end feels to step out, more practice needed for sure.
Any advice for how you guys overcome this?
Any entertaining storys of your first time?
