I wanna learn how to drive like this in the wet
How do I learn that? Anyone have some in-camera footage of their own driving like this? |
I think you need more umlauts in your name, for one thing.
|
Hoosier wets are a start.
|
I recommend you move to NE Ohio, pick up a 1973 F-250 (2WD, no positraction), make sure you keep the bed light (no sand bags) and drive through a couple of winters.
Also, change your name to Walter, Rolf or something similar. |
Hahaha, thats how I feel every time it rains, my little 165 pirelli's that came with the wheels have absolutely no traction in the rain.
Every time Im in a turn i have to be going under 7 mph, or if I just yank the wheel or blip the throttle my whole rear end flies around. Its fun until your trying to make a light and end up sliding through a divided highway turn on accident... |
i dont have the ballocks for that.
even at 1:40, where he's all like "look, no eyes!" but im going to assume it helps to drive a car that's that ass end happy even in the dry... |
Should have spent your formative years counter steering more.

Looks like me at a wet autoX. Just confidence and be in tune with your car.

This is one of the few times where "practice drifting" IS the answer.
|
Drive a shifter kart in the rain. It will redefine "quick hands" for you.

I feel like I looked like this this morning. All my mazdas are down and since it was clear and sunny I decided to drive the 911 to work. Well at 6 am all the dew is still frozen on the road and 10 year old hard 315's don't do very well.

I would imagine a well balanced/tuned suspension would be a really important start.
