Well, take 3 idiots closer 50yo, an abandoned racetrack, a tuned toyota aygo with about ZERO horsepower and some drones.

26-Apr-2023, 06:50 AM Well, take 3 idiots closer 50yo, an abandoned racetrack, a tuned toyota aygo with about ZERO horsepower and some drones. You can imagine what happen That was funny! 29-Apr-2023, 02:22 AM You 100% can drift an Aygo, you just need to use the handbrake at the right point, reverse the lock and maintain the right amount of throttle. Albeit Corsa's, Ka's, Saxo's and Punto's are a magnitude of order easier to drift. Corsa especially if you boost the tyre pressures up and as you turn whack the handbrake, reverse the lock, drop the gear and floor it, it's especially easy. But at the same time broken bones take longer to heal when you get past 40.

Kinda like put the car at 45 degrees to the corner, apply power and change steering lock to point away from normal. It feels almost like you are going to lose the back end and slide out but the car actually powers through the corner at an angle that doesn't feel right. One time I overtook a car on a bend one night at about 65mph, as I did the overtake the back end slid out to not quite 45 degrees, but the back was not straight and I dropped gear, applied far too much power and I slid around the car in front, while moving in a similar way to how a rally car goes around a long corner. That was in a Mk5 Fiesta ST. But if it wasn't a drift, it was probably more of a power slide.

Scared the crap out of me and the couple in the other car looked about the same. The only other time I've achieved one was in snow many years back, also on a long curving corner, out in the countryside. Wasn't anyone around that time and my attempt was intentional given the fact no one in their right mind would be out driving on that road in those conditions. Car was a Mk3 1.8 TDI Fiesta from long ago, my second car. It was heavy, diesel, but not without power. Fun to drive car and good fuel economy. Not a car you do power slides or drift with. I did a small turn, applied the handbrake for a second to induce the back to slide, released, changed lock, applied power and controlled the slide as best I could. FTR, after passing my driving test, I took my first car, also a Fiesta, to an old car park that was covered in sandy soil. I then put cones all around the car park and spent some days sliding my car all over the place to the point I could hit the handbrake and slide the car in between two cones. I also did the same on slick/wet car parks, snow covered car parks and pretty much everything in between, in the hope that the experience would give me better understanding of driving in many conditions and also how the car handled on them. It worked. I have been driving 26 years and have never had a crash and driven in many seriously bad conditions during them. Try Not, Do or Do Not - Yoda |
