That just suggests you weren't trying hard enough  |
Haha, the sideways slides would suggest otherwise
I finished 2nd out of 18 in the Clio.
The thing is whilst there is a very different technique in FWD and RWD, there are similarities. To an extent you can have the rear of a FWD car dancing around, indeed on turn in and mid corner its actually desireable. When braking in a Clio, the rear does tug and twitch, placing the power results in almost no understeer, its fantastically neutral. RWD driving is pretty much as RWD always is so there is less to explain.
