Snow Driving Techniques
Drift:
I just let the engine do the braking in low box, my tire are sipped and it made a difference on the approach to the Wayfarer on Sunday evening, the guys with Swampers an diamond backs where all over the place, though we did decide discretion was the better part of valour considering the time of course :^o when we came across this, we thought was a drift bit it went a long way, further than we could be bothered to walk :lol:

Find a big carpark or field then 2nd gear flat on the gas .. then dip the clutch and as the rear comes round gun it then try and balence the revs with the slide and drift the car as long as you can . after a while (1 , 2 hours ) :twisted: you can start changing direction and doing figure 8's while still in 4 wheel drift....
I did this with the last lot of snow , now I know what a skid feels like and how correct it . it teaches you how to handle the car in a slide and is loads of fun .
with this lot of snow I felt a lot happier driving and went a few places I wouldn't have gone before...
best advice "Know your limits , then expand them" :twisted:

Thats how I learned :dance: RollsRoyce had a factory about two miles away from where I grew up and it was HUGE about two miles long and a half mile wide!!!
Whenever it snowed or there was heavy ice, we went down there to play! Great fun :dance:

I agree BFG ATs are the business in the snow - got brand new MTs on the road motor and they are nowhere near as nice. Sipes are your friend!
