How to drive in the wet
Posted: Wed Sep 09, 2015 3:46 pm
On Mykel's 2015 Neiderrhein Tour we had four hours of fun on a skid pan. F's badly oversteered while TF's liked going the other way, what a great experience. It's hard to show a car travelling at speed when all four wheels are locked but I tried. We had to brake hard in the wet on both smooth and rough surfaces and one exercise was to drive between cones with one surface on either side, we found out how intelligent the abs was but still took out some cones . The first run was at 30mph, the second at 40 and the third was as fast as we dared. The long run off at speed round the end of the track saw the most action. Emma had the longest skid of the day (no abs), Captain Chaos (Herbie) the biggest off, Chrisso managed to lift a back wheel and everybody had fun with no damage other than cones and grass
