Default My XR6T on the Skid pan... **Videos**

About a year ago I did Stage 2 of the Ian Luff advanced driving courses. It involves going sideways and having lost of fun

So here are a few in car clips of me giving the XR6T a “bit of a go”. Sorry about the huge back light. A wet skidpan is very bright, but I think you get the idea of whats going on.

Slalom

Cloverleaf

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8qQjfqRxqk

The Big Circle (lots of sideways action. I hit full lock left quite a few times, so its quitesideways )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBl2Gbvuo-c

All of the spins I had

Enjoy…

**** yeh!

Looks awesome mate.

How much does a day like that cost?

Oh, and also, how much power did you get from your 10psi edit?

Its $295, but its a full day and lost of fun. I did it before I had the edit too, but after the edit it made about 230RwKw.

Mate that was some impressive driving. I would love to do that may have to ask santa (might need a bit more power first) One every six months that would have made you feel pretty good about yourself.Great driving

If you think you’d enjoy fanging your car around without having to worry about cops or hitting anything, then you’d enjoy the day.

yep what else can i say other than to agree with others. nice car control.. reminds me of my paddock bashing days, just with more tyre wear

if you do it again, definitely get someone else to video outside the car too, that'd look great edited together.

nice work.
