Going Sideways

Hi

Having taken on the might of RWD, I am obviously duty bound to get it as sideways as possible! Problem is, I cant really afford to launch myself backwards through a wall, so I thought I should doff my cap to the sideways heroes here and get some advice!

First of all, I have been "driving" RWD things for ages - Karts/mini race cars, but in those the whole point of the exercise was to get from A to B as smoothly and as quickly as possible, not drift around the track. This means that for catching slides and stuff (which I have had to do several times already) I am alright but for being a dickhead around roundabouts I suck!

I dont think I have enough power for being a prick in the dry, which means my opportunities are limited to the wet or the damp, which is OK but it also means that the odds of me stacking it are higher! I dont fancy that too much! I need to get my drift-skills down in carparks etc first, but want to know how mechanically unsympathetic I have to be to achieve this, even in the wet!

The coolest hooligan thing I have done so far is a rolling burnout, by the way
