It's a lot of fun, it did that too a couple months back, but with an RX-8

BTW, you should use 2nd gear for that, constantly revving 1st gear up and down puts a lot of stress on the car...Name:  Burnrout.gif

1. Yes, should have fastened my belt, totally forgot.
2. Yes, forgot DSC on at the beginning DUH
3. I use both hands cause I wanna feel what the car is doing, I usually let physics take over and just try to control the secondary feedbacks. Didn't do a vry good job though.
4. 2nd gear would have been better in my opinion as well, but what i also forgot to do was try this with MDM on, that would have been a piece of cake and made drifting alot more attractive.
5. Hazard button was flashing due to video cam feedback i guess. It doesnt flash in real life.

Actually seat belt is important in any situation, even if you feel you are a careful and a good driver.

The stig in top-gear wears a seat belt when he drives, and the guy is a pro.
