Back end slipped out on the T350 this afternoon. Historically, in the Griff, when hit with an unintended slide the best course of action was to ease off to bring it back.

I found myself just holding this one all the way around. Incredible easy to do with the long throttle set up.

Most impressed.

Just made to have fun

You may find on wet roundabouts/hairpins though, if easing tail out with throttle, that steering brings it all back but closing throttle on it's own doesn't (oops). Practice with care!

Thanks for the heads up.

In the Griff you could push it out when you wanted, apply a spot of gentle opposite lock and bring it back by lifting off the throttle.

It was also difficult to do at speed as the throttle was more of an on/off switch.

Suspected the throttle on the T350 would allow this but only had the car a week so not exactly been rushing to find out Discovered it on a greasy bend unexpectantly.

Held it easily, feathered power in and once round, eased to the point that it came back.

A trip to Bruntingthorpe one wet Sunday may be in order.
