Mini Cooper S & lift off oversteer

[trackdemon]

Was out running a few errands in the Cooper S yesterday morning, driving the Mini in my usual 'enthuisiastic' manner (well, the car does encourage you to after all) pitched into a large roundabout and the surface changed just as I turned in - cue MINI drifting progressively sideways and opp lock round the rest of the bend. Hilarious Roads were empty so went round for a couple more goes, and its really amazing how sideways the little bugger will go whilst still being easily controllable Who needs RWD??!! Anyone else indulge in this side of the MCS persona?

Note: Probably helps that the front tyres were changed recently, and the rears are just legal, I expect the car will be a little more stable once the rears are changed too.

Surprisingly good fun on track too - more room to commit and get lots of oversteer...

Rain + slippery roundabout should do the trick. Ours will happily get quite a long way sideways Either that or get and trick and a Scandanavian flick is guaranteed to get some rear end action :no pun:

Thankyou for your worthy contribution. I would have expected a better post after 11 days thinking about it......
