quality andy g can drive, was doing it at gatebil, its refreshing for a uk driver to drive to have fun rather than just for fastest laps in their imaginary race.

4wd driftings funny, as can go in at silly angle like your gonna spin, then do a wierd understeery slide back out, its cool as in a wierd way.

Didnt realise it was 4wd at first and thought "he wont recover from that, game over" then it happend just as you described, not sure which is cooler that for the massive angles, or rwd for the way they can be held so long.
I know one thing though, I cant do either properly

4wd could be held just as long as rwd if done right.

just 4wd means you can go in at stupid messed up angles and not spin out as it goes all fwd and just pulls you out.

hence why in that vid it was going in backwards like a nutter, but coming out straight rather than drifting.

thats do-able in rwd too, but obv with 2 less driven wheels its not an easy thing.

i think potentially, purely due to the ability to recover from anything, 4wd is best for drifting, hence why its banned from competition

I managed to fluke a 4x4 drift in my Pulsar at Northweald, everyone thought the same, that I was just going to spin out of it, but I kept my foot in and pulled it off, Felt fucking awesome lol!


Love that estate, seen the video a few times, I take it its straight cut, judging by the whine?
