It's even harder with a mid-engine car. Glad you tried it. I believe everyone should try it as it will help your driving skills. Maybe not so much with all the modern nanny devices that come on vehicles now a days, but definitely anyone who races or tracks a car.

In your photo the driver is steering into the slide which is normal for me. With the 4 wheel drive on the Subi rally car, you had to turn the wheel into the corner (where you wanted to go), pull on the hand brake and give it the gas so your front wheels would pull you through. Very tricky to get the knack!

Sometimes a Scandinavian flick is the best approach into a corner slide. It takes some practice but you might find it easier. You don't have to use take your hands off the wheel.
