Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
As I have no desire to get into show drifting, autocross seat-time is probably the best school for me car-control-wise anyhow.
Leading evidence: 'best school' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'best school' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Run back and forth across the ski runs' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
If you ever get to Whistler/Blackcomb take the Night ride on Snowmobiles to the 6000 foot level, running back and forth across the ski runs.

Normally the cars used for stunts like that are beyond hope body wise and just patched to look good.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Great video, I wish I had a place where I could pratice throwing the tail out around corners without the fear of wrapping the car around a tree or sign post. (and have unlimited funds for new tires, lol)
see where the black one tags the rail a little.... yea, that "bump" and the set of tires would set me back YEARS finacialy ! - and fully airborn!! LOVE IT!
glad you liked it!
I have not tried DIRT2 yet.... I only havd the original. You get to drive in a Toyota Tundra with about 1000 hp too... thing is sick fast! - though I prefer my GT3
In Forza I have a GT3 and a GT2
(plus a 74 RS
)
Great videos of a fantastic race, I enjoyed the road much more before they started paving it. I had the fortune to go there many times in the late 80's early 90's watching the Group B rally cars race. And I had the chance to go halfway up in May to the campground which was as far as the snow plows had made it. They were only allowing AWD and FWD cars up past the snow line.
I hadn't made the trade for my 996 prior to our trip so my STI needed some cleanup afterward but it was worth it!
This Carrera 4 was heading to the hills outside of Colo. Springs...
My parent's home has a great view of Pikes Peak from Colorado Springs. I've only driven SUVs up that mountain but if I can ever get my P-car that way it should be a fine drive!
Check out your local drifters; they're all "car guys" and I'm sure they'd be happy to see you and your Porsche. Drift clubs in my area rent out tracks for drift events fairly regularly so they CAN do this in a safe environment. They also go through a LOT of tires during a track-day. Was not uncommon to see 3 vehicles spun off-track simultaneously (and I mean literally see, as in line-of-sight; probably way more elsewhere).
Don't let preconceptions fool you, either; I went with the expectation that it would be all know-nothing hellaflush ricers (and there were a few), but discovered they were mostly serious & knowledgeable motorsports enthusiasts with several people bringing dedicated trailered drift cars with full roll-cages and full sets of performance mods- complete with tow vehicles full of spare wheels. One guy went through 10 sets of tires in 8 hours, though he was the extreme. Most people brought at least 2 sets of tires, though.
I, unfortunately, just had the tires I drove in on and they were near the wear-indicators to begun with and I ran out of tire before perfecting any top-gear style power slides
I had a few slides that felt good, but I wasn't consistent and spun out numerous times. Fortunately, I didn't break anything and had fresh rear tires on my porch waiting to be mounted. Was fun, and I learned quite a bit about car control, but seeing how many people broke their cars and how much $$$ in tires I'd need to actually be able to do this... I think once was enough for me. I'll stick to autocross and HPDE! As I have no desire to get into show drifting, autocross seat-time is probably the best school for me car-control-wise anyhow.
Edit: apparently there was a big drift event at Summit Point last weekend:

Has the air cooled crowd seen this? They saved the 996 from destruction and launched something older. That's not M96 smoke blowing from the exhaust. Is it a 964 or 911?
Qucik eye. You win!
Normally the cars used for stunts like that are beyond hope body wise and just patched to look good. Not that an air cooled like that is beyong hope on its own
Any way to paste a vw engine in there since it seems the exhaust is shooting to the left side in flight?
How come its only the air cooled cars making the leap? Those cars must give the drivers bigger............guts.
It may be a custom modified stunt car with a mid-mount engine and other wizardry to let it do stunts like this. I mean, the suspension doesn't exactly look stock, either.
No, no, no....you need to watch the full in-car video of the run (turn up the volume), I must've watched it 50 times in the last few months, sometimes just for the sound in the background:

Just last week I drove up a mountain - a 4000 foot elevation clime... slippin' and slidin' tail out on most turns - switchback after switchback... and in the dark - and on packed snow - what a thrill!
The mountain was Blackcomb... and we were on a Yamaha! Our time was 2 hours and 10 minutes.
If you ever get to Whistler/Blackcomb take the Night ride on Snowmobiles to the 6000 foot level, running back and forth across the ski runs. They even let you run a few speed laps in a big meadow at about 4000 feet.
