posted yesterday fella,

awesome vid though, you almost forget how fat and lardy it is.

There are ways of doing it on a FWD car.

The short wheelbase and general setup of your Cup will make it snappy as hell, so you end-up swapping ends instead (more often than not anyway).

Trail-braking (i think that's the term anyway) is one way... the other is just to lift-off on purpose (Edde will vouch that it's fun). :S

 

[Christopher]

looks like a combo of scandinavian flick and lift off in the vid to me...

funny how a 172/182 would be a tripod all the time if you did that, then snap at you if you were slow to react. that's what mine's like. the 197 just seems a lot more neutral...

unless you provoke it. lol bloody racing drivers.

Looks good in the bends.

All the vids I've seen of this thing have been awesome so far, looks so composed in the twisties.

 

[KyleB]

definately looks better in videoes than it does in pictures.

 

[Thomss]

Good Video.

 

[Peperami]

My cup slides, especially with the back seats out... hehe

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Looks like fun and probably drives nicely but GOD DAMN it's ugly!

Doesn't look very 'sporty' to me.

 

[Phill1978]

its subtle though, i think people forget this. we now have vxr, focus st etc.. a bit ott imo.

will grow on peeps im sure

 

[Englebert]

I agree.

He would of used the handbrake for the money shots.

 

[rcp]

Great video.

 

[ado]

Nice Video.

I like the shot of the Recaro's. They look very nice.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Pah i had better slides than that at the airfield!

 

[walto]

handles like a dream!

Fuk the ST, VXR or what have you, I like my car to be a blend of balance, speed, and discreetness. My dik is not so small that I need a bright red / orange car to say "HEY LOOK AT ME I GOT A FAST CAR". Im loving the new 197, discreet technology hidden under the skin.

 

[W5 CUP]

[rory182]

rally drivers are the best there are, brilliant!

 

[ChrisE]

Grows on me every time i see it...!! :approve:

 

[Alan]

Cool vid!!

He uses trail braking and lift off. You can see it in one part of the vid that he's still braking as he turns. I'd like to be able to master this myself. I''ve trail braked before now and turned and it's amazing how much you can get the rear to move more than just LOO-ing, but I've not had the balls to allow it to slide. The trick is to allow the rear to come very loose and then nail the throttle whilst applying opposite lock. I also noticed the pedals are perfect for heel and toe, unlike previous clios.
