Eoi - Skid-Pan Day

[Melly]

You don't use a hand brake at all for this

I've used handbrake on skidpan before.

It's easier and better not using the handbrake. And the gympie skid pan is big enough to not use it.

Exactly what I was going to say. If you got a VQ35DE then use the torque to flick the back out. Just did a slidewize day last Saturday and only used the hand brake for parking!!!

So very interested!

Sounds good. Keen.

Using the handbrake on a wet skid pan is a strange concept. All about weight transfer and throttle control. I am keen to have a go in the V36 auto... Just for kicks... I have no ability whatsoever so be gentle...

Didn't realise that it was a wet skid pan. Should be fun then. Was thinking that it was going to be very difficult to execute decent runs with a dry skid pan, no clutch and no hand brake.

lol there was a v6 vr commy ute thrashing around there for a few events, bought solely for the skidpan only. completely stock. So i'm sure none of us guys will have a problem

Yeah it's pretty much like that, except there's witches hats setup to design a course, I think there's about 12 different layouts. Gympie one looks larger in wet area than that YouTube clip

Is it still AWD in the video? I'm interested in doing a skid pan day in mine and just wanted to know how they go if not in a RWD configuration.

I think AWDs go alright but want to grap traction and go. But they can definitely be skidded.

I have skidded the gtr in awd. Its sort of the same but a bit faster and a bit more throttle required.

yeah was still in awd , didn't seem to cause it any problems and was just happy sliding, but as others have said, you do pick up speed alot more than the rwd boys, half the fun i guess
