[QUOTE="Kawidude, post: 1147147, member: 18582"] After about an hour of classroom instruction on things like load distribution, turn-ins, apexes, trail-outs and threshold braking, we hit the skid-pad to practice recovering from skids/spins. What a great way to start the day! They put us in a new RX-8. The front tires were brand new with 35 psi and the rear tires were completely bald with 90 psi. They really wanted us to spin these things! We'd basically accelerate all the way to the turn in cone, apply a little more brake than necessary to induce the slide and then countersteer, pause and recover from the slide as close to the apex as possible. I picked up on it really quickly and had a blast going through the skid pad sideways. The RX-8 is a 1.3L rotary engine that doesn't redline until 9,000 rpm, so these things loved to be revved out!
