Re: Icy roads

I used to like the feeling of sliding around in a car, but since I've gone to RWD I can't stand it.

That second one was hilarious! Props to that guy.
Still, the one I posted was the worst I think. The speed those cars were going were ridiculous.

Re: Icy roads

Yeah people just need to learn how to drive in snow/ice conditions, that first vid who ever was driving was an idiot.

Re: Icy roads

I'm inclined to think that proper winter tires would be of great help... I've never experienced anything like that here.

Re: Icy roads

But racing cars use "racing slicks" so I thought if I just wear mine down to nothing I would get more tracking.


I only had a few miner slides in the A4 with snow tires. Most of the time I had plenty of traction.
Do you know how hard it is to do donuts in a car with snow tires and 4 wheel drive...
