practice

I practiced at the track on sat, It rained on the morning, so the track was completely wet. After about 10 laps, the surface of the road was getting dry. I started my timing. Because I want to have a better time, so I rush myself a bit. then I was turn in too fast. my car having over steer, then I give some throttle in the same time all four tires had no traction and I was drifting in a small angle. Suddenly the front tires just griped the road and the rear still sliding, as you know on the wrx we dont have to counter steer like rear wheel drive when we are having over steer. so my steer wheel was still turning in the same direct as the turn. and my rear of the car just swing about 90 degree. and I spanned.....first time on track. And my best time was 1:42.6 at reno frenly racy with one passager and 225/45/17 avs es100 tires, 45psi front and 42 psi rear. But I wore out my brake pad.

cool man!

just remember, when you start to oversteer/understeer treat you car like its FWD.

if you get a lot of rotation (oversteer) just give it gas and those front tires will bite
