Drifting with stock power on the dry

[Mux213]

Jan,

The tire pressure has a bit of a story...

I put 2.5 bar in my tires at a gas station with one of those digital air things before running around Zandvoort.

Then on Lelystad Robokill drove my car for a bit on our way up there and mentioned my tire pressure was to high because the car was way to easy to drift (plainly mentioning this going sideways at 80 or so over a big crossing) and told me we should take some pressure out because we're were going to do gripdriving today.

So at Lelystad we asked around and one of the guys had a tire pressure meter and it measure over 3.5 bars in my tires!! WTF?!?!

So we took it down to 2.5 bars again assuming the air system at the gaspump was wrong. Turned out however the tire pressure meter wasn't very accurate, we later on measured and turned out the tires were actually at 1.9 bars now.

But at Lelystad we don't have an airpump to inflate the tires, so we had to make due.

Lelystad a year or so back driving Robokills car on 8Kg/7Kg and having tire pressure available (tire fitter was helping us out) we started playing around with tire pressure. He found that with the tires he had back then and his car setup, his fastest laps where with 2.1 to 2.2 bar in his tires.

P.S. having a car with very neutral balance I actually like very much even when drifting. Having it oversteer to easily just gives you a very messy oversteer. Atleast thats what I feel right now, not being very experienced in this field.
