With AWD, isn't it pretty much counter-steer and mash the throttle?

Cool event all, and very fun course.  This was my first AutoX since
Boondoggle, so I certainly wasn't maximizing no traction circle like I
should have been, but the video is worth watching if only for the symphonic
sound of an uncorked L24:

Now if I can just convince Vic to not run any more of the Slush Series...

Keep talkin' Chris...I have a feeling that once I learn how to drive my car
with oversteer (temporary though it may be) you may just get a run for your
money (no pun intended)  ;-P
