Best bet is to watch videos from japan from the cockpit view and just practice in an open empty parking lot and if its alil wet in the parking lot even better so you can break tractin easier...

1. www.clubloose.com - I work with them setting up events and help run them.

2. Driving in the wet sucks. It's slow and not fun, nor a good learning environment. If you can't figure out how to break traction in the dry, come to an event.

3. You can't just yank the e-brake. You have to have the clutch in, then pull it up. Then once you lower it, clutch out.
