Ive never had the guts to film myself doing this in my gt mr2. Figured if you had an observer the results would change dramatically. All about the nose in, throttle control on exit. Your roundabouts are massive. Nz ones are tighter and we have to drift upside down ofcorse. 😉
TBH these are pretty small compared to some UK roundabouts! We have mini ones too ... but a lot of our roundabouts in bigger cities are huge. In some places like Sheffield, Milton Keynes etc. they replaced every crossing with a roundabout tho lol .. these tend to be a bit smaller than average cos there's just so dam many.

I still have no idea how I survived not hitting anything. Sold it soon afterwards. Such beautiful machines the mr2 turbo I’m just not skilled enough to drive it 😂
Really just impressive. Especially the throttle control. I know this is well known, but seriously. Not panic braking and steering, and instead using the acceleration pressure on the rear tires to get out of turns like that is such good handling.
It's really not that hard to drift an MR2 in the wet. The "snap oversteer" thing is a bit overplayed. Even a Sprinter Van will drift on a wet roundabout. Actually drifting an MR2 at higher speeds with some grip and proper transitions can be a bit tricky though. These cars are incredibly fun to slide around in slippy conditions specially in the snow. Had an AW11 for almost a decade and it was my go to car when it snowed.
owned MR2's since my very first car. Im going to tell you this, Drifting MR2's is GREAT in the rain. Recreate this same test in the dry over and over with hot/sticky tires. Towards the end of your slide, after the apex, the tires will randomly grab traction and throw you the OPPOSITE direction youre travelling and usually towards which ever way the steering wheel is pointing (usually counter steered while drifting) as you can imagine it gets pretty dangerous. Between the ages of 18 to about 23 (owned an AE86 and FC3S RX7) i argued how easily the MR2 drifted. and thats simply because i only ever tried sliding in the rain at first. Very Naïve on my part. I messed around in gravel conditions, Wet, and snow. all would have one believe it was easily driftable. it wasnt until summer my college year where real world experiences started to really add up. i was beginning to become cocky and sliding every corner i could. and admittedly in the dry, some better then others. But i started putting myself in spin out scenarios IN TRAFFIC, and nearly totaling my car a number of different times. Ive owned about 5 MK1 AW11, a MK2 SW20, and a MK3 ZW30.
I've no idea how you managed to do this, in the rain, in a turbo. My N/A MR2 tried to kill me a few times before eventually being written off after wet tram lines sent me into a building lmao. Great control
AC teached me that RR cars are really snappy on the front end when drifting, easy to loose it on the front, in this vid it feels the same, grippy rear and no weight on the front
This is MR platform its called MR-2 for a reason lol porsche is RR the engine is not behind the axle on a Toyota. Yes MR cars have snap over steer on throttle lift
The snap actually happens at rear. It is just that driver is late with steering. The MR2 is an extra case because it also has very low polar inertia moment. Also default isn't crazy powerful, so it is harder to keep rears away from hooking up, especially in the dry. TBH AC teaches people things, but not too much.

This could only be Assetto Corsa because the T-tops didn't leak.
This car and the S2000 are a couple of the most difficult vehicles to drift due to their extremely low moment of inertia
That and the fact that their wheelbase is a lot shorter making it harder

Of course, you could drift a mini van in that weather...
