as well as, shifting while sustaining a drift isn't as easy as it seems, it adds too much to the mix for someone who has just started out.

If you're in third for a corner then you better be going fast enough to have momentum help you out, especially with a ka. I've never driven balcony so i can't say, someone may give better input, but i would say stick with second and go wide so that you have lots of room to bring it in, rather than taking a more shallow line and having to work with less room

+1000 on asking people

and like you said, tire pressure tire pressure tire pressure. never forget that you can change it!

it took me a while to remember that if its gripping too much i can always pump it up more haha
I'll try both of those next time and see what happens. I just feel like if I keep it in 3rd and clutchkick all the time I'm gonna have too much wheel speed for the ring you transition into and I'm gonna spin in there. I had one suuupperrr scary clutch lock experience on ortega and since then I've taught myself how to rev match/heel n toe so it doesn't happen again though.
