Default E-brake fun...

hey

just wondering if there is a "proper" way to use the e-brake to fishtail or whatnot while driving. to the smartasses, i know you have to be driving, i know it's gotta be on a turn, but could you tell me 1) is there a proper technique to any "tricks", whether it's how hard you pull, when do you pull in relation to cutting the wheel, should you (or not) give it gas immediately after (with a rev-drop?), and 2)how bad is this for the e-brake/brakes?

thanks all.

Default Did an Audi driver thing were they intentionally induced oversteer w/ e-brake on a wet course.

Just did it during the turn. Hit it hard, then let off the brake. Not sure if the pavement needs to be wet since I've never tried it myself. Maybe I should...
