Driving techniques: Controlling a FWD car with Martin Rowe

 think I can speak for Chris (and Jethro) when I say that we'll be doing more driving techniques videos in the future. I'm not sure whether we'll do them as features though, as the videos seem to capture the moments - good and bad! - better than a written piece. Perhaps when we've covered most of the bases we'll do a compilation DVD.

As for the missing angles we'll work hard to capture more of them in future. As ever there's never enough time to do everything - especially in the winter - but we always take your comments on board, so thanks for the feedback. Keep it coming
I really have enjoyed both videos on driving technique. It's something that always seems to be missing from automotive publications and it's nice to see you guys take a different approach. So not sure how closely you moniter the comments but Chris this question is directed to you. Are you guys planing more of these videos based on technique and will you be doing any writen article on technique.

Both videos are relavent to myself as my two cars include a 350Z and a latest generation Nissan Altima (I live in Canada).

Thanks for the great content and I look forward to more article and videos.
Despite I never 'trash' a RWD, I must say: You can actually have some good fun in a FWD!! Just need the right piece of road (or track...) and be in the mood for it 8-)

Because of the recent snowing days, I'd like to pointout that for those who can, playing with your fwd in the snow is a great thing: As the grip levels are so low, your able to do things at lower speeds with more time to think about what your doing, and getting in touch with your car reactions to driving input.
It's great simple fun!!
