J-TURN
The famous J-Turn is one of the staple stunts of any good display, as well as being the go-to manoeuvre for avoiding baddies coming at you head-on. We used another Focus RS for this stunt, and it was surprising how much speed you can get up in reverse before flinging the car around. On my first attempt my hand flew off the steering wheel, and later attempts saw me end up in all manner of different directions. This is the one discipline where you need to be heavy-handed and quite violent with the controls, it should have been my best event. I did get there in the end though, even if I did start to make myself feel a bit sick by the end of it!
