I was on the edge of celebrating after I reversed the first hairpin from 100mph for the first time but I decided to just continue the lap and make it as good as I could. I ended up doing three reverse entries perfectly then after the third, I turned in too early and hit the wall going for the fourth, which I cut the video out just before.

The whole lap is done without the E-brake also.

I didn't see any reverse entries??? I feel bamboooozled for watching that.

Edit....

It is nice drifts, but it's not reverse entry.

Sac town ^^^ (916) :lol:

Yea those would more than likely be 90 degree entris. But those are great nonetheless. Keep it up though youll get it soon bro,
 
These are very high angled entries :)

But they are not backward entries, backward entries consist of getting over 95 degrees angle. Hence why its called backward cause you look like your literally drifting backwards its only achieved in my opinion if you get high speeds, get angle very early then rip the ebrake :D
 
Once midterms are over I'll redo it and try to get them perfecty reversed and consistent. That angle was basically the furthest I could go without losing consistency around the track so I stopped the spin there. Most of the time I try to get way over 90 and backwards the ground is able to resist the forward motion of the back tires enough to make the car stall. I was even stalling the car in a few of the "reverse" entries I had done that weren't in that lap so getting completey backwards wasn't going to happen and make a good video in a short amount of time. I'll practice them a bit in my GT86 since the power is right there instead of waiting for the turbo to spool in the BMW.
 
Those aren't reverse entries, they're 85-90 degrees though for sure.

If you can do them you're close to reverse, just practice some more, that 100mph entry at autumn ring is a great place to do them I love it :sly:

Sorry but those aren't reverse entries.

It should look like this:

This is not a FULL 100% reverse entry 👎 The entry was good, but you suppose to stay on the inside apex and then finish the corner. Your entry was good but then you went to the outside. So no this is a full reverse entry.
This is a example of how it should be done:

wow the forum can be harsh sometimes. good try mate, your just around the corner to perfecting it, trust me.keep it up bro.

I actually got them down now. I can consistently go over 90° but my exits are iffy. I bit more practice and I'll have them down. If anything, the fact that I placed the back end on the rumblr strips so perfectly and from so far away are the impressive part of that video.
