Like those cars from the 80's. For instance at Richmond Fairgrounds they were driving it sideways. And then I don't mean crabbing, just plain sideways with them tyres smoking and the driver working the wheel.

I wish we could see that with the COT. Get the car more unstable, make the fans see that the driver is doing something to keep the car on track.
