In a DCCD equipped type r/type ra, pulling up the handbrake a couple of clicks throws it into open diff so using the handbrake is not an issue.

I don't. Think it's too twitchy on the limit compared to the BMW's I've had and have. Poor weight distribution.

It's fun to practice in an airfield though

Yeah it's quite front heavy, more like 60/40 than 50/50 which is "ideal".

having an uprated rear arb helps, the front likes to wash out
