One more than me. The closest I got was managing to hold it for about 2 seconds. I was quite pleased with myself at the way I could consistenly turn a spin into a neat 360 and then drive off.
Yes well he was trying in the Elise when I was doing mine, and he was doing worse than I was. I did the session after Nick (2.30 IIRC), I guess you were later and Johnny had the hang of it by then.
Ahhh happy days. I don't know why more people didn't want to do that.

lots of lost rear ends
and clumsy attempts at correction
bless his cotton socks
I want to hear how to drift an S2000 on the way to work (and back)
I'm sure I've read loads of posts about being able to do that on here
'arse out action' too
although that may mean something different
and probably does

C'mon Pete, you mean you can't do it? All you need to do is find a roundabout, "boot it", "give it plenty of opposite lock" and apparently you can drift continuously around your local rbout

But this thread was about the car, not the driver.
There is no question that holding the back end out in the S2000 was very hard on the wet grip surface.
I think this was partly because the initial turn in was too shallow and the car wanted to understeer (see RWS thread!) and then required a big dose of rpm to break the back. Holding it from there was very difficult!
FWIW it was far HARDER to hold the rear out on the wet grip surface than it was on the dry circuit.
Also note that the wet grip area was not just wet concrete but the surface was also low friction tarmac.
