Dont be so mean to the car. You can do it in 2nd, 3rd ... Faster you go (and the narrower the road is), more fun it is. Big plus of drifting a pickup (or off-roader): you can do it on any f+gravel, in places you'd never gop with an M3.
The pic is taken in 3rd gear, but not really great (photographer missed the most sideways part). He was better with Nissan Navara and Toyota Hilux ...

haha, nice ones, was that the day you came up for a lunch to the octavia scout presentation?

anyway, trust me, I have tried in second but it was raining and it was slippery as hell, and you know that that roundabout is VERY slippery and there was no way I could hold it for more than a quarter of a lap, maybe a bit more... so the first gear was the one needed in order to pull out a few laps in a short span of time I had and I wasn't bouncing of the rev limiter, so the "abuse" was really minimal

but I did trie the second and third in a quarry just like you (I have one near my house) and it's pure joy 8)
