944's are chitty at handbrake turns, cause the handbrake is on the left...

So you are short of hands to make it happen, unless you find a way to yank the handbrake with the left,
while holding the steering wheel in the right hand and then ultra fast changeover
so you got your left on the steering wheel and the right on the shifter knob to downshift.

You gotta downshift after a handbrake turn, cause you lost all the Rear wheel speed with the handbrake...

It was the only real grief i had with the 944 design.. In the snow or gravel you can sort of work around it by simply engine braking and heavy clutch work.. (prolly wear too).
