again not really drifting, due to the fact that it was wet he was able to break traction and keep the slide going. | ||

Most cars both FR and FF, the 80-85% of the foot brake is applied to the front wheels. You might consider adjustin the brake balance so that there is more brake force to the rear brakes. Also, use left foot braking as u go through the turn while also balancing the acclerator. This is just a theory, i dont know if it works or not. If it works and u live, please let me know, if not, well... i guess is good bye. |

For a regular curve a FWD should left-foot-brake to achieve neutral-steer; this will produce the quickest lap times for the FWD car. If oversteer is induced that's lost speed. However on hairpins, and basically all loose surfaces (such as rain, snow, mud, gravel), FWD should drift all the time (for max speed). The low traction makes it easy to drift; either by hand-brake, brake, or lift-off. FWD,RWD,AWD curve ethos: Fast entry = Slow exit Slow entry = Fast exit Therefore: Drift in - Grip out |

Billy Jean is not my lover ... Group: Advanced Members Posts: 586 Member No.: 68 Joined: Nov 1st 2002 Location: Update Profile | simple question: would it simplify drifting if you added weight to the rear? like the time itsuki was in the back of the 86 and takumi drifted like mad? cant rmb clearly but yah......adding weight to the back would increase the inertia therefore making it harder to stop the car from regaining traction......right? |

For example, a lot of regular everyday drivers put a sand-bag or two in the trunk of their (rwd) car so that they wouldn't oversteer as easily during the snowy season. It also makes it easier to get the car moving if it's stuck in the snow. |
