Driving Techniques - How to stop the front end from 'pushing' Sun, 06 June 2004 23:26 Go to previous message
ok...

say youre fanging it through the twisty bits, and you JUST overcook your entry speed to a decent corner... and the front end starts pushing...

alternatively, you get the entry speed just fine (you think), but you missjudge the apex, and have to tighten the radius. once again the front starts pushing.

or, finally, youre going downhill, and you hit a downhill off-camber corner... the front starts pushing (surprise!)

what can you do?

ive tried dabbing the brakes to shift weight forward, and cant seem to get that to work, it just seems to lock the front and send it off the corner faster.

ive tried gassing it a little to break the rear end and turn the car in a little more, but all this seems to do is encourage the car to continue sliding, just at a different angle.

SO... what do the pro's do? how is this correctable mid corner?

AND THEN... what kind of changes in setup will help prevent this in the future? tyre pressure, toe, camber, shock adjustment (rebound vs compression daming rates) etc etc

cheers
