My personal preference for correcting massive understeer related to going in way too hot is to use left foot braking.


Ive never found left foot braking a good option once the front has started to let go.. for two reasons,

firstly theres a tendency if while you are attempting to recocover, the front gives way even more, then you get to a state of semi controlled panic and overbrake, this causes more panic and more break then crunch Sad

secondly, ive found that the best time to trail brake is on entry, then to balance the car mid corner, so really if your going to left brake youve allready got the car in control

another thing is that it can tie you up trying to get around all the pedals if you feel you suddenly need to drop a gear and hit the peak torque range in a hurry. the last thing id want to do in a semi panic situation is create more pressure if the left foot brake isnt controlling the slide. Nothing worse than trying to jump the left foot back across to the clutch and getting the toe of your boot caught on the back of the clutch pedal cause your rushing ( yeah ive never had that happen before Rolling Eyes riiight )
