Thats an intersting concept hey. Cheers for that And about track days only costing $50, that cant be entirely accurate when u include tyre wear etc due to higher speed cornering etc. Those of us who do the odd tail hanger at 3am cant afford a fine, $50, or new tyres, but we do it anyway No, trail braking is actually braking till quite late into the corner, same theory as what you're doing except using the brakes and not the engine braking. Generally under normal braking it is best to finish braking before the corner so as not to unsettle the car through the corner. With trail braking you use the brakes to unsettle the car through the corner, generally causing the car to tail out. Very effective, but you generally need a fair bit of speed (or a very tight corner) to do it well. As for track days, there's a lot more to "track" than zooming around a track at 180km/h, in fact virtually all the "track days" I take part in are at much lower speeds. Ever heard of motorkhanas, khanacrosses, autocrosses, hill climbs etc? They're all relatively low speed and relatively cheap "driving fun" you can have. And besides, pulling skids on the streets still wears your tyres out anyway... [Report message to a moderator]
