st184 sillycar Forums Junkie Location: Melbourne Registered: June 2004	KrikEy! Wed, 23 June 2004 05:14 I don't wanna post just to rip shreds off you Bayka - but CHRIST!! Please install a flashing light on your roof, to warn other motorists that you're driving!!! That FWD downshift-oversteer idea is completely arse-about. It'll push the nose of the car heller-wide AND unsettle everything aswell. Trail braking is all about weight transfer. -Namely keeping the front tyres loaded up with dynamic weight as you turn-in, so you can get that nose buried into the tarmac and start changing direction. There's a very fine art to balancing the car's rotation against the rear-end's grip as you turn-in, while avoiding locked wheels and slides. Over-do it and you'll get bucketloads of oversteer, or even spin. Under-do it and you'll lock the inside-front wheel and/or understeer miles wide of the apex. All that's before you even get near the middle of the corner! May I suggest a performance driving course or 5 ? Seriously though dude - Go to the Australian GP next year, and stand about halfway ->3/4 through a braking zone, so that you can see the apex and most of the exit. Closer to the track is better. Watch M.Schumi come off the brakes as he turns-in (Turn 9 is excellent for this) and just trucks that front-end into the apex like it's on rails. He doesn't get all the way off the brakes until he's back on the throttle!! -now watch how everyone else tackles the turn-in -> apex. Raikonnen is as good, but is a bit messy gathering it up through the apex, losing exit speed. Everyone else looks like amatuers once you've witnessed this first hand. -M.Schumi's first flying lap in the 1st praccy session this year would have netted him a top-6 qualifying spot. On a dirty Melbourne street-track no-less!!!!!! [Report message to a moderator]
