Thu, 26 December 2002 22:56 simply put.. your understeering will be affected by the speed and weight distribution of your car.. example: you enter a wide corner that should be taken at 120 for full clearance, while keeping the fastest line, hoewever, you hit it at 150, and when you enter under brakes, you start understeering. at this point most rookies freak out and fuck their car up on the guardrail. However, if you know your speed is too high for the corner, rather than clutching to second, stay in neutral, keep braking and get the revs right, you can correct your understeering and pop your clutch one you get it in line again. the entry will look messy , but it keeps your car in one peice, and your exit should be fine. Take me for example, my tyres burned down during a race, and as i entered into a turn, they didnt respond, so i started to understeer. rather than trying to correct, i sped up, dropped to neutral and used the handbrake to drop my speed, into second, and swung my back end round. the car responded after i had tried to straighten with the handbrake. not sure why it worked, but it did. I ended up on the worst line for the next corner, but i didnt damage my car, and i made the next corner faily easily because i knew that my tyres were in poor condition. the only other way i know to correct understeer is to pump your accellerator in either way.. usually has the best results.. you only need brakes and gears when you have severely understeered. both pumping your accellerator and braking will throw weight forward to the front wheels, so you should gain more grip. Your speed will effect your understeer, and your tyre condition, if you know how to keep both in check, you cant miss. Thats all i can come up with.
