Mon, 30 December 2002 12:18 I'm of the general opinion that you should avoid understeer (and any significant oversteer) in the wet. it's quite a lot harder to correct in the wet than in the dry. I'm a firm believer in what max said.. get to know your car, and practice on nice open roads how to get yourself out of trouble. In my celica (which I knew very well), my soltion to understeer was always 2nd or 3rd gear (depending on speed) and loud pedal to the floor. had just the right amount of power to change understeer into gentle 4 wheel drift, which was perfect for taking corners REALLY fast (as anyone who's cruised with me will testify). However, in my supra that would be a great way to spin out into a tree/guard rail. If you've entered the corner too fast, my usual tactic is to turn the wheel till it starts to understeer, then use moderate acceleration to encourage some oversteer. it's messy, and if you dont know what you're doing can get you in more trouble than you started, but it gets the car going in the direction you want bottom line : get to know your car [Report message to a moderator]
