How about practice?
I haven't learned a single thing about how to drive from the internet.
Here's a diagram I made, not exact or to spec, but it's an ok explanation .... it's not understeer in any great degree, nor do you slide for long, but it's basically just a technique to slide to the outside of a corner. Like I said, dirty trick.
ok i get you....i'll have to try that soon. In my civic of courseEran said:Link? Information?

Except for positioning yourself, that is quite pointless then. Sliding like that, slows you down, scrubbing off speed only. You wouldn't have to use such a technique if you set yourself up enter the apex and exit at certain point at the apex. I'm guessing this would be a drift technique? it's for the show eh.Eran said:Link? Information?

You can practice all you want, but it's physics that limit what you can and can't do. By learning about the different physics behind each technique you at least understand what's going on and prepare for.

i think thats why he said it more of a technic to slide, to have fun.
Like i said before. if you want to go through a corner in a ff with speed use the left foot brake technic
I love people that pretend to be retarded just to "catch" people in their mistakes. 
It's a positioning technique, and it also helps sharpen your abilities. I learned to control my understeer a long time ago so that in a potentially dangerous situation, I can move my car where it needs to be, and also control what is hapening to my vehicle. I don't know a lot of people that have practiced sliding out just to know what to do if it happens in real life. It's still faster than full breaking, and less taxing than left foot breaking.

thats a dirty trick too
i fried a new clutch in under 5 seconds. i was racin in virginia beach. it was wet out and i was at a light. i had a good start. all the way through first no problem. 6500 shift. then all the way through second no problem 6500 shift..doin about 50. then.....back to first. the needle went alll the way over and back to zero. then i had no movement. no clutch at all. i had to adjust it all the way out. then i had to limp it 6 hours back home. it was grinding and slippin all the way! new clutch 165 bux. i pulled it out. and there was no material left on the disc at all. it was pure metal.renegadex96 said:
I sacred the s**t out of my roomie today on rainy roads by consistantly slipping the rear end around.
Just a little dab on the breaks is enough to shift the weight forward and bring the tail around a little. Reapply the gas and you can carry it. It's not a drift it's just better than understeering around corners. This may be a DC5 thing though, the things pretty damn neutral at the limits.

Have to give that one a try next time i'm flying around the traffic circle
I take everyone's comments for the benefit of a doubt. I really didn't understood the technique and just wanted to see what exactly was behind it. And obviously, it's not quite practical in real racing situations.Eran said:I love people that pretend to be retarded just to "catch" people in their mistakes.

Dirty trick? Useless in my book, but whatever floats each ones boat.
