Now here is one for the folks back East. To be honest driving that one at 9 tenths would be hairy. The guy in the Porsche had two wheels off at one point, but saved it. Also think he won. Counted 5 offs in the results. |

...you may want to compare it to this.

This video further makes my point about sawing the wheel: it is RALLY car steering style when the driver is continually trying to feel the grip level. When off pavement the car is always loose and sliding, thus grip is always changing. However, on pavement, every shake of the wheel CHANGES the "chassis set" in the corner and induces slip-angles (breaking loose). The goal is to be as smooth as possible so one can reach the highest corning speed BEFORE the car starts to slide. No driving instructor in the racing schools I've taken have EVER proposed anything but SMOOTH steering inputs. On pavement, SMOOTH is FAST. Terry |
