Default Performance Driving Techniques

Any members have web based resources for performance driving techniques ?

http://turnfast.com/tech_driving/driving.shtml

I'm interested in any info/resources that relates specifically to the WRX handling characteristics on a tarmac ( understeer ).

Cheers,

Matt

You forgot to turn your stereo up loud and make sure your baseball cap is on backwards first.

Lol!

Not sure how reading helps. Go to AHG, have an instructor in your car and learn what to do.

My n00b rule: If you are understeering, take your foot off the gas until the fronts regain traction.

If in doubt, hit brakes hard, clutch in and hold on

Pull the handbrake if you start understeering...

if u are understeering, off accel, tap the brakes and wot again <--- all while still turning

Result: You will atlest turn in
Advice: do this on a skidpan where the only thing u can hit is soft cones
