Practised a few things today, passable standard.


Left foot braking and throttle control.


The techniques work on a AWD (all wheel drive) vehicle like subaru WRX or lancer evolution. I can't say for sure if they'd work on like RWD or FWD vehicles.


Left foot braking in this case isn't pertaining to those who are psychomotor, and hence they need to use their right foot to accelerate, left to brake.


Let me try to explain left foot braking in my own words.

In a AWDV, as you accelerate, the weight of the car moves backwards, hence the rear tires grip more than the front, and if you were to take a corner without reducing speed, you will experience a slight understeer. (Understeer is when the car fails to turn as sharply into the corner as you would like it to.)

Hence, to be able to attack the corner sharply, i.e, causing an oversteer, you use left foot braking. Left foot braking is done without lifting the right foot off the accelerator. This will cause the momentum of the car to be shifted forward, hence, resulting in the front tires being able to grip more and you'll find yourself being able to enter a corner sharply.


I suck quite bad at throttle control. Can't really get it to work.

Basically you lift off your leg from the accelerator pedal suddenly before a corner and only depress the pedal when you are about to exit the corner. It works on the same principle as left foot braking method, but supposedly loses left speed / causes a perfect cornering (neither over or understeer.)




funny. i never knew lancer was a rally car until i saw their car brochure. if they were to get a rally car, i would think it has got to be a lancer evolution coz it's awd and not the former.
