So I've autox some now with front wheel drive and have hit a track with same car and bloody heck I'm over driving and scrubbing speed off via plowing.
It's like its second nature over driving the bloody car. I know I need to stop it but. The lines I try don't seem to be generating speed like overdriving the fwd car. What is the proper tech for fwd? Is it really slow in and roll on the throttle more than an fbody? Please anyone with fwd exp help out the idiot behind the wheel. |

It's hard to give you suggestions without knowing the make/model of the car and the basic suspension setup. I drove a '98 Neon ACR for several years in both autox and road course venues. The car handled relatively well and cornered with only modest understeer, however, the car came with Koni SAs and had oversize anti roll bars from the factory. The car always had the largest allowable tire and sticky compounds for the track.
Unless you're charging into the corners and jumping on the throttle, my guess is that a good part of your trouble is suspension/tire related. FWD with soft suspension and average oem rubber will want to understeer as that's the nature of the design. So, what are the details on the car's current configuation? |
