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. |

Agreed. If you are over-driving the front wheels, that's a good recipe for slow track times. You may need to get the back to working more, or more traction for the front. You can also try braking earlier so you don't depend on the front tires to brake AND turn.
I occasionally drive a craptastic FWD Isuzu in LeMons events, with stock (really) shocks and springs that fell out of our car and a BMW during suspension upgrades on those cars. The Isuzu handles pretty well, albeit it's significantly traction- and power-limited. But we can lap as fast, or faster than many Spec Miatas at MSRH, so it isn't too bad. What's your setup, maybe we can help? But yeah, driving _harder_ isn't necessarily driving faster. |
